Interventions

  • Digital training module — OTHER
    The intervention is a 24/7 accessible educational website for pediatric oncology nurses, based on the EONS Cancer Nursing Education Framework. It features five validated training modules, enhanced with visual and auditory materials such as videos and infographics. Nurses will receive login credentials, allowing them to access the platform and participate in the training. Each module ends with a 20-question test, requiring a score of 60 to advance. A support line enables nurses to ask questions directly to researchers. Successful completion of each module earns a certificate. The website will be piloted with 15 nurses, and feedback will be used to refine its design and content.

Study Details

Pediatric oncology nurses are healthcare professionals who constantly communicate with children and their families for 24 hours, and take professional roles and responsibilities in areas such as care planning, a continuation of treatment, and symptom management.However, there is no standard undergraduate education program accepted worldwide in the field of pediatric oncology nursing. For example, undergraduate nursing education in Türkiye is carried out in line with the Nursing National Core Education Program (NNCEP), and information about pediatric oncology nursing is included in the curriculum of specific courses in undergraduate programs. In addition, nurses graduate without specializing in any field in our country. Therefore, the education of pediatric oncology nurses and the continuity of education is an essential problem in developing and low-middle-income countries like our country. This prospective study in randomized controlled pre-test-post-test design aimed to develop an online website consisting of information and support modules for the care of children with cancer for sustainable pediatric oncology nursing education in Türkiye.
