DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Nurses increasingly encounter cancer patients interested in supplementing conventional treatments with complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). The Cancer CAM continuing education program will offer nurses and health educators convenient and accessible continuing education opportunities related to understanding, evaluating and communication about CAM in their practice. Grounded in the tenets of adult education, Cancer CAM will use a web-based environment to improve nurses and health educators knowledge and self-efficacy regarding communicating about CAM to both patients and physicians. Phase I prototype testing indicated that such a program can make significant changes in these factors. In Phase II the lessons learned in the Phase I feasibility demonstration will be used to revise the prototype user interface and fine-tune the presentation approach. HealthMark will develop a complete program consisting of 12 modules, each addressing a specific issue regarding cancer and CAM. The program will be submitted for nursing continuing education hours and CHES credits, then tested with nurses and health educators to determine self-reported changes in knowledge, self-efficacy and practice after one month of access to the program.

描述(由申请人提供)：护士越来越多地遇到癌症患者对补充和替代医学(CAM)补充传统治疗感兴趣。癌症CAM继续教育计划将为护士和健康教育工作者提供方便和可获得的继续教育机会，涉及他们在实践中对CAM的了解、评估和交流。根据成人教育的原则，癌症CAM将利用一个基于网络的环境来提高护士和健康教育工作者在向患者和医生传达关于CAM的知识和自我效能方面的能力。第一阶段原型测试表明，这样的方案可以在这些因素上做出显着改变。在第二阶段，将利用在第一阶段可行性演示中学到的经验教训来修订原型用户界面和微调演示方法。Healthmark将开发一个由12个模块组成的完整计划，每个模块解决一个关于癌症和CAM的特定问题。该计划将提交护理继续教育学时和CHES学分，然后与护士和健康教育工作者进行测试，以确定在进入该计划一个月后在知识、自我效能和实践方面的自我报告变化。
