CANCER CAM: WEB-BASED NURSING EDUCATION ON CAM

描述：护士越来越多地遇到癌症患者，他们对补充和替代医学(CAM)补充传统治疗感兴趣。癌症CAMTM网站将为护士在实践中了解、评估和交流CAM提供方便和可接近的继续教育机会。基于成人教育的原则，癌症CAMTM将使用一个基于网络的环境来提高护士在工作场所交流关于CAM的知识、沟通技能和自我效能。在第一阶段，我们将确定提供信息的创造性方法，开发提供基于网络的CE的电子基础设施，开发五个与CAM相关的CE单元中的第一个，测试原型，并完成将在第二阶段开发的完整癌症CAM TM网站的内容规范。

DESCRIPTION: Nurses increasingly encounter cancer patients interested in supplementing conventional treatments with complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). The Cancer CAMTM web site will offer nurses convenient and accessible continuing education opportunities related to understanding, evaluating and communicating about CAM in their practice. Grounded in the tenets of adult education, Cancer CAMTM will use a web-based environment to improve nurses knowledge, communication skills, and self-efficacy regarding communicating about CAM in the workplace. In Phase I we will identify creative approaches to presenting information, develop the electronic infrastructure for offering web-based CE, develop the first of five CAM-related CE units, test the prototype and complete the content specifications for the full Cancer CAM TM web site, to be developed in Phase II.
