ForwardHSCT Acute Complications
In association with the Jerome and Celia Reich Oncology Nursing Fellowship, it was evident that resources were needed to promote the development of knowledge and to further enhance the education of nurses caring for patients who were undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). This was assessed by conducting an educational needs assessment and staff focus groups in 2019. Both the electronic survey and focus groups validated the need for educational interventions as resources to nurses in this specialty area of practice.
