This study evaluated the impact of an educational workshop on nursing students' knowledge, attitudes, and personal practices regarding cancer prevention and early detection (CP&ED), as well as the effect that it had on their teaching of CP&ED recommendations. Four one-day workshops--which included lectures, small group discussions, and practice of early detection skills--were held in three cities in Minnesota. Students from baccalaureate, associate-degree, and practical nursing programs participated (N = 220). Preworkshop, postworkshop, and six-month follow-up surveys were used to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and self-practice of the participants, as well as their teaching of clients, family, friends, and peers. Data were analyzed with matched paired t-tests, chi-square, correlation, and analysis of variance. The postworkshop and six-month follow-up surveys showed improvement in the students' knowledge and attitudes; however, the only self-practice behaviors that changed within six months of the workshop were breast/testicular self-examinations. The results also showed that the students felt more confident and subsequently taught more clients, family, friends, and peers about the CP&ED recommendations. These findings indicate that educating students early in their careers may increase the number of people practicing CP&ED recommendations.
本研究评估了一场教育工作坊对护理专业学生在癌症预防与早期检测（CP&ED）方面的知识、态度和个人实践的影响，以及该工作坊对他们教授CP&ED建议的效果。在明尼苏达州的三个城市举办了四场为期一天的工作坊，内容包括讲座、小组讨论以及早期检测技能实践。来自学士学位、副学士学位和实用护理专业项目的学生参与其中（N = 220）。通过工作坊前、工作坊后以及六个月后的随访调查来评估参与者的知识、态度和自我实践情况，以及他们对客户、家人、朋友和同伴的教导情况。数据采用配对t检验、卡方检验、相关性分析和方差分析进行分析。工作坊后及六个月后的随访调查显示，学生的知识和态度有所改善；然而，在工作坊后的六个月内，唯一发生变化的自我实践行为是乳房/睾丸自我检查。结果还表明，学生们更有信心了，随后向更多的客户、家人、朋友和同伴传授了CP&ED建议。这些发现表明，在学生职业生涯早期对其进行教育可能会增加践行CP&ED建议的人数。
