The participants and setting are conveniently selected cancer patients from three hospitals in Shiyan City, Hubei Province, from December 2022 to May 2023 as the study subjects. Questionnaires were administered using the General Information Questionnaire, Self-Perceived Burden (SPBS), Self-Efficacy Scale (SUPPH), and Difficulties in End-of-Life Discussions-Family Inventory (DEOLD-FI). The PROCESS 3.4 program was used to analyze the mediating effect of self-efficacy between self-perceived burdens and end-of-life communication disorders. In cancer patients, self-feeling burden was negatively correlated with self-efficacy (r =  - 0.439, P < 0.01) and positively correlated with end-of-life communication difficulties (r = 0.600, P < 0.01). Self-efficacy was negatively correlated with end-of-life communication difficulties (r =  - 0.608, P < 0.01). Self-efficacy partially mediated the relationship between self-perceived burden and end-of-life communication difficulties, accounting for 31.19% of the total effect. Cancer patients' self-perceived burden, communication difficulties, and self-efficacy are all moderate.

Community healthcare professionals often require laryngectomy-specific education and training to provide optimal care to people at home. However, laryngectomy-specific education/training is often sporadic and varies between centres, making it difficult to achieve standardisation in healthcare professionals' laryngectomy knowledge and skills. This study aimed to identify and critically review existing laryngectomy education/training resources for healthcare professionals, which include elements applicable to community care. We used environmental scanning to systematically and comprehensively identify and examine all available education/training resources which had an element of education and/or training applicable to community laryngectomy care. Eligible resources were reviewed for training-specific details, laryngectomy-specific details, evaluation method, accessibility, and patient and public involvement (PPI). A total of 6655 resources were screened; 49 were eligible for data extraction. There was wide variability in the level of laryngectomy-specific content in the resources. PPI in development was lacking, and data detailing the impact of resources on healthcare professionals' knowledge/skills and patient outcomes was sparse. This is the first study to systematically identify and appraise laryngectomy education/training resources which have applicability to community care. There is not one consistent approach to education/training development method, content, delivery, or evaluation, likely rendering these ineffective and lacking impact. Community-specific laryngectomy education and training, with clear implementation and evaluation, is required.</p>","PeriodicalId":50246,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cancer Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144276500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Retention and academic competitiveness of early-career awardees are critical for advancing cancer research; therefore, NASDC sought to develop the next generation of leaders to meet the nation's biomedical, behavioral, and clinical cancer research needs. NASDC comprised a group of institutions supported through cooperative agreement awards issued by the NCI, including a U24 coordinating center (U24CC) to support logistics and evaluations and four institutional awardees to deliver evidence-based scientific and educational content (UE5 awards for research education projects [UE5]). The U24CC managed applications, conducted course evaluations, and facilitated the consortium's administrative structure. The consortium infrastructure consisted of a Governance Steering Committee with five working groups to manage the projects. A web portal was developed to help recruit eligible applicants to attend the courses. Each course was delivered five to six times over 3 years, and an evaluation system was implemented to assess outcomes within courses and across courses and cohorts. Originally intended to be in-person short courses, the COVID pandemic forced the projects to adapt to virtual platforms. NASDC aimed to build a stable pool of leading cancer researchers. NASDC successfully supported junior faculty NCI grantees by delivering evidence-based educational content, despite the COVID-19 pandemic. The intent of the program was implemented smoothly, and courses were delivered effectively. Although NCI did not reissue the program in 2021 for budgetary reasons, some of these courses are now funded by an R25 mechanism.

We explored healthcare professionals' experiences working in Danish LECs from a psychodynamic perspective seeking to understand how professionals from different disciplines navigate their roles and collaborate within the context of survivorship care. We employed a qualitative approach through three virtual focus groups with nurses, physicians, and psychologists n = 15. All respectively working in five different LECs with patients and caregivers affected by general late effects after cancer treatment. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Four themes were found: Transformation towards person-centered care, therapeutic space as a precondition, redefined professional boundaries, and challenges due to traditional hospital structures. The themes revealed that patients with late effects and their caregivers require a bio-psychosocial and person-centered approach, with an emphasis on creating a therapeutic space as a prerequisite for cooperation. The professionals were willing to expand their professional boundaries but were challenged by systemic hierarchy and the constant need for competency and team development. Experiences and dynamics within professional roles in Danish LECs have significant implications for rethinking the organization and professional development of care. These insights suggest the need to empower healthcare professionals, adapt to evolving professional roles, and enhance person-centered care in this unique survivorship context. Improved collaboration across roles could provide survivors with more cohesive, supportive care, though traditional hospital hierarchies pose challenges. Increased professional development promises a higher level of tailored, competent care for addressing complex late effects during survivorship.</p>","PeriodicalId":50246,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cancer Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144235784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Survey data were collected as part of a quality improvement project to improve HPV vaccination in a safety-net health system and federally qualified health center. Knowledge items were related to guidelines for HPV vaccination by patient age and the types of cancer the HPV vaccine can prevent. Attitudes were related to the importance of recommending the HPV vaccine and self-efficacy in making vaccine recommendations, and behavioral items included current recommendation behaviors and barriers to recommendations. Data were stratified by role, clinicians and non-clinicians, and were analyzed in SAS. Participants (n = 125) were knowledgeable, but significant differences were noted by the individual's role (p < 0.05). Participants differed in their knowledge of the cancers the HPV vaccine can prevent. Common barriers reported were parental vaccine hesitancy (70% clinicians, 45% non-clinicians) and parents lacking information (49% clinicians, 58% non-clinicians).

The decision to train in a particular sub-specialty depends on various factors including the clinical experiences during medical school. Exposure to a particular specialty through clinical rotations, research, and mentorship can encourage students to pursue that field later on. Student interest groups can further play a role in fostering interactions between students, faculty, and patients that can subsequently contribute to increasing awareness and interest in a particular field such as oncology.
