A growing body of research has demonstrated that decision making about CAM within cancer treatment and care is complex and often overwhelming for patients. Patients require support from the interprofessional health care team to effectively make safe decisions about CAM. An interprofessional team of researchers and clinicians have collaborated at the BC Cancer Agency to develop an innovative program to address patient and health care professional needs related to CAM decision making within the cancer experience. The purpose of this presentation is to describe the recent development of the Complementary Medicine Education and Outcomes (CAMEO) Program at the BC Cancer Agency in Vancouver, BC. The objectives of the CAMEO Program as well as the planned knowledge translation activities related to CAM information and decision support will be discussed. The CAMEO Program is a 4-year program that aims to: 1) support people with cancer in making CAM decisions; 2) strengthen health professionals’ knowledge and clinical skills related to CAM; and 3) facilitate the development of new CAM research knowledge. To achieve these goals, a variety of knowledge translation projects are under development, including continuing education programs for both patients and health professionals, one-on-one counselling for patients with complex needs related to CAM, and clinical tools and guidelines to assist health professionals in supporting safe and informed decisions about CAM. With the predominance of CAM use within cancer populations, the CAMEO program is an important step in the knowledge translation process that will “take the knowledge to the bedside” and provide support to cancer patients in making safe and evidence-informed decisions about CAM."@en ; edm:aggregatedCHO "https://circle.library.ubc.ca/rest/handle/2429/15804?expand=metadata"@en ; dcterms:extent "1533742 bytes"@en ; dc:format "application/pdf"@en ; skos:note "Supported by: Lynda Balneaves1, Tracy Truant2, Marja Verhoef3 , Brenda Ross2, Antony Porcino1 1UBC School of Nursing; 2BC Cancer Agency 3University of Calgary, Dept. of Community Health Sciences The Complementary Medicine Education and Outcomes (CAMEO) Program: Taking the Knowledge to the Bedside NEXUS Spring Institute April 16, 2009 Acknowledgements | Lotte & John Hecht Memorial Foundation | CIHR New Investigator Award z Dr. Lynda Balneaves | CIHR/Canadian Research Chair in Complementary Medicine z Dr. Marja Verhoef Outline | What is Complementary Medicine (CAM)? | What is CAMEO? | How will CAMEO “bridge the gap” for cancer patients, families, health care professionals & researchers in British Columbia? | Next steps What is CAM? \"a group of diverse medical and health care systems, practices, and products that are not presently considered to be part of conventional medicine” *National Centre for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) Body-based Mind-body Biologically-based Energy Ancient healing systems CAM Continuum CAM Information & Decision Support Needs: Patient Survey* (N=359) | 47% use/have used CAM during cancer experience z 30 % biologically based z 23 % mind-body based z 17 % body based z 16 % energy based z 16 % ancient healing systems | 28 % discussed CAM with oncology HCP | 18 % got enough support from their oncology HCP in making CAM decisions *Nov 2008, Vancouver Centre, BCCA Patient Survey, con’t (N=359) | Top 3 learning needs: z What CAM therapies are helpful? z How to safely combine CAM & cancer treatment? z When is it safe to use CAM through the cancer journey? | Top 3 services that would be helpful: z CAM information booklet z website z 1:1 decision support service | 74 % would attend CAM education/decision support programs if available. Welcome to CAMEO! • Complementary Medicine Education & Outcomes Program •Collaborative UBC School of Nursing and BC Cancer Agency research program •A “living laboratory” The goal is to support individuals in making informed CAM decisions, not recommending or offering specific therapies. Why CAMEO? | Up to 80% of Canadians with cancer use CAM during their cancer experience. | BC Provincial Ambulatory Oncology Patient Satisfaction Survey (2007) “Approximately half of patients… felt comfortable talking with health care providers about complementary, alternative, or non- traditional treatment (53%).” | Our research has shown cancer patients, families and oncology health professionals struggle with making safe and informed decisions about CAM. The Patient’s Voice …at the stage where we are there is no co-operation between complementary medicine and official medicine… there is sort of a barrier between and the information we have is only partial. Its confusing… (man with early-stage prostate cancer) Everything happened for me so fast. I literally had six weeks for everything, diagnosis, surgery, chemo…it was so compressed. I would have like to have had more time so I could have spent more time talking to people [about CAM] and getting kind of a more rounded opinion, but I couldn’t. I was desperate. My cancer was moving along and I had no choice.
