Digital Training Module for Sustainable Education of Pediatric Oncology Nurses

Pediatric oncology nurses are healthcare professionals who constantly communicate with children and their families for 24 hours, and take professional roles and responsibilities in areas such as care planning, a continuation of treatment, and symptom management.However, there is no standard undergraduate education program accepted worldwide in the field of pediatric oncology nursing. For example, undergraduate nursing education in Türkiye is carried out in line with the Nursing National Core Education Program (NNCEP), and information about pediatric oncology nursing is included in the curriculum of specific courses in undergraduate programs. In addition, nurses graduate without specializing in any field in our country. Therefore, the education of pediatric oncology nurses and the continuity of education is an essential problem in developing and low-middle-income countries like our country. This prospective study in randomized controlled pre-test-post-test design aimed to develop an online website consisting of information and support modules for the care of children with cancer for sustainable pediatric oncology nursing education in Türkiye.
