DECREASING OVERALL BREAST CANCER RISK THROUGH ASSESSMENT, TREATMENT, AND PREVENTION OF VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY IN THE ADULT POPULATION
Get PDFThe primary objective of this study is to examine the effectiveness of an educational initiative aimed at enhancing nurse practitioners\u27 understanding and recognition of vitamin D deficiency. The purpose of this program is to equip them with the skills to screen, diagnose, and manage this condition to mitigate the overall risk of breast cancer in patients. Vitamin D deficiency is a prevalent global health issue that affects over one billion people, and it can manifest at any stage of life without showing any symptoms, making it challenging for healthcare providers to detect. However, even mild or prolonged deficiencies can lead to an increased risk of osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and specific types of cancer. Breast cancer is a major global health concern that affects millions of women every year, with studies suggesting that low serum vitamin D concentrations could contribute to an increased risk of breast cancer, recurrence, and mortality. A significant proportion of breast cancer survivors have inadequate levels of vitamin D. To evaluate the impact of the educational intervention, this quasi-experimental study will use a pre-and post-test approach, with participants recruited via a private social media group for advanced practice nurses in Southwest Missouri, Southeast Kansas, and Northeast Oklahoma. The data collected will be analyzed to determine if the educational initiative has enhanced practitioners\u27 awareness of vitamin D deficiency and their confidence in integrating it into their clinical practice
