Educational Intervention for Cancer Survivorship Care.

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The study aims to determine the feasibility and acceptability of an interdisciplinary educational intervention for nursing students to acquire the competence (knowledge, skill and attitude) to care for long-term cancer survivors and their families. The design is an exploratory randomized controlled trial Following the framework of the Medical Research Council, the method used is a multidisciplinary educational intervention consisting of a flipped classroom, a clinical simulation and a round table with a duration of ten hours. The variables to measure effectiveness were competence and its attributes: knowledge, skills and attitude. The variable to assess acceptability and feasibility was student satisfaction. Data were collected before and after the intervention.

Clinical Trial Description

The study was designed following the framework of the Medical Research Council (MRC) , for complex interventions. The study participants were 3rd-year Nursing bachelor students from the University of Navarra (Spain). The educational intervention was called Learning & Care, and it was framed within the European Higher Education Area. For the design of the intervention, the following steps were followed within the MRC framework: (1) review of the literature to know the educational methodologies used in the field of health for the care of patients with cancer and exploration of the different conceptual models of family nursing, (2) design and development of an educational intervention proposal developed by the researchers of the study, and (3) the evaluation of the intervention proposal by a multidisciplinary Expert Panel composed of 11 members: five nurses (primary care, researchers, teachers and hospitalization), a medical oncologist, a psycho-oncologist, a pharmacist, a student, a cancer survivor and a family member of a cancer survivor. With the suggestions of the panel, the final educational intervention was developed, and the exploratory and piloting study was carried out. The data collection lasted from February to April 2021, a period in which the students did not have exams. Sociodemographic information of all participants (intervention and control group) was collected only at baseline using a researcher-developed questionnaire that included variables such as: age, sex, previous study of some degree (it is common in Spain to do double degrees), previous courses or training related to family nursing and experience as healthcare worker (this last information was collected because some students work as nursing assistants while studying the Bachelor's degree). In addition, data was collected on the level of knowledge, skills and attitude of the students to carry out care focused on the cancer survivor and his family, both in the Control group (CG) and in the Intervention group (IG) before and after the educational intervention with the IG. At the end of the training with the IG, the data from the IG and GC on student satisfaction were collected. The students completed the sociodemographic information and the data on knowledge and attitude through the online platform Google Form. The principal researcher collected the data on the students' skills on a tablet. Lastly, the level of student satisfaction with the program was collected on site and on paper once the training program was completed. ;
