Integrating Palliative Oncology Care into Doctor of Nursing Practice Programs

描述(申请人提供)：护理实践博士(DNP)是一个新的护理专业的终极实习博士学位。2004年，全美四所护理学院开始提供DNP学位，招收了170名学生。今天，全国有150多所大学提供这种以实践为重点的博士学位，目前有7037名学生注册。在……里面 2010年，医学研究所(IOM)和罗伯特·伍德·约翰逊基金会(RWJF)发表了题为《护理的未来：引领变革，促进健康》的报告，鼓励护士接受良好培训，成为跨学科团队中的关键合作伙伴。受过高等教育的护士比以往任何时候都有机会帮助改变国家的医疗保健系统，特别是在肿瘤学领域。DNPs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学位的人有了一个独特的机会来展示他们领导、改变和管理护理系统的能力，并通过教育和临床实践改变这种护理。这项建议的主要目的有两个：1)培养DNP计划教师，将循证姑息治疗内容纳入DNP计划课程；2)使DNP毕业生在肿瘤学中提供循证姑息治疗。这一培训计划将为DNP的教职员工提供工具，以教育DNP的学生进行姑息治疗，特别是在领导、倡导、沟通、卫生政策、合作和咨询方面。该计划还将提供内容，支持DNP毕业生将高质量的姑息治疗融入临床实践。主要目标将通过为美国各地的DNP教育工作者和大学毕业生举办的讲习班来实现。工作坊参加者将接受授课和体验式培训，并获得广泛的书面资料支持，并将所有书面和幻灯片材料制成光盘，以促进临终关怀内容的教学。更多的强化和传播方法和广泛的评估将为这些国家警察教育工作者在项目期后的继续教育提供基础，并将对国家警察毕业生进行密集的后续行动。DNP教育工作者和毕业生将被期望将姑息治疗内容纳入他们的课程和临床实践，这将影响患者护理的质量。这一培训计划建立在调查人员之前针对护理的类似国家研讨会的经验基础上。这个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).
