 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overarching goal of this R25 proposal is to develop and implement a national educational curriculum in geriatric oncology for oncology nurses. There is an urgent need for this initiative because cancer is a disease associated with aging. The number of "baby boomers" age 65 and older is expected to double by the year 2030 leading to a projected 67% increase in cancer incidence in this age group. The Institute of Medicine highlights the current and projected future shortage of nurses with experience in geriatrics who will be needed to care for this growing population of older adults. Less than 1% of nurses and less than 3% of advanced practice nurses are certified in geriatrics. This proposal will fill this gap in knowledge through a multidisciplinary, interactive, targeted curriculum in geriatric oncology for competitively selected oncology nurses nationwide. It will culminate in teams of nursing participants developing their own plans to integrate geriatric oncology principles and practices into their home organizations. The specific aims of this application are: 1) To develop a comprehensive geriatric oncology curriculum for nurses, with input from top-level multidisciplinary faculty from around the country, which will advance nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and skills related to caring for older adults with cancer; 2) To implement this geriatri oncology curriculum with national workshops for competitively selected nurses nationwide; 3) To evaluate the effectiveness of a comprehensive, interactive geriatric oncology curriculum for nurses based on knowledge acquired from pre- to post-conference; 4) To evaluate the impact of a comprehensive geriatric oncology curriculum on the development of geriatric oncology nursing initiatives nationwide by measuring the progress and outcomes of workshop activities and changes initiated by the participants in their home settings; and 5) To disseminate the findings from these conferences. These aims will be achieved through four annual conferences (followed by monthly conference calls open to all participants) which will train a total of 400 competitively selected oncology nurses across the nation who will attend in teams (a manager, educator, and direct care provider) from their institution. This 21/2 day conference consists of a comprehensive yet targeted educational curriculum delivered by nationwide experts in geriatrics, oncology, and nursing education. Conference attendees will use this information and develop plans for integration of this knowledge into their own organizations. We will follow their progress at 6, 12, and 18 months post-conference. This proposal unites the fields of nursing, geriatrics, and oncology through the creation of an educational curriculum of geriatric principles geared to oncology nursing professionals who are caring for an aging oncology population with the ultimate goal of improving the knowledge of evidence- based care of older adults with cancer.

 描述（由应用程序提供）：该R25提案的总体目标是在肿瘤学护士的老年肿瘤学中开发和实施国家教育课程。由于癌症是与衰老有关的疾病，因此迫切需要该计划。 65岁及65岁以上的“婴儿潮一代”的数量预计到2030年将翻一番，导致该年龄段的癌症发病率增加67％。医学研究所强调了目前和预计的未来护士短缺，这些护士在老年人中需要照顾这一越来越多的老年人。不到1％的护士和不到3％的高级执业护士获得了老年医学认证。该建议将通过在全国范围内竞争性选择的肿瘤学护士的老年肿瘤学中的多学科，互动，有针对性的课程来了解这一空白。它将最终在护士参与者的团队中制定自己的计划，以将老年肿瘤学原理和实践整合到其家庭组织中。该应用程序的具体目的是：1）为护士开发全面的老年肿瘤学课程，并提供来自全国各地的顶级多学科教师的意见，这将促进护士的知识，与会者和与癌症老年人的照顾有关的技能； 2）在全国范围内为全国竞争选择的护士举办这项老年肿瘤学课程； 3）根据会议前到会议获得的知识，评估护士的全面，交互式老年肿瘤课程的有效性； 4）评估全面的老年肿瘤学课程对全国老年肿瘤护士倡议发展的影响，通过衡量参与者在家庭环境中发起的研讨会活动的进步和结果； 5）从这些会议中传播发现。这些目标将通过四次年度会议（接着是向所有参与者开放的每月电话会议）实现 全国各地选定的肿瘤护士将参加机构的团队（经理，教育工作者和直接护理提供者）。这个21/2天的会议由全国老年医学，肿瘤学和护士教育专家提供的全面但有针对性的教育课程组成。会议参与者将使用此信息并制定计划将这些知识集成到自己的组织中。我们将在6、12的进展中遵循他们的进步 会议后18个月。该提议通过创建针对肿瘤学护士专业人士的老年人原则的教育课程，将护士，老年医学和肿瘤学领域结合在一起，这些教育课程旨在改善老年人的良性肿瘤学人群的衰老肿瘤学人群。
