Medical staff in Developing countries
  • shortage (sometimes dramatic) of support staff in
    hospitals and health centres, both in large
    cities and in rural areas
  • Doctors too often choose to practice in towns
  • Lack of in-service training for both medical and
    support staff

Training Issues in Cancer
  • Although the training of medical personnel is a
    priority, training for support staff at the
    bedside is not sufficiently recognised as a
    necessary tool in the fight against cancer

5
Nurses Cancer Training
  • In most developing countries, training is
    inadequate, unsuitable, and does not include
    cancer care
  • Just one way to learn with the help of doctors
    who have trained in developed countries

6
Many obstacles for Nurses
  • Shortage of medical staff
  • Lack of sufficient resources
  • No cancer training
  • Cancer is a low health priority in most
    countries
  • Cancer a cultural tragedy for the people

7
Responsibilities of nursesfor patient-centred
care
  • Coordination of care and treatment with the
    oncologist
  • Good knowledge of malignant diseases
  • Management of
  • Chemotherapy and its side effects
  • Pain control
  • Nursing care
  • Palliative care
  • Information for patients and families about
    treatment

8
Training Program
  • In developing countries, the major requirements
    are
  • Prevention and early diagnosis
  • Chemotherapy, pain management
  • Palliative Care and End of Life

9
Cancers attributable share
10
Chemotherapy knowledge
  • Objectives
  • Looking after patients with cancer coming back
    from Europe or USA
  • Nursing implications and side effects
  • Evaluation of pain and pain control

11
Palliative Care
  • Nurses need a professional approach and total
    quality control to look after patients when often
    there is
  • - No money
  • - No medicines
  • - No hope
  • - Abandonment of cancer patients

12
Improving cancer nursing
  • Promote initial training in nursing colleges and
    faculties of medicine
  • Improve in-service training
  • Recognise the work of the paramedical staff
  • Encourage working in partnership with European
    and American centres and agencies for cancer
    control

Whats new with AMCC-INCTR Cancer Training
  • Doctors, Nurses, midwives and Social Workers were
    present during the workshop
  • Teaching was done through assessment (determining
    needs and level of information required),
    planning (based on desired outcome),
    prioritization, implementation, evaluation and
    documentation

20
Key elements of nurses education
  • Based on learning needs
  • Interactive process
  • Involves doctors/nurses/individuals responsible
    for patients continuing care
  • Collaborative and interdisciplinary
  • Consistent across continuum of care

21
An example with Palliative Care Training
  • Developing Nurses education and support
    Materials working pathways suggested like
  • Palliative Care Journals
  • E-Newsletters
  • Distance Learning Programs

22
With a Professional acknowledgement
  • Certificates in Palliative Care
  • Diplomas in Palliative Care
  • Resource Training Centers

23
Effective Control of cancerwill require
  • Major commitments to the training of health care
    professionals
  • Recognition of Cancer Nursing as a specialty
  • Someone in each country to develop to Public
    education programs and to provide adequate
    facilities for treatment
