Integrating Palliative Oncology Care into Doctor of Nursing Practice Programs

描述（由申请人提供）：护理实践博士（DNP）是一个新的终端实践护理博士学位。2004年，美国四所护理学院开始提供DNP学位，共有170名学生入学。今天，全国有150多所大学提供这种以实践为中心的博士学位，目前有7，037名学生入学。在 2010年，医学研究所（IOM）和罗伯特·伍德约翰逊基金会（RWJF）的报告，护理的未来：引领变革，促进健康，鼓励护士接受良好的培训，并成为跨学科团队的关键合作伙伴。受过高等教育的护士比以往任何时候都有机会帮助改造国家的医疗保健系统，特别是在肿瘤竞技场。DNP可以在评估，管理和指导癌症患者的护理方面发挥关键作用，特别是在姑息治疗领域。随着这个新的护理博士学位的发展，那些拥有DNP学位的人有一个独特的机会来展示他们领导，改变，管理护理系统的能力，并通过教育和临床实践来改变这种护理。 该提案的主要目的有两个：1）准备DNP计划教师将循证姑息治疗内容整合到DNP计划课程中; 2）准备DNP毕业生在肿瘤学中提供循证姑息治疗。该培训计划将为DNP教师提供工具，以教育DNP学生在姑息治疗，特别是在领导，宣传，沟通，卫生政策，协作和咨询的竞技场。该计划还将提供内容，以支持DNP毕业生将优质姑息治疗融入临床实践。主要目标将通过为DNP教育工作者和来自美国各地学院和大学的毕业生举办讲习班来实现。讲习班的参与者将接受教学和体验培训，并得到广泛的书面资源的支持，所有书面和幻灯片材料的光盘，以促进姑息治疗内容的教学。额外的强化和传播方法以及广泛的评估将为这些DNP教育者在项目期后的继续教育提供基础，并将对DNP毕业生进行密集的后续工作。DNP教育工作者和毕业生将有望将姑息治疗内容纳入他们的课程和临床实践，这将影响病人护理的质量。这项培训计划建立在调查人员以前参加针对护理的类似国家讲习班的经验基础上。该项目也是研究人员和美国护理学院协会（AACN）之间成功的教育合作的延续。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) is a new terminal practice doctorate degree for nursing. In 2004, four schools of nursing across the U.S. began offering the DNP degree, with 170 students enrolled. Today, more than 150 universities across the nation offer this practice-focused doctorate, with 7,037 students currently enrolled. In 2010, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) report, The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health, encouraged nurses to be well trained and to be a key partner in the interdisciplinary team. Nurses with advanced education have opportunities, more than ever before, to assist in transforming the nation's health care system, especially in the oncology arena. DNPs can play a key role in assessing, managing, and directing the care of people with cancer, especially in the realm of palliative care. With the development of this new doctorate in nursing, those with a DNP degree have a unique opportunity to showcase their ability to lead, to change, to manage systems of care and to transform this care through education and clinical practice. The primary aims of this proposal are twofold: 1) to prepare DNP program faculty to integrate evidence- based palliative care content into DNP program curricula; and 2) to prepare DNP graduates in providing evidence-based palliative care in oncology. This training program will provide tools for DNP faculty to educate DNP students in palliative care, especially in the arena of leadership, advocacy, communication, health policy, collaboration and consultation. The program will also provide content to support DNP graduates to integrate quality palliative care into clinical practice. The primary aims will be achieved through workshops for DNP educators and graduates from colleges and universities throughout the United States. Workshop participants will receive didactic and experiential training, supported by extensive written resources with all written and slide materials on CD-ROM to facilitate teaching of palliative care content. Additional reinforcement and dissemination methods and extensive evaluation will provide a basis for the continuing education of these DNP educators beyond the project period, and intensive follow-up with DNP graduates will be undertaken. DNP educators and graduates will be expected to incorporate palliative care content into their curricula and clinical practice, which will impact te quality of patient care. This training program builds on the investigators' previous experience with similar national workshops targeting nursing. This project is also a continuation of the successful educational collaborations between the investigators and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN).
