Gwendolyn Quinn, PhD and her team from Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida have recently published Adoption and Cancer Survivors: Findings From a Learning Activity for Oncology Nurses in Cancer. In this publication, Quinn outlines the need for a study determining the rate at which cancer survivors successfuly adopt a child or about their experiences navigating the process. ENRICH nursing participants were tasked with contacting adoption agencies to learn more about the process for cancer survivors with the goal of helping nurses assist patients in navigating the adoption process.
