RESUMO

Team collaboration in our healthcare workforce is necessary to effectively address multifaceted medical and social needs, especially for those impacted by systemic inequities. Effective interprofessional practice and education models including curricula are needed to prepare a practice ready healthcare workforce for team collaboration. Most healthcare trainee interprofessional experiences take place episodically in classroom settings. However, creating a culture that supports team-based learning and interprofessional clinical practice requires teaching skills (e.g., communication, collaboration, shared decision-making, coordination of care) longitudinally in the clinical setting. A weekly interprofessional clinic for patients/clients with chronic health conditions was organized in three primary care practices. Trainees from nutrition, social work, medicine, and physician assistant programs worked with supervising clinicians from each field. Surveys, interviews, and focus groups assessed the effects of interprofessional education and training in the primary care setting. Results show the longitudinal experiential IPE program significantly improved knowledge, attitudes, skills, and values addressing key interprofessional competencies. Qualitative results complement survey data and highlight key themes addressing patient-centered care and team dynamics. These findings demonstrate the importance of longitudinal, immersive team-based interprofessional training in the clinical learning environment.

RESUMO

Background: Contraception screening and referral occur infrequently in cancer care for young women of reproductive age. Barriers to contraception screening and referral in this setting have not been thoroughly identified. Objectives: We sought to understand oncology clinicians' current practices and perceptions of barriers to screening and referring young women for adequate contraception during cancer treatment. Methods: We conducted individual semi-structured interviews with 19 oncology clinicians whom we recruited from an urban, northeast medical center. Participants included physicians, advanced practice clinicians, and nurses in surgical and medical oncology. The interview guide addressed core components of the Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services framework, and subsequent directed content analysis identified themes indicative of barriers to contraception screening and referral. Findings: Participants varied significantly in their current contraception screening practices; many conflated early pregnancy diagnosis or pregnancy avoidance counseling with contraception, whereas others described inaccurate contraceptive recommendations for specific clinical scenarios. Participants also lacked clarity of roles and responsibilities within the oncologic care team for contraception and assumed that another team member had addressed contraception. Participants perceived themselves to lack adequate education about contraception, which precluded contraception discussions. Conclusion: We recommend cancer centers consider these possible barriers to contraception screening and referral by promoting development of institutional guidelines to standardize contraception screening and referral, clarifying roles and responsibilities for contraception discussions within the care team, and expanding oncology clinician education on contraception. National professional organizations should work to expand guidelines to inform and support this process in clinical practice.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: This randomized controlled trial evaluates the feasibility of using an Embodied Conversational Agent (ECA) to teach lifestyle modifications to urban women. METHODS: Women were randomized to either 1) an ECA (content included: mindfulness, stress management, physical activity, and healthy eating) or 2) patient education sheets mirroring same content plus a meditation CD/MP3 once a day for one month. General outcome measures included: number of stress management techniques used, physical activity levels, and eating patterns. RESULTS: Sixty-one women ages 18 to 50 were enrolled. On average, 51% identified as white, 26% as black, 23% as other races; and 20% as Hispanic. The major stress management techniques reported at baseline were: exercise (69%), listening to music (70%), and social support (66%). After one month, women randomized to the ECA significantly decreased alcohol consumption to reduce stress (p=0.03) and increased daily fruit consumption by an average of 2 servings compared to the control (p=0.04). CONCLUSION: It is feasible to use an ECA to promote health behaviors on stress management and healthy eating among diverse urban women. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Compared to patient information sheets, ECAs provide promise as a way to teach healthy lifestyle behaviors to diverse urban women.
