CANCER COURSES FOR NURSES WORKING WITH MINORITY GROUPS

该项目旨在为降低癌症死亡率做出贡献， 少数民族人群通过实施5个2天癌症 预防/早期发现护士继续教育计划 和美国黑人一起工作 这个项目是一个延续。 肿瘤护理学会的成功工作 为解决少数群体的癌症问题而实施。 目标 是：（1）提供实习护士教学和模拟动手 经验集中在五个解剖部位， 美国黑人的发病率;（2）提供教学和小组过程 在规划和评估社区癌症的细节方面， 预防/早期发现方案，以护士与黑人 美国人;（3）提供机会，以审查工具，目前 用于评估与癌症相关的计划和测量结果 预防/早期检测干预措施，用于适当性 （4）为参与者提供机会， 与处理下列问题的国家机构和/或组织建立联系： 癌症问题在当地社区;（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/早期发现方案。 长期目标是：（1） 增加接受过癌症预防/早期治疗培训的护士人数 （2）增加准备从事护理工作的护士人数 与黑人癌症预防/早期发现有关的方案 （3）增加护士的数量准备报告（他们的 自己的）计划和试点研究结果，（4）增加护士人数 参与合作预防/早期发现工作，以及 (5)建立鉴定文书的专业人员网络 用于黑人群体。 参与者将练习 对癌症预防/早期发现感兴趣的护士， 参与和/或受雇于美国黑人的环境（N=200）。 分组和前测后测设计将用于回答所有 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.
