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后续护理的看法、知识和做法。这可以帮助确定改善癌症幸存者和提供医疗保健服务的医生的护理交付体验的机会。这项调查的主要理由是在一般社区临床实践中缺乏关于生存护理的信息。开展这项调查将有助于通过以下方式促进对生存护理的了解：1)监测和评估医生的癌症控制知识、态度和做法；增进对其他癌症幸存者研究项目中收集的数据的了解，如癌症护理结果研究和监测联盟(CanCORS)、癌症研究网络(CRN)；以及监测在实现NCI有关提高癌症幸存者护理质量的战略目标方面取得的进展。这项全国性调查将获得有关医生关于成人癌症后续生存护理的知识、态度、建议和做法的最新全国数据。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，以及1100名内科肿瘤学家，其中还包括拥有血液恶性肿瘤治疗认证的医生。这些数据将支持和进一步支持NCI在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方面的工作；加强对NCI支持的持续的全国普通人口调查工作中收集的数据的理解；并能够监测实现与提供者相关的健康人2010年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.
