ForwardA Review: Pittsburgh's Oncology Nurse Researchers!
Join us for an evening as 8 Pittsburgh nurses present their research on a variety of oncology topics. Hear their findings on sleep disturbances, racial considerations for symptom management, quality of life changes for women with metastatic breast cancer, self-advocacy variations by social differences, women with breast cancer and pain control, predicting musculoskeletal pain, post menopausal women with cancer's symptom trajectories, and factors influencing engagement for ovarian cancer patients.
Target Audience
This event is open to nurses and other healthcare professionals interested in hearing about oncology research topics from local nurse researchers.
Learning Objectives
Following completion of this activity, the learner will be able to
1. Describe 3 treatment and demographic factors related to the development of sleep disturbances in women undergoing breast cancer treatment.
2. Articulate the history of racial issues in cancer symptom science.
3. Explain the association between demographic factors and poor quality end of life care indicators for patients with metastatic breast cancer.
4. Define self-advocacy among women newly diagnosed metastatic breast or advanced gynecologic cancer.
5. Select 2 measures to promote self-advocacy for optimal pain control among cancer patients in your practice area.
6. Use an "omics profile" to predict pain in breast cancer patients with decreased estrogen.
7. Recognize 3 symptom trajectories common for postmenopausal women taking anastrozole.
8. Identify 2 patient factors that are associated with intervention engagement for WRITE symptoms.
