DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The nation is facing a shortage of cancer care providers. Nurse practitioners have established evidence of cost-effectiveness, patient satisfaction and quality care outcomes in multiple care settings, prompting the rapid growth of these professionals in cancer care. Nurse practitioners without previous cancer care experience are entering oncology positions without any additional training or education, leaving susceptibility for poor patient outcomes and risk management vulnerabilities. Aims: To refine and conduct an electronic oncology educational program of up to 6 months for nurse practitioners in their first year of oncology practice paired with an onsite mentor. This project wll seek to monitor the impact of this curriculum on the knowledge, confidence, learning and supportive needs, as well as usage among both the participants and their mentors. In Year 1, the curriculum will be refined and readied for online dissemination. In Years 2 through 5, we will monitor the impact of the curriculum on participants' self and mentors' assessment of cancer knowledge and confidence in delivering cancer care, monitor the impact of the curriculum on the nurse practitioners' attention to patient reported outcomes, monitor the learning and supportive needs of the nurse practitioner and the onsite clinical mentor in the first months of oncology practice, evaluate the utilization of curricular materials by the oncology nurse practitioner and onsite clinical mentor, evaluate the acceptability of the content and delivery of the curriculum and evaluate long term advanced practice nursing activities from the nurse practitioner alumni. In Year 5, we will finalize the content of the Adult Cancer Care curriculum for sustained dissemination. Methods: This application, Adult Cancer Care: An Educational Program for Oncology Nurse Practitioners is a program of education for nurse practitioners in the first months of cancer care practice. It consists of four online modules: 1) essential introductory cancer content; 2) issues in quality and safety in cancer care; 3) comprehensive content regarding specific malignancies, and 4) role development for the oncology nurse practitioner. There will also be a corresponding guide for the identified local nurse practitioner or physician onsite clinical mentor with suggestions for content synthesis and clinical application of content. The online curriculum will be offered nationally to 100 nurse practitioners new to cancer care practice over a 39 month period. The online course can be completed in 4 to 6 months. Evaluation: The primary outcome is the nurse practitioner's perceived level of knowledge and confidence in the delivery of cancer care pre and post the oncology educational curriculum. The nurse practitioner's attention to patient reported outcomes will also be measured pre and post curriculum. Curriculum overall will be assessed by the nurse practitioners and onsite mentors. Implications: Following national evaluation, this program can be sustained as an electronic Continuing Nursing Education offering through the University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing.

描述(由申请者提供)：美国正面临癌症护理人员短缺的问题。护士从业者已经在多个护理环境中建立了成本效益、患者满意度和高质量护理结果的证据，促使这些癌症护理专业人员的快速增长。没有癌症护理经验的护士从业者在没有任何额外培训或教育的情况下进入肿瘤学职位，容易导致患者结局不佳和风险管理漏洞。目标：完善和进行长达6个月的电子肿瘤学教育计划的护士执业在他们的肿瘤学实践的第一年与现场导师配对。本项目旨在监测该课程对参与者及其导师的知识、信心、学习和支持需求以及使用情况的影响。在第一年，课程将得到完善，并准备好在网上传播。在第二至第五年，我们会监察课程对参加者自我和导师对癌症知识和提供癌症护理的信心的评估的影响，监察课程对护士从业员关注病人报告的结果的影响，监察护士从业员和现场临床导师在肿瘤科实习首个月的学习和支援需要，评估肿瘤科护士从业员和现场临床导师对课程材料的使用情况，评估课程内容和授课内容的可接受性，以及评估护士从业员校友的长期高级实习活动。在第五年，我们将完成成人癌症护理课程的内容，以便持续传播。方法：这一应用程序，成人癌症护理：肿瘤学护士从业人员的教育计划是一个针对癌症护理实践最初几个月的护士从业人员的教育计划。它由四个在线模块组成：1)癌症基本入门内容；2)癌症护理中的质量和安全问题；3)关于特定恶性肿瘤的全面内容；以及4)肿瘤学护士从业者的角色发展。还将为确定的当地护士从业者或医生现场临床导师提供相应的指南，并就内容合成和临床应用提出建议。在线课程将在全国范围内向100名新接触癌症护理实践的护士提供，为期39个月。在线课程可以在4到6个月内完成。评估：主要结果是护士从业者在肿瘤学教育课程之前和之后对癌症护理提供的知识和信心的感知水平。护士从业者对病人报告结果的关注也将在课程前和课程后进行衡量。整个课程将由护士实践者和现场导师进行评估。影响：经过国家评估后，这一计划可以通过匹兹堡大学护理学院作为电子继续护理教育课程而持续存在。
