CANCER COURSES FOR NURSES WORKING WITH MINORITY GROUPS

该项目旨在为降低#年的癌症死亡率做出贡献。 少数民族人群通过实施5个2天期癌症 预防/早期发现护士继续教育计划 与美国黑人一起工作。这个拟议的项目是一个续展项目 和提炼肿瘤护理学会的成功工作 为解决少数群体中的癌症问题而实施。目标 目的是：(1)为实习护士提供授课和模拟实践 经验集中在五个有较高癌症的解剖部位 美国黑人的发病率；(2)提供教学和小组过程 在规划和评估基于社区的癌症的细节方面 针对与Black工作的护士的预防/早期发现计划 美国人；(3)提供机会审查目前的工具 用于评估与癌症相关的项目和结果 预防/早期发现干预措施，以确保使用的适当性 与黑人客户合作；(4)为参与者提供机会 与国家机构和/或组织建立联系，以解决 在当地社区讨论癌症问题；(5)传播学术 关于黑人癌症预防和早期发现的报告 美国人；和，(6)评估癌症的有效性 预防/早期发现计划。长远目标是：(1) 增加接受癌症预防/早期培训的护士人数 检测；(2)增加准备从事的护士人数 与黑人癌症预防/早期发现相关的计划 社区；(3)增加准备报告的护士人数(她们 自己)方案和试点研究结果，(4)增加护士人数 参与协作预防/早期发现工作，以及 (5)建立检定仪器的专业人员网络 适用于黑人人群。参赛者将练习 对癌症预防/早期发现感兴趣的护士 参与和/或受雇于美国黑人环境(N=200)。 将使用分组和前测后测设计来回答所有问题 项目问题。

This project seeks to contribute to the reduction of cancer mortality in minority populations through the implementation of five 2-day cancer prevention/early detection continuing education programs for nurses working with Black Americans. This proposed project is a continuation and refinement of the successful work that the Oncology Nursing Society implemented to address cancer issues in minority populations. The aims are to: (1) provide practicing nurses didactic and simulated hands on experience focused on five anatomical sites which have a high cancer incidence rate in Black Americans; (2) provide didactic and group process in the specifics of planning and evaluating community based cancer prevention/early detection Programs to nurses working with Black Americans; (3) provide opportunities to scrutinize tools currently utilized to evaluate programs and measure outcomes related to cancer prevention/early detection interventions, for appropriateness for use with Black clients; (4) provide opportunities for participants to establish links with national agencies and/or organizations which address cancer issues in their local communities; (5) disseminate scholarly reports related to cancer prevention and early detection among Black Americans; and, (6) evaluate the effectiveness of a cancer prevention/early detection program. The long-term objectives are to: (1) increase the number of nurses trained in cancer prevention/early detection; (2) increase the number of nurses prepared to engage in programs related to cancer prevention/early detection in the Black community; (3) increase the number of nurses prepared to report (their own) program and pilot study findings, (4) increase the number of nurses participating in collaborative prevention/early detection efforts, and (5) establish a network of professionals who will validate instruments for use with Black populations. The participants will be practicing nurses interested in cancer prevention/early detection who are also involved and/or employed in settings with Black Americans (N=200). Split-group and pre-test post-test designs will be used to answer all project questions.
