The impact of a pharmacy student led discussion group on parents of teenagers living with cancer: a service-based learning project Rachel Saroka and Amy Parkhill, PhD St John Fisher College, Wegmans School of Pharmacy, Rochester, NY Introduction No longer children and not yet adults, adolescents with cancer face unique challenges both socially and medically. Over the last 20 years, cancer survival rates have increased dramatically for children and older adults, but there has been minimal improvement in survival rates for the adolescent and young adult (AYA) population. 1 Since teenagers receive chemotherapy early in their life, it puts them at increased risk of secondary malignancies and other late onset effects later in their life. 2 To address some of these health consequences, TLC has provided the TLC FIT program. This was a free eight week fitness program designed to re-train and empower young adult cancer survivors ages 13 to 22 and give them tools individualized to their needs to stay physically fit. Furthermore, physical changes that occur with treatment, along with misunderstanding from peers, can make an already stressful time of life unbearable. TLC aims to improve the quality of life for all those impacted by adolescent cancer, family and friends included. Support groups provided by TLC allow teens to be surrounded with other teens that understand what they are going through. 3 Objective Service based learning courses are becoming more widespread as the benefits to the students, university, and community are being recognized. As part of an elective cancer biology course, students partnered with Teens Living with Cancer (TLC). TLC is a project of the non-profit organization Melissa’s Living Legacy Teen Cancer Foundation. The focus of the study was to determine the impact of a student led discussion group, covering the long- term consequences of chemotherapy, had on the parents of teenagers living with cancer. Methods The student led discussion was conducted with parents of teenagers afflicted by cancer at a support group meeting. Reference cards were provided that detailed the late effects of various chemotherapy agents outlined by pharmacologic class, risk factors in developing the late effects, and what to periodically evaluate in monitoring for these late effects. Information for the reference cards was largely obtained from Children’s Oncology Group (COG) guidelines that included the AYA population. 3 Parents were given the opportunity to ask questions and voice any concerns. At the conclusion of the meeting, parents were asked to complete surveys to identify the impact and benefit of the information provided. Survey questions included five-point Likert scale questions and open-ended questions Conclusions and Implications The student led discussion was successfully administered to 7 parents all of whom had a teenager or young adult survivor of cancer or currently undergoing treatment. 5 students from service learning course, PHAR 5526: Introduction to Cancer Biology and Treatment participated in the discussion All of the parents “agreed” or “strongly agreed” with the survey One parent disagreed with discussing the information with their teenager Future directions would be to set up a similar discussion with the teens and young adult fighters/survivors of cancer References 1.National Comprehensive Cancer Network.
