In a large pediatric teaching hospital located in the southwestern part of the United States, few nurses had participated in a formal program that taught the knowledge and skills required for the nurse to care for the patient receiving chemotherapy. In order to enhance the necessary clinical competency of the nursing staff, a Chemotherapy Certification Course was developed for this institution. In reviewing the literature there was minimal information on how to develop such a program. The purpose of this article is to describe the development of this course with the intent that it can serve as a guide in facilitating and implementing such a course in other institutions. As more hospitals adopt institutional certification as a form of continuing education in cancer nursing, perhaps the gap between knowledge and practice will decrease. The institutional certification course will be a significant step toward improving the level of practice of nurses caring for patients receiving chemotherapy. The goal of promoting professional competence will benefit the nurse, the institution, and patients and their families.
在美国西南部的一家大型儿科教学医院，很少有护士参加过正式培训项目，这些项目传授护士护理接受化疗患者所需的知识和技能。为提高护理人员的必要临床能力，该机构开发了一门化疗认证课程。在查阅文献时，关于如何开发这样一个项目的信息极少。本文旨在描述该课程的开发过程，希望它能为其他机构推广和实施此类课程提供指导。随着越来越多的医院采用机构认证作为癌症护理继续教育的一种形式，或许知识与实践之间的差距将会缩小。机构认证课程将是提高护理接受化疗患者的护士实践水平的重要一步。促进专业能力的目标将使护士、机构以及患者及其家属受益。
