“…The APP fellowship program at an academic comprehensive cancer center as described in this article provided dedicated time and space for reflective self-care through intentional, facilitated conversations in program called Claiming Resilience. These conversations focused on topics such as expectations, autonomy, relationships, and courage ( Frankenfield et al, 2018 ).…”

With the aging population and increasing number of cancer survivors contributing to a projected provider shortage, one solution is the specialization of nurse practitioners and physician assistants (part of the advanced practice provider [APP] workforce) in oncology. However, a lack of preparation in caring for the patient with cancer has led to burnout and stress in these groups. The authors studied an APP fellowship program to describe resilience, stress, and compassion in a transition-to-practice program and explore the experience of intentional, facilitated conversations. During 2019 and 2020, 18 APP fellows at a large, academic comprehensive cancer center participated in this descriptive study. The fellowship started in-person but changed to a virtual setting due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Resilience was measured through the Connor Davidson Resilience Scale 10, the Perceived Stress Scale, and the Professional Quality of Life Scale at four points in time: baseline, 6 months, 12 months, and 18 months. The experience of intentional, facilitated conversations was captured through simple theme collection as part of a standard program evaluation. Resilience, perceived stress, and compassion showed no statistical significance over the course of the fellowship. Evaluations of an intentional, facilitated conversation program found focal areas that included challenges, fatigue, empathy, relationships, role, self-awareness, and self-care. Despite the challenges of the pandemic on the health-care provider, the retention rate of APPs remained steady during the fellowship. The findings from this study suggested there was a benefit in an oncology fellowship for advanced practice and that intentional, facilitated conversations provide reflection and support during this experience.
