“…We speak of interdisciplinary learning when two or more disciplines learn with, from and about each other to improve collaboration and quality of care [69]. An interdisciplinary e-learning approach was chosen because existing literature suggests this approach is effective in improving communication between HCPs, coordination, and understanding of each other's professional roles and tasks [82]. Additionally, asynchronous e-learning is a learner-centred approach that allows participation at a time and location that is convenient for the HCP.…”

Introduction: One of the noted areas of weakness for internal medicine residents is pharmacology. However, there is little data documenting the creation and effect of a comprehensive pharmacology didactic program. Our goal was to create a two-year clinical pharmacology didactic program focused on areas of stated weakness and to evaluate this program for an increase in knowledge and prescribing confidence of the participants. Methods: From August 2020 to June 2022, a two-year pharmacology program was developed, which included 20 didactic lectures on a variety of topics. Pre- and post-tests were given for 15 of the lectures, and four surveys were given, two during each year of the program. Four questions on each survey were the same and asked about confidence in choosing an appropriate medication based on current guidelines, patient-specific factors, primary literature, and pharmacokinetics. Results: Over the two years, participation in the pharmacology sessions ranged from 17 to 29 residents (65-74% of the residency class). The average pre- and post-test scores increased by an average of 25.1%, which was a statistically significant increase (p<0.001, 95% CI [17.5, 32.8]). A Kruskal-Wallis H test showed a statistically significant difference in resident-reported confidence adjusting medications based on primary literature between the different survey groups, χ2 = 9.871, p = 0.02. Conclusion: A two-year, didactic pharmacology program improved the knowledge of resident participants and confidence in their ability to choose an appropriate medication based on primary literature.

“…Certain beliefs sometimes derive from a HCP's education or training in which too little attention is paid to pain mechanisms, adequate medication use, and the importance of an early multidisciplinary approach [83]. Previous studies suggest developing additional education programs for HCPs to gain more knowledge about pain, to shift from a biomedical to a biopsychosocial perspective on pain, and to change the beliefs of HCPs [101][102][103]. Furthermore, it is of great importance to provide interprofessional education and training for HCPs.…”

Exploring healthcare providers’ perceptions regarding the prevention and treatment of chronic pain in breast cancer survivors: A qualitative analysis among different disciplines

Background The prevention and treatment of chronic pain problems in breast cancer follow-up care require an adequate response from healthcare providers. Generally, this involves the uptake of evidence-based principles regarding pain management in everyday practice. However, despite the extensive literature on effective pain interventions, systematic and coordinated follow-up care is lacking for breast cancer survivors with pain problems in Flanders, Belgium. Objective This study aimed to gather insight into healthcare providers’ perceptions of pain prevention and treatment in breast cancer follow-up care, particularly with attention to the multilevel influences on pain follow-up. Methods We conducted four online focus groups with twenty-two healthcare providers from different disciplines such as oncologists, pharmacists, nurses, physiotherapists, and psychologists. Data analysis was guided by the Qualitative Analysis Guide of Leuven. This guide is inspired by the constant comparison method, based on Grounded Theory. Results The identified influencing factors were thematically grouped into four levels: at the level of the individual healthcare provider, in interaction with the patient, in interaction with colleagues, and at the context level. At each level, we distinguished factors related to healthcare providers’ perceptions such as awareness, knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, experiences, and intentions. For example, because of a lack of knowledge and certain beliefs among healthcare providers, referral to other disciplines often does not happen in the context of pain. Conclusion This study points out the need to explore the prevention and treatment of chronic pain after breast cancer from a multidimensional point of view. This involves not only the characteristics of individual healthcare providers but is also inherently interactional and system-like in nature. This analysis provides opportunities for the development of interventions that target the influencing factors of prevention and treatment of chronic pain in breast cancer survivors.
