Abstract

This presentation outlines the development and pilot testing of a nurse-led intervention to address this gap in care. The one-on-one CAM decision support coaching intervention (CAM DSCI) offers cancer patients with complex CAM decision support needs (e.g. multiple CAM therapy use, high distress levels, considering conventional treatment delays) a structured approach to accessing and contextualizing evidence-informed CAM information to their unique clinical and personal situation.[The complete version of University of British Columbia nursing student journal for 2013 is available at: http://hdl.handle.net/2429/45164]
