A scoping exercise to define the preferred competencies of professionals involved in teenage and young adult (TYA) cancer care. Data were generated during two workshops with health professionals. In groups, they ranked skills, knowledge and attitudes, previously identified through a literature search, onto a diamond template. Data were also used from an education day with TYA professionals, who generated lists of key skills, knowledge and attitudes. Individually, professionals then selected the top five areas of competence to care for young people with cancer. The workshops generated three diamonds, which exhibited agreement of 13 principle skills, knowledge and attitudes. The top two being: 'expertise in treating paediatric and adult cancers' and 'understanding cancer'. The data from the education day suggested communication, technical knowledge and teamwork as being core role features for professionals who care for young people with cancer. Integration of both datasets; one derived inductively, the other deductively provides a comprehensive outline of core skills health professionals require to be proficient in young people's cancer care. These results will form the basis of future discussion around workforce strategies and inform a Delphi survey.
一项范围界定工作，旨在确定参与青少年和年轻成人（TYA）癌症护理的专业人员的首选能力。数据是在与卫生专业人员进行的两次研讨会中生成的。他们在小组中，根据先前通过文献检索确定的技能、知识和态度，将这些技能、知识和态度排列在钻石模板上。还使用了 TYA 专业人员教育日的数据，他们列出了关键技能、知识和态度的清单。专业人员随后单独选择了前五个护理癌症青少年的能力领域。研讨会生成了三个钻石，展示了 13 项主要技能、知识和态度的一致性。排在前两位的是：“治疗儿科和成人癌症的专业知识”和“了解癌症”。教育日的数据表明，沟通、技术知识和团队合作是护理癌症青少年的专业人员的核心角色特征。综合两个数据集；一个是归纳法得出的，另一个是演绎法得出的，为卫生专业人员提供了一个全面的概述，了解他们需要精通青少年癌症护理的核心技能。这些结果将成为未来劳动力战略讨论的基础，并为 Delphi 调查提供信息。
