| Abstract |
A cancer diagnosis for pediatric patients and their caregivers is a devastating event. The emotional and mental tolls come with the need to learn about their new diagnosis and how to care for the disease at home. When patients and caregivers receive an appropriate and adequate education, it can enhance knowledge, quality of life, and self-care, leading to positive health outcomes. This project aims to implement a multimodal education strategy at diagnosis and across the care continuum that can provide consistent education in various ways to meet the educational needs and learning styles of all patients and caregivers. Recommendations for further research and topics are geared towards developing interactive videos, creating hands-on classes, and developing the oncology service line's website. Patients and their caregivers must have access to various resources. In addition, healthcare providers must work to identify the most appropriate resources for the patient and their caregiver's needs to create individualized educational plans. |
