This study reviews an initiative to educate providers on pediatric cancer survivor care and to establish a cancer survivor registry in a college health center.
PARTICIPANTS were University of Georgia (UGA) college health providers.
Providers attended lectures on survivor care and were encouraged to register on Cancer SurvivorLink. Changes in provider familiarity and practice were measured using baseline and follow-up surveys. A survivor registry was created using health entrance forms and medical records abstraction.
Twenty-four providers registered on SurvivorLink, and 16 completed both surveys. Familiarity with survivor care (p = .003) and a survivor health care plan (p = .016) increased. Likelihood to deliver survivor care increased (p = .01). UGA follows 95 survivors; 71 diagnosed at < 21 years. Among survivors diagnosed at < 21 years, 91% reported their diagnosis on entrance forms.
Through education and optimization of health informatics, college health centers can identify and provide survivor care to this medically vulnerable population.
本研究回顾了一项旨在对医疗服务提供者进行儿科癌症幸存者护理教育并在大学健康中心建立癌症幸存者登记处的倡议。
参与者为佐治亚大学(UGA)的大学健康服务提供者。
医疗服务提供者参加了关于幸存者护理的讲座,并被鼓励在癌症幸存者链接(Cancer SurvivorLink)上注册。使用基线调查和随访调查来衡量医疗服务提供者在熟悉程度和实践方面的变化。通过健康入学表格和病历摘要创建了一个幸存者登记处。
24名医疗服务提供者在幸存者链接上注册,16名完成了两项调查。对幸存者护理(p = .003)和幸存者医疗保健计划(p = .016)的熟悉程度有所提高。提供幸存者护理的可能性增加(p = .01)。UGA跟踪了95名幸存者;71名在21岁之前被诊断出患有癌症。在21岁之前被诊断出患有癌症的幸存者中,91%在入学表格上报告了他们的诊断情况。
通过教育和优化健康信息学,大学健康中心可以识别并为这一医疗弱势群体提供幸存者护理。
