Union for International Cancer Control
This workshop will advance palliative care education and the capacity of professional nurses in Georgia to improve quality of life among adult oncology patients. This will be achieved through the delivery of evidence-based training modules pre-selected by Georgian physicians and nurses, and identification of early innovators and key collaborators so as to position the field of nursing oncology for successful long-term development. Content will focus on state-of-science skills that nurses can carry out to relieve patients’ cancer and treatment-related symptoms; reduce patients’ anxiety and depressed mood; and enhance patient and caregiver illness-management skills and competencies. The project includes a day of observing nurses in practice, a 3-day intensive workshop, consultation with Tbilisi State Medical University faculty on integrating the modules into the TSMU nursing curriculum as well as on-site follow-up and coaching of purposefully-selected nurse participants.
