The number of cancer survivors is expected to rise to up to 20 million by 2026. It is of utmost importance that nurses who provide survivorship care enhance their knowledge and skills to meet the needs of cancer survivors. The purpose of this project is to propose a pilot evidence-based educational project to incorporate the concept and framework of the survivorship care plan for nursing students. We evaluated feedback from nursing students for their knowledge and attitude on cancer survivorship care. A pilot educational project was given to 38 undergraduate students and 17 graduate students. Pre- and post-test feedback were collected from these students. Content analysis was used to analyze the data. At least 60% of both undergraduate and graduate nursing students had experience in either adult or pediatric oncology units. Only 11% of undergraduate and 18% of graduate students reported awareness of survivorship care plans. However, all of the students believed the survivorship care plan will be helpful for cancer patients. We recommend that it is imperative to incorporate the concept of cancer survivorship in the early stage of nursing education.
预计到 2026 年，癌症幸存者的人数将增加到 2000 万。至关重要的是，提供生存护理的护士要增强知识和技能，以满足癌症幸存者的需求。本项目旨在提出一个试点循证教育项目，将生存护理计划的概念和框架纳入护理学生的课程中。我们评估了护理学生对癌症生存护理的知识和态度的反馈。对 38 名本科生和 17 名研究生进行了试点教育项目。从这些学生那里收集了预测试和后测试的反馈。我们使用内容分析法来分析数据。至少有 60%的本科和研究生护理学生在成人或儿科肿瘤病房有过工作经验。只有 11%的本科生和 18%的研究生报告说了解生存护理计划。然而，所有的学生都认为生存护理计划对癌症患者会有帮助。我们建议，将癌症生存的概念纳入护理教育的早期阶段至关重要。
