National Survey of Physician Attitudes Regarding the Care of Cancer Survivors --

全国医生对癌症幸存者护理态度调查（SPARCCS）的目的是确定初级保健和肿瘤专科医生对成年癌症幸存者治疗后随访护理的看法、知识和做法。这可以帮助确定机会，以改善癌症幸存者和医生谁提供他们的医疗保健服务的护理经验。调查的主要理由是缺乏关于一般社区临床实践中生存护理的信息。开展这项调查将有助于提高对生存护理的理解：1)监测和评估医生的癌症控制知识、态度和实践；加强对其他癌症幸存者研究项目（如癌症护理结果研究和监测联盟（CanCORS）、癌症研究网络（CRN））收集的数据的理解；并监测在实现与改善癌症幸存者护理质量有关的NCI战略目标方面取得的进展。这项全国性的调查将获得有关医生对成人癌症的后续生存护理的知识、态度、建议和实践的最新全国性数据。SPARCCS的目标样本量包括1100名初级保健医生（定义为家庭医生、内科医生和妇产科医生）和1100名内科肿瘤学家（也包括具有血液系统恶性肿瘤治疗证书的医生）。这些数据将支持并进一步推动国家癌症研究所监测和评估提供者的癌症控制知识、态度和做法及其对人口健康的影响；加强对正在进行的、由国家信息中心支持的全国一般人口调查工作所收集的数据的了解；并能够监测实现与提供者相关的2010年健康人计划和其他主要癌症控制目标的进展情况。

The purpose of the national survey of Physician Attitudes Regarding the Care of Cancer Survivors (SPARCCS) is to identify perceptions, knowledge, and practices of primary care and oncology specialist physicians with respect to post-treatment follow-up care of adult cancer survivors. This can help identify opportunities to improve the care delivery experiences for both cancer survivors and the physicians who provide their health care services. The main rationale for the survey is the lack of information about survivorship care in general community clinical practice. Undertaking this survey will help advance the understanding of survivorship care by: 1) monitoring and evaluating physicians' cancer control knowledge, attitudes, and practices; enhancing the understanding of data collected in other research projects on cancer survivors such as the Cancer Care Outcomes Research and Surveillance Consortium (CanCORS), the Cancer Research Network (CRN); and monitoring the progress being made toward achieving NCI strategic goals pertaining to the improvement of the quality of care for cancer survivors. The national survey will obtain current, national data on physicians' knowledge, attitudes, recommendations, and practices related to follow up survivorship care for adult cancer. The target sample size for SPARCCS includes 1,100 primary care doctors, defined as family practitioners, internists, and OB/GYNs, and 1,100 medical oncologists, which also includes physicians with certification in treatment of hematological malignancies. These data will support and further NCI work in monitoring and evaluating providers' cancer control knowledge, attitudes, and practices and their impact on population health; enhance understanding of data collected in ongoing, NCI-supported national survey efforts of the general population; and enable monitoring of progress toward achieving provider-related Healthy People 2010 and other major cancer control goals.
