    Proposed Collection: Title: A National Survey of Nurse Coaches,

    Need and Use of Information Collection: The purpose of this survey 
is to describe the role of Certified Nurse Coaches in order to gain 
insight into their clinical practice including: The settings in which 
they work, the types of clients/health conditions they see, the types 
of client records maintained and outcomes followed, as well as the 
personal benefits experienced by nurse coaches as a result of becoming 
a nurse coach. It provides information regarding two areas of interest 
to the CC Department of Nursing Research and Translational Science: The 
collection of patient-reported outcomes in novel clinical practice 
areas and the physical and psychosocial benefits of an intervention in 
nurses, a professional caregiver population. This study will provide 
preliminary data and guidance in: 1. Developing recommendations for 
collecting outcomes to longitudinally assess the effectiveness nurse 
coaching, and 2. developing an intervention to improve patient care 
targeting the nursing staff at the NIH Clinical Center.
    OMB approval is requested for 1 year. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 104.
