Background Detecting, treating and monitoring anaemia has a functional, social and economic impact on patients’ quality of life and the health system, since inadequate monitoring can lead to more accident & emergency visits and hospitalizations. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact in the patient clinical outcomes of using haemoglobinometry to early detect anaemia in patients with chronic anaemia in primary care. Methods Randomized controlled trial Capillary haemoglobin will be measured using a haemoglobinometer on a monthly basis in the intervention group. In the control group, the protocol currently in force at the primary care centre will be followed and venous haemoglobin will be measured. Any cases of anaemia detected in either group will be referred to the transfusion circuit of the reference hospital. Discusion The results will shed light on the impact of the intervention on the volume of hospitalizations and accident & emergency (A&E) visits due to anaemia, as well as patients’ quality of life. Chronic and repeated bouts of anaemia are detected late, thus leading to decompensation in chronic diseases and, in turn, more A&E visits and hospitalizations. The intervention should improve these outcomes since treatment could be performed without delay. Improving response times would decrease decompensation in chronic diseases, as well as A&E visits and hospitalizations, and improve quality of life. The primary care nurse case manager will perform the intervention, which should improve existing fragmentation between different care levels. Trial registration NCT04757909. Registered 17 February 2021. Retrospectively registered.

“…In contrast to quantitative research designs, which use random or at least quasirandom sampling, qualitative research employs purposeful, nonprobability participant sampling strategies. “In purposeful sampling,” as a previous article in this series notes, “the researcher intentionally recruits participants based on population, exposure, experience, or outcome to obtain information-rich data relating to a phenomenon of interest.”12…”

Editor's note: This is the 11th article in a series on clinical research by nurses. The series is designed to give nurses the knowledge and skills they need to participate in research, step by step. Each column will present the concepts that underpin evidence-based practice—from research design to data interpretation. The articles will be accompanied by a podcast offering more insight and context from the authors. To see all the articles in the series, go to https://links.lww.com/AJN/A204.

“…As discussed earlier in this series, the researchers' ability to make valid statistical inferences is dependent on the degree to which the study population reflects the target population. 1 Let's return to the above example, where nurse researchers are exploring the relationship between LOS and depressive symptoms among cardiac patients. Suppose a colleague offers to share data with the researchers.…”
