EP1.07-02 - Role of Nurse in Patient Care During Immunotherapy Treatment Through Example of Canada and Poland (Now Available) (ID 637)
08:00 - 18:00 | Presenting Author(s): Monika Pawlak
- Abstract
Background
Immunotherapy is a rapidly growing field and is seen as an active cancer treatment strategy. Administration of immunocompetent drugs does not always take place in a stationary setting, so the level of education of the patient and his family is worth paying attention to. The knowledge of nursing staff plays an important role here.
Method
The method of participant observation and analysis of the literature was used in the work. The materials utilized are the procedures and standards abided in Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto, Clinical Hospital no. 1 of Poznan Medical University and the Medical University of Gdańsk. The observations were made during the participation in the Personalized Learning Program in Nursing-Clinical Research at Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto on 17-21 September 2018, and at Polish centers in 2018.
Result
Observations confirm that the analysis of the work structure, the functioning of observed centers, the availability of treatment methods and the scope of nurses competence in both countries vary. The level of education presented in Canada can serve as a model to follow for each country, where the method of treatment with immunocompetent drugs is transformed from the level of clinical trials into therapeutic programs.
Conclusion
Polish Nursing should use the experience of Canadian nurses in the education of patients treated with immunotherapy.
