Abstract
Objective To investigate the duty and role of study nurse in large-scale biobank. Methods Formulating the duty of study nurse according to the situation of our department, we compared the effectiveness and efficiency of biobank before and after the study nurse post setting up. Results The sample loss rate and lost follow-up rate decreased year by year since the establishment of study nurses from 4% and 12% down to 1.5% and 8% respectively. The accuracy rate and integrity of the information input increased from 85%, 89% to 97% and 98% respectively. The data above were statistically significant by trend chi-square test (P<0.05) . Conclusions Study nurses can undertake various works in large-scale biobank; however, a standard operating procedure and an evaluation system for biobank study nurses have not a standard which need to be further discussed.
