Fifty-one professionals from, e.g., family medicine, pharmacy, social work, psychology, occupational therapy, and nursing participated in seven focus groups. An additional 32 nurses participated in a nursing-specific needs assessment survey. Using modified Delphi technique, working group members conducted three iterative rounds to review data and built consensus on competency items in relation to three levels of expertise, from early learner/novice practitioner, advancing practitioner, to expert practitioner.Results: A final consensus was reached for the selection of competencies that reflect optimal cancer care mapped into three levels of expertise, as well as knowledge, skills, and attitudes expected of each level. Examples for the competency for early learner/novice practitioner include the following: Have awareness of common ethical issues in cancer care (knowledge); demonstrate ability to discuss, educate, and counsel patients and their support persons(s) regarding preferences (skills); and appreciate the impact of culture, the sensitivity, and diversity of attitudes in relation to cancer (attitude). Expert practitioner examples include: recognition of need for, and ability to advocate for challenges involving equity and access in order to improve health outcomes (skill) and awareness of workplace complexities, such as provider roles, team functioning, and organizational environments affecting patient-practitioner relationships (attitude).Conclusion: The de Souza Interprofessional practice cancer competency framework provides a set of shared competencies and a novice to expert pathway for clinicians across disciplines and supports a more standardized learning and comprehensive approach in organizing professional development towards a coordinated, high quality, and person-centered care. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
