Multimedia Cancer Care Giving Training for Families

描述：伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校影响有限责任公司团队提议开发和测试一种交互式多媒体癌症护理培训软件产品。这个多学科团队结合了交互式多媒体健康教育产品概念化和评估方面的学术经验，并拥有一个成功的150名员工的电子商务解决方案提供商。普罗维纳盟约卫生系统通过其癌症治疗中心和家庭保健服务为癌症患者及其家属提供服务。拟议的项目解决了一个广泛承认但通常没有解决的需要，即培训家庭成员在照顾癌症亲属的过程中更有能力或自我效能。癌症治疗转向门诊，加上住院时间缩短，使得家庭成员承担了越来越多的日常家庭护理责任。该软件的培训部分旨在提高护理人员的自我效能或对日常生活活动（ADLs）和人际沟通的具体护理表现的掌握。在对护理人员/患者的需求进行评估之前，将播放视频片段，描述照顾adl的正确@和不正确@角色模型以及沟通方法。技能建设培训需求将根据护理人员对特定护理任务的自我效能感的评分进行优先排序，这取决于患者的状态和患者需要的帮助类型。一个简短的评估将提供软件用户对性能的反馈。技能培养模块的范围和内容风格将部分由关于护理的印刷和电子指南以及普罗维纳公约癌症治疗中心的焦点小组确定。影响有限责任公司将与大学和卫生系统团队合作，评估产品是否符合网络可访问性标准，对护理人员自我效能的短期影响以及原型产品的营销。预计该软件可以进行调整，以满足需要护理协助的广大个人的需要。

DESCRIPTION: A University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign-Influence LLC team propose to develop and test an interactive multimedia cancer caregiving training software product for families. The multidisciplinary team combines academic experience in the conceptualization and assessment of interactive multimedia health education products with a successful 150 employee e-business solutions provider. Provena Covenant health system provides access to cancer patients and their families through their Cancer Treatment Center and home health services. The proposed project addresses a widely recognized but generally not addressed need for training family members to be more competent or self efficacious in the caregiving process for a relative with cancer. Shifts in cancer treatment to outpatient settings combined with shortened in-patient stays place growing responsibility on family members for day-to-day care at home. The training component of the software would aim at enhancing caregiver=s self efficacy or mastery of performance of specific care giving for Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and interpersonal communication. Video vignettes portraying the Acorrect@ and Aincorrect@ role modeling of caregiving for ADLs and communication methods would be preceded by an assessment of caregiver/patient needs. Skill building training needs would be prioritized according to caregiver's rating of their own self efficacy for specific caregiving tasks as determined by patient status and the type of help the patient requires. A brief evaluation would provide the software user feedback on performance. The scope and style of content for skill building modules would be defined in part by print and electronic guidelines on caregiving and by focus groups from Provena Covenant's Cancer Treatment Center. Influence LLC will work with the University and health systems team on evaluation of the products compliance with Web accessibility standards, short term impact with caregiver's self efficacy and marketing of the prototype product. It is anticipated that the software could be adapted to address the needs of a wide audience of individuals requiring assistance with caregiving.
