The online training PURPOSE There is limited access to quality palliative care (PC) for patients with advanced cancer in sub-Saharan originally designed for US patient navigators was supplemented by a Nigerian health system interactive session Nurses, Africa. Our aim was to describe the development of the Project Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes- advocates, and cancer survivors (n = 36) were recruited to take a patient navigation training from May-June 2020 that consisted of approximately 10 h of online content and a 2-h online session. Trainees enrolled in the no-cost training and completed all 20 Palliative Care in Africa (ECHO-PACA) program and describe a preliminary evaluation of attitudes and lessons. Post-intervention interviews (n = 10) were conducted to garner feedback from trainees. Trainees reported statistically knowledge of participants regarding the ability of the program to deliver quality PC. significant improvements in confidence in performing core competencies for cancer patient navigation across all lessons. Feedback was generally positive with trainees expressing satisfaction and appreciation for the training. Challenges included lack of free, broadband Internet access leading to data streaming costs on the part of trainees. Trainees who were oncology nurses indicated that funding, time, and staffing constraints could impede implementation of patient navigation in practice; but these trainees also expressed new ideas for patient support and advocacy to alleviate some barriers to care for their patients as a result of the training. This study provided preliminary data that supports the feasibility and utility of using the GW Cancer Center online patient navigation training in non-US settings. Small adaptations to training content and technological delivery could improve access to the training experience. Implementation science approaches are needed to inform sustainable patient navigation in low- resource settings. www.projectpinkblue.org @projectpinkblue@runciecwo

Summary (AI generated)

This was a Project, a Palliative Care Project that we did with UT MD Anderson. And over here, over here is the patient navigation training that we also had as part of this program to ensure that women are finding the, you know, where they need to do Diagnosis and treatment.

Example two is that we've seen several situations whereby people say that men are not interested in cancer. So Nigeria has a unique form of Cancer incidence and mortality in relation to Other countries.
