Implementation Of An Evidence-Based Toolkit To Improve Colorectal Cancer Screening In A Federally Qualified Health Center, Stephanie Mckithan
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
The change in payor fee-for-service to value-based care is creating an opportunity for primary care clinics nationally to adjust their focus to meeting key clinical quality measures during patient encounters. Colorectal screening is one of such quality measures. Previous research has shown that early detection saves lives. The guidelines have lowered the recommended age of initial screening to 45 due to the incidence of colorectal cancer in younger patients. But with all the objectives that need to be met in the limited time of the visit, how can nurse practitioners improve their efficiency? This evidence-based project assessed the implementation of …

Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects
Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. Adenomatous polyps cause 90% of colorectal cancer. These polyps can be identified before they become cancerous through numerous colorectal cancer screenings. There are many ways to help cover the cost of screenings or to make them no cost to patients, but the number of individuals who have ever been screened or who are current with screening recommendations remains low. This DNP project aims to provide education to providers and individuals regarding the various type of colorectal cancer screening options. A reduction in fears and improved knowledge …

Developing A Clinical Practice Guideline For Colorectal Cancer Screening In Primary Care, Michelle Janise Berkley-Brown
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States for both men and women combined. CRC screening is an effective way to reduce mortality and morbidity related to the disease. Practitioners within primary care practices can play an essential role in encouraging people to be screened. Yet, CRC screening rates remain low in primary care practices. Evidence-based strategies are available to help practitioners improve CRC screening activities and improve screening rates. The lack of a clinical practice guideline (CPG) with strategies to help improve CRC screening interventions was identified as a practice gap for …

Molecular Genetic Cancer Screening: Role Of Prediction Of Colorectal Disease In The Clinic Setting, Samantha Spinks
DNP Research Projects
Colorectal Cancer is the third most common cancer in men and women and the second leading cause of cancer related deaths (ACS, 2019). Colonoscopy screening can prevent colon cancer by early detection and removal of adenomatous colon polyps. The ACS has been lowered from age 50 to 45 due to an increase in the prevalence of colon cancer in people below the age of 50 years of age. Molecular genetic screening is a tool that providers can use to identify patients who are at risk for premature adenomas. People who have a genetic variant are more likely to develop adenomas …

Patient Perception Of Telephone Follow-Up After Resection For Colorectal Cancer: Is It Time For An Alternative To The Out-Patient Clinic?, Marcus Gilmartin, Nicholas Leaver, George Hall, Helena Fawdry, Seung Lee, James Nicholson, Ramya Kalaiselvan, Raj Rajaganeshan
Patient Experience Journal
The economic reality of modern healthcare provides a timely reminder to clinicians of their duty to provide outstanding and cost-effective care. Although multiple guidelines outline investigation, management and surveillance of colorectal cancer, none advocate a particular delivery method. Nurse-led telephone follow-up in multiple specialties has demonstrated equivalent clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction when compared to traditional outpatient department follow-up. This paper aims to compare nurse-led telephone and outpatient follow-up, following surgical resection of colorectal cancer (CRC), focusing on patient perceptions. This cross-sectional study distributed adapted patient satisfaction questionnaire (PS-Q 18) to patients undergoing surveillance following CRC resection via either nurse-led …

The Meaning Of A Family History Of Colorectal Cancer In Black Families In The United States, Cassandra Loggins
The Meaning Of A Family History Of Colorectal Cancer In Black Families In The United States, Cassandra Loggins
Dissertations
The purpose of this study is to understand the meaning of a family history of colorectal cancer (CRC) for first-degree relatives of Blacks diagnosed with CRC. Even though CRC is more preventable than other cancers because of effective screening tests for prevention and early detection, Blacks experience a disproportionate burden of CRC compared to other groups. Interventions to increase CRC screening among Blacks have not produced a significant reduction in CRC disparity. Underutilization of CRC screening and low perceived risk of CRC are major factors contributing to CRC disparity. The informing methodological approach employed in this study was hermeneutic phenomenology, …

Colorectal Cancer Awareness And Screening Guideline For African American Populations, Keyna Omenukor
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Colorectal cancer is the 3rd leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Early screening
provides the best prospects for preventing the morbidity and mortality associated with the
disease. Nurses have the duty to promote health and prevent diseases. However, low rates
of colorectal cancer screening continue to be reported, especially among African
Americans who continue to suffer disproportionately from the disease. There is a need for
a culturally-sensitive clinical practice guideline that nurses can use to educate patients
appropriately on colorectal cancer. The practice focused question for this project was
designed to explore whether a culturally-sensitive clinical practice guideline to increase
colorectal …
