摘要
目标:癌症是一种复杂的疾病,癌症患者及其亲人会有不同的感受。癌症患者导航对于通过医疗保健系统和支持性资源为患者提供支持至关重要。加拿大癌症统计数据表明,癌症发病率持续上升,并对医疗保健产生影响。加拿大幅员辽阔,大部分人口居住在农村和偏远地区,获得医疗服务的机会较少。在加拿大,癌症导航在全国各地都有所不同;每个省或地区的卫生当局都会根据患者的需求制定自己的癌症导航计划。本报告旨在概述加拿大的癌症情况,以及全国范围内不同的导航计划。此外,报告还将回顾加拿大肿瘤护士协会/加拿大肿瘤信息协会(CANO/ACIO)在创建实践社区以支持全国癌症患者导航员方面所发挥的作用:通过与 CANO/ACIO 导航特别兴趣小组(SIG)讨论,获得了各省和地区导航计划的信息。除魁北克省、爱德华王子岛省、努纳武特地区和育空地区外,所有省份和地区都接受了采访:虽然绝大多数导航的核心意图相似,但各省和地区之间的导航计划存在许多差异。这些差异是基于地域需求和各个卫生机构:加拿大肿瘤护士协会/加拿大肿瘤医务人员协会(CANO/ACIO)通过特别兴趣小组(SIG)为癌症导航人员提供了一个联系社区,每月举行一次虚拟会议,以支持加拿大各地的相互合作,确定问题、趋势和挑战:癌症患者导航是所有癌症患者及其亲人的宝贵资源,尤其是在农村和偏远地区难以获得护理服务的情况下。尽管项目可能存在差异,但癌症患者导航员的工作范围在意图上是相似的。通过 CANO/ACIO 导航 SIG 与其他导航员建立联系,全国各地的导航员可以建立联系,讨论项目的相似性和障碍,以及癌症导航项目的合作机会,以相互支持和发展他们的项目,满足各省和地区居民的需求。
Cancer Patient Navigation in Canada: Directions From the North
Objectives
Cancer is a complex disease that is experienced by those affected by cancer and their loved ones differently. The importance of cancer patient navigation is quintessential to support those affected through the healthcare system and to supportive resources. Canadian cancer statistics advise of the continued increase of cancer and impacts on health care. With Canada being a large geographical area, large portions of the population live in rural and remote areas with decreased access to health services. In Canada, cancer navigation is different across the country; each province's or territory's health authority creates their own cancer navigation program based on the needs of their patients. This report aims to provide an overview of cancer in Canada, along with the different navigation programs available nationally. Additionally, it will review the role the Canadian Association of Nurses in Oncology/Association canadienne des infirmières en oncologie (CANO/ACIO) plays in creating a community of practice to support cancer patient navigators across the country.
Methods
The information on various provincial and territorial navigation programs was obtained through discussion with the CANO/ACIO Navigation Special Interest Group (SIG). All provinces and territories were interviewed with the exception of Quebec, Prince Edward Island, Nunavut, and Yukon.
Results
While the vast majority of navigation has a similar core intent, there are many differences between the provinces and territories in the navigation programs. These differences are based on geographical need and the individual health authorities.
Conclusions
The Canadian Association of Nurses in Oncology/Association canadienne des infirmières en oncologie (CANO/ACIO) provides a community for cancer navigators to connect through a Special Interest Group (SIG), meeting virtually monthly to support each other across Canada to collaborate, identify issues, trends, and challenges.
Implications for Nursing Practice
Cancer patient navigation is a valuable resource for all individuals with cancer and their loved ones, particularly when faced with difficulties accessing care in rural and remote areas. Cancer patient navigators' scope is similar in intent, despite potential differences in programs. By connecting with other navigators through the CANO/ACIO navigation SIG, navigators across the country can provide a connection to discuss program similarities and barriers and opportunities for cancer navigation programs to work together to support each other and evolve their programs to meet the needs of their provincial and territorial residents.
