Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to find out if a new training program for nurses called PACT (Partnership, Assessment, Care, and Transition) will be effective and relevant in helping nurses gain the skills needed to provide high-quality family-centered care. Family-centered care skills include engaging family caregivers as partners in patient care, and strengthening their capacity for caregiving by assessing family support needs and facilitating access to resources when needed. The study will also look at whether the quality of nurses' family-centered care skills is associated with improved outcomes for family caregivers. Both nurses and family caregivers will be enrolled in this study. Participants will be nurses/caregivers who care for advanced GI cancer patients admitted to Memorial Sloan Kettering.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Nurses

MSKCC day-shift nurses (Clinical Nurse I to IV) assigned to the GI inpatient unit (MH16) at the time of study, all of whom provide initial and ongoing assessment of patients' physical, psychosocial, cultural and informational needs

Behavioral: Partnership, Assessment, Care and Transition training intervention
Partnership, Assessment, Care and Transition to psychosocial resources. Nurses who participate in PACT will receive 8 hours of training in a single, full-day workshop. We will train nurses in clusters of 10-12 nurses at one time, which will allow for cross-coverage with minimal disruption to workflow, and provide a more intimate, small-group learning environment.
