Training nurses to improve hypertension care and reduce disparities
Translational Research and Implementation Science for Nurses (TRAIN) Program 2.0
This program is designed to help nursing students learn how to better manage high blood pressure and improve care for patients, especially those from different racial and ethnic backgrounds, by giving them hands-on experience with experienced mentors over a 12-week summer course.

What this research studies
This program focuses on enhancing the skills of Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) students to effectively manage hypertension and improve healthcare delivery. It offers a 12-week summer curriculum that pairs students with mentors in clinical settings, allowing them to gain hands-on experience in translational research and implementation science. The program specifically targets the reduction of racial and ethnic disparities in hypertension outcomes by preparing nurses to translate effective interventions into practice. Participants will engage in projects relevant to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's mission.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are DNP students from diverse backgrounds who are motivated to improve hypertension care.
Not a fit: Patients who are not involved in nursing education or do not have access to DNP programs may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved hypertension management and reduced health disparities for patients in diverse communities.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown success in training healthcare professionals to implement effective interventions, making this approach promising.
