To explore the application of career planning combined with layered training mode in management of clinical research nurses(CRN)and its effect evaluation.

100 CRNs from 8 tertiary hospitals in Shanxi province were randomly enrolled and divided into an intervention group and a control group. Both groups participated in training and meetings organized by drug research institutions. On this basis, the intervention group was added with a management method combining career planning guidance and layered training for 10 months. Before and after the intervention, career status questionnaire was used to evaluate the career status of the two groups of CRNs.

Before the intervention, the total scores of CRN career evaluation in the two groups were(66.64 ± 12.71)and(66.68 ± 12.88), respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05). The score of career evaluation in the intervention group was(79.94 ± 12.26)points after intervention, which was significantly higher than that before intervention(66.64 ± 12.71)points; the score of career evaluation in the intervention group was also higher than that in the control group after the intervention; the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). After the intervention, the CRN career evaluation scores of the junior and senior seniority were higher than those of the middle seniority(P<0.05).

Career planning combined with layered training mode can play a positive role in CRN management. Especially, it has a more significant impact on the career status of CRNs of junior and senior seniority.
