Like Frying Multiple Eggs in One Pan: a Qualitative Study Exploring the Understanding of Inter-speciality Training in Cancer Care
AbstractH
igh-quality cancer care is a key priority worldwide. Caring for people affected by cancer requires a range of specific knowledge, skills and experience to deliver the complex care regimens both within the hospital and within the community environment. In June 2022, the European Cancer Organisation along with 33 European cancer societies began working together to develop a curriculum for inter-speciality training for healthcare professionals across Europe. As part of the project, this research consisted of a qualitative survey distributed to the European Union societies via email. The aim of this paper is to di...

Project ECHO for Cancer Care: a Scoping Review of Provider Outcome Evaluations
AbstractThe Project ECHO model of telementoring has been used for the past 10 years to expand access to specialized cancer care. This scoping review identifies evidence for the model’s ability to improve provider outcomes, synthesizing findings from existing studies within Moore et al.’s (2009) framework for continuing medical education outcomes. We search two large res earch databases and a collection maintained by Project ECHO staff for articles that focus on cancer ECHO programs, involve primary data collection, and were published between December 1, 2016, and November 30, 2021. We identified 25 articles for inclu...

Development and Application of a Quality Assessment Tool for Oncological Question Prompt Lists
AbstractNo specific quality criteria yet exist for question prompt lists (QPLs), so this study aims to develop a quality assessment tool to then use for an evaluation of online-available QPLs. An online search was conducted for German-language QPLs using different internet search engines and terms. A wide range of existing quality criteria for patient information was adapted to the field of QPLs to build an assessment tool and evaluate all identified QPLs by four independent raters. Al l new quality criteria were applicable to QPLs. The overall quality of 46 oncological QPLs was low, though the tool’s subcategories we...

Using a Nominal Group Technique to Develop a Science Communication Curriculum for Health Professionals and Clinical Researchers
AbstractEffective science communication is
fundamental to closing the gap from research and innovation to clinical implementation. Existing paradigms of science communication are often challenged by a lack of skill and engagement, particularly from those who progress the science. Currently, a standardized curriculum on science communication, with global applicability, does not exist. The purpose of this project is to address the gap in training by health professionals and clinical researchers through the development of a globally relevant curriculum for science communication. The nominal group technique (NGT) was used ...

Assessing Spanish Health Literacy and Cervical Cancer Knowledge, Attitudes, and Behaviors in a Student-Run Free Clinic
AbstractWhile the incidence of cervical cancer continues to decrease, there is a significant discrepancy in incidence rates and screening behaviors among Hispanic and non-Hispanic white patients in the USA. This project examines the relationship between Spanish health literacy and cervical cancer screening knowledge, attitudes, and practices among native Spanish-speaking patients at risk for cervical cancer at the USF BRIDGE Healthcare Clinic, a student-run free clinic in Tampa, FL. Spanish-speaking patients ≥21 years (n = 34) participated in a quality improvement project that included an assessment of Spanish health lit...

Disparities in Cervical Cancer Screening by Disability Types: a Systematic Review
AbstractPrevious studies showed that the receipt of cervical cancer screening among women with disabilities is low. Some disparities may also exist within the subpopulation of women with disabilities. This systematic review synthesized the current literature on the receipt of cervical cancer screening by disability type. PubMed, ProQuest, EBSCO, PsycINFO, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar searches were performed to identify studies between April 2012 and January 2022. A total of ten studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in this review. All studies employed a cross-sectional approach (n = 10) and most used mult...

Listening to Patient and Caregiver Voices to Anchor Global Cancer Control
AbstractThe experiences of those living with illness and those who care for them are central to disease control and prevention efforts. The history of public health is full of reminders of when consultations with patients and families helped develop meaningful interventions that were ultimately adopted by communities. Global cancer control, on the other hand, seems to increasingly take place in tertiary hospitals and centers where care is sought often at a late stage of cancer. This essay draws on personal experiences of the authors in working with cancer survivors in southern India and discusses how listening to patient a...
