Description

Speakers Janie Teresa Lappan, MEd BScN RN CPHON^® and Lindsay Wizowski, MEd BScN of the interdisciplinary pediatric oncology team at McMaster Children’s Hospital will present evidence-based, patient-centered, patient education materials for teens and young adults regarding sex and sexuality.  The need for these patient education materials was identified after an incidental finding of pregnancy during routine follow up scans on a 15 year old cancer patient.  When a review of the literature and existing patient education materials was conducted, they found a lack of available information pertaining to sex and sexuality specific to teens and young adults with cancer.

The materials to be presented are intended for nurses and health professionals, and students in the health disciplines to help facilitate discussion about sex and sexuality between health care professionals and teens and young adults. This 75-minute presentation will include 60 minutes of content and 15 minutes of Q&A.

Objectives

1. Provide consistent information about sex to teens with cancer.
2. Identify the steps in developing “clear language” patient education materials.
3. Describe how a critical incident can trigger a quality improvement initiative.
4. Understand the value of interprofessional collaboration and the steps to foster it.
