摘要
Aim: To develop a curriculum for a flexible/online palliative cancer care educational programme for Australian community pharmacists using expert stakeholders. Method: Focus groups with pharmacists (n = 7), doctors (n = 6) and nurses (n = 12) were conducted utilising the Nominal Group Technique. Participants considered a draft of the programme, listing other modules that needed to be included, and three key messages for each module. Results: The results of each focus group were amalgamated, resulting in a list of 22 modules with multiple key messages. These findings were combined with those from a literature review and pharmacist survey, to arrive at the final programme structure which comprised 11 modules, each containing three to seven key messages. Conclusion: The focus groups validated, enhanced and refined the findings from the literature review and survey.
