在美国，越来越多的癌症治疗后幸存者。癌症幸存者可能有各种各样的护理需求，医疗保健专业人员必须准备好满足这些需求。美国癌症协会（ACS）和乔治华盛顿大学（GW）癌症中心开发了初级保健提供者癌症生存电子学习系列（电子学习系列），以满足医疗保健专业人员对癌症生存培训和教育的需求，重点是初级保健。GW癌症中心分析了来自1341名学习者的评估数据，这些学习者在2013年4月15日至2017年12月31日期间自愿完成了一个模块的预评估和后评估，以评估在五点Likert量表上自评信心的差异，以满足学习目标。描述性统计表征样品和配对样品t检验用于评估从治疗前到治疗后的任何统计学显著差异（p < 0.05）。大多数学生是护士（75.19%），大多数学生在肿瘤学（74.68%）工作，其次是初级保健（11.60%）。在预评估时，平均自信评分最低的模块为3.16（SD = 0.81），最高为3.60（SD = 0.73）。在评估后，自信心评分的模块平均值范围为4.08（SD = 0.46）至4.26（SD = 0.56）。所有差异均具有统计学显著性（p < 0.0001）。结果突出了卫生保健专业人员对癌症生存护理和继续教育的必要性的信心差距。初级保健提供者还需要更多地采用电子学习系列。结果表明，电子学习系列是一个有效的教育工具，增加学习者的信心，提供癌症生存护理。
There is a growing number of post-treatment cancer survivors in the USA. Cancer survivors can have a variety of care needs and health care professionals must be prepared to meet these needs. The American Cancer Society (ACS) and the George Washington University (GW) Cancer Center developed The Cancer Survivorship E-Learning Series for Primary Care Providers (E-Learning Series) to address the need for cancer survivorship training and education among health care professionals with a focus on primary care. The GW Cancer Center analyzed evaluation data from 1341 learners who voluntarily completed a module pre- and post-assessment between April 15, 2013, and December 31, 2017, to assess differences in self-rated confidence, on a five-point Likert scale, to meet learning objectives. Descriptive statistics characterize the sample and paired samples t tests were used to assess any statistically significant differences from pre to post (p < 0.05). Most learners were nurses (75.19%) and a majority of learners worked in oncology (74.68%) followed by primary care (11.60%). At pre-assessment, the module with the lowest mean self-confidence rating was 3.16 (SD = 0.81) and the highest was 3.60 (SD = 0.73). At post-assessment, module means in self-confidence rating ranged from 4.08 (SD = 0.46) to 4.26 (SD = 0.56). All differences were statistically significant (p < 0.0001). Results highlight gaps in confidence among health care professionals regarding cancer survivorship care and the need for continuing education. There is also a need for additional uptake of the E-Learning Series among primary care providers. Results suggest that the E-Learning Series is an effective educational tool that increases learners' confidence in providing cancer survivorship care.
