Abstract
Background: Despite successful treatment regimens and remission rates of greater than 90%, early death is a concern for patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). The challenges surrounding proper care for APL are centered on the low volume of patients, which limits healthcare professionals' knowledge of disease management.
Objectives: The purpose of this project was to develop resources and present an educational module specific to managing patients newly diagnosed with APL. An intervention to evaluate bedside nurses' knowledge of APL was implemented.
Methods: Thirty-four RNs were recruited for participation. A clinical practice guideline, an algorithm, and a fact sheet were developed to provide resources for providers. An educational module was presented to the RNs to increase their knowledge of APL. Pre- and postintervention surveys were created to assess knowledge and confidence before and after the intervention.
Findings: Thirty-four RNs completed the module, and 27 participated in the pre- and postintervention surveys. Mean knowledge test scores increased significantly from 7.19 preintervention to 14.04 postintervention (p < 0.001).
期刊介绍：
The Clinical Journal of Oncology Nursing (CJON) is an official publication of the Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) and is directed to the practicing nurse specializing in the care of patients with an actual or potential diagnosis of cancer. CJON is a vehicle to promote the mission of ONS, which is to advance excellence in oncology nursing and quality cancer care. The CJON mission is twofold: to provide practical information necessary to care for patients and their families across the cancer continuum and to develop publication skills in oncology nurses.
