The global incidence of cancer in young adults aged 18 to 39 has risen significantly, presenting unique challenges that permeate many aspects of their lives, from education to careers and finances. Despite expressing a desire for psychological support, many young adults are reluctant to share their concerns with nurses. As a result, these young adults may feel that their unique experience is not properly acknowledged and that their complex needs are not satisfied.
This project aims to share the experience of developing an e-learning training for continuous nursing education, focusing on enhancing nurses' awareness, knowledge, and support for young adults with hematological cancer through a collaborative approach.
Utilizing verbatim data from co-design workshops, literature reviews, and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada (LLSC) podcasts and resources, a multidisciplinary team developed three modules on understanding young adults, exploring psychosocial challenges, and providing effective support. Pedagogical approaches, inspired by Adult Learning Theory, were combined for a comprehensive and engaging learning experience.
The collaborative e-learning initiative provides a tailored educational experience for nurses that addresses young adults' unique needs and challenges. The program's innovation consists of collaboration with patient-partners and community organizations to design, develop and evaluate its content and its structure. The preliminary evaluation highlights the program's strong potential to enhance nurses' awareness in addressing the unique psychosocial needs of young adults.
18至39岁的年轻成年人中癌症的全球发病率显著上升，带来了诸多独特挑战，这些挑战渗透到他们生活的许多方面，从教育到职业和财务。尽管许多年轻成年人表示渴望获得心理支持，但他们却不愿与护士分享自己的担忧。因此，这些年轻成年人可能会觉得他们独特的经历没有得到应有的认可，他们复杂的需求也没有得到满足。
本项目旨在分享开发一个用于持续护理教育的电子学习培训的经验，重点是通过合作方法提高护士对血液癌症年轻成年人的认识、知识和支持。
利用来自共同设计研讨会、文献综述以及加拿大白血病与淋巴瘤协会（LLSC）播客和资源的逐字数据，一个多学科团队开发了三个模块，分别是了解年轻成年人、探索心理社会挑战以及提供有效支持。受成人学习理论启发的教学方法相结合，以提供全面且引人入胜的学习体验。
这项合作式电子学习倡议为护士提供了量身定制的教育体验，满足了年轻成年人的独特需求和挑战。该项目的创新之处在于与患者合作伙伴和社区组织合作，设计、开发和评估其内容与结构。初步评估突出了该项目在提高护士对年轻成年人独特心理社会需求的认识方面的强大潜力。
