ASDIN 8th Annual Scientific Meeting Research is for Physicians? Right? No Associate Membership Role in Research Deborah Brouwer RN CNN Research Requires a Team Research Team • Can be physician lead depending on the area of investigation • Can be lead by other members of the Healthcare Team • Can be lead by you – yes any one of us as associate members can conduct research You Need to First Identify the Area to be Researched • Dr Loc talked right before me about topics currently being researched in vascular access – any of those strike your fancy? • Topics can be everyday simple tasks you think can be improved, but don’t have the data Examples of Topics • X‐ray exposure specific to a dialysis vascular access intervention • Infection rates related to the set up or room turnover • Product selection – what process should be used instead of just cost considerations? • Impact of patient comfort measures used during VAC procedures • Patient education done pre‐procedure: can it reduce pain and required use of medications during the procedure? ASDIN 8th Annual Scientific Meeting Examples of Topics- Team Examples of Topics- Team • AVF maturation and development of stenosis – the role of side branches? Do we ligate or not at the time of surgery? If not, then what is the role of IN/IR to treat them if impacting AVF maturation or function? • Catheter designs and impact on hemodialysis adequacy and infection risk (especially with the new bundle and infections now cost the HD unit direct money?) • Role of AVF mapping to assist with cannulation‐ can it be useful? • The 2006 KDOQI Guidelines have research questions that still need answered‐ any strike your fancy? • ASDIN has a research expert to help with VA related topics‐ Did you know who the chairs that group? Prabir Roy-Chaudhury, MD, PhD Got a Topic? ASDIN Research Committee Mission • To identify research areas of interest to the membership which would likely have a significant impact on the practice of interventional nephrology. • To facilitate and advance the conduct of research activities by the membership in the above areas; especially in the context of collaborative studies. • To disseminate important basic science, translational and clinical research findings of relevance to interventional nephrology, within the membership So Now What? • Collaborate with your other team members • Put the idea down on paper and draft out the issues, what do you think needs investigated, and how will you evaluate the results? • Get help from a research mentor that has lead a research project before • Ask your administration for help‐ they like to help people that see and issue and want to find a better solution ASDIN 8th Annual Scientific Meeting So What Will You Need to Get It Done? • Get help to research the topic for prior studies. Learn what they do wrong and avoid that!!! • You may need corporate assistance because simple things like access to medical libraries can be restricted and on‐line article copies can be very expensive Resource: www.joannabriggs.edu.au • Get help to write a good protocol draft to establish a projected budget IRB Approval • Studies involving animals and human subjects required approval by an Institutional Review Board or IRB • You will need to get patient consent for research involving their care • You will need support by your employer to get this approvals Results • Your study results will need to be submitted for publication – ASDIN journal is a great place! • Your results could change practice!!! • You can improve the care and not just do things the same way over and over again! So What Will You Need to Get It Done? • Funding for your research? • Ask!!!!! Professional societies (ASDIN/ANNA/NFK) Your company Industry that makes the product Conduct the Study • Too many steps to detail out and scare you from starting the process • You will need to get buy in and support from your entire team to conduct the study properly • It is worth the effort!
