Nurses play a crucial role in prevention trials in several ways:
- Recruitment and education: Nurses often help in recruiting participants for trials and educating them about the study's purpose, procedures, and potential benefits and risks. - Data collection and monitoring: Nurses collect data, monitor participants' health, and ensure adherence to the trial protocol. - Implementing interventions: Nurses may administer preventive interventions, such as vaccines or educational programs, as part of the trial. - Follow-up and support: Nurses provide ongoing support and follow-up care to participants, ensuring that any adverse effects are promptly addressed.
