Carcinoid

#188

Introduction: There is a serious need to develop a clear framework based on multidisciplinary team practice, in order to facilitate early detection and management of carcinoid.

Aim(s): To examine NPs' knowledge of carcinoid and its relationship with demographic characteristics, the number of patients with carcinoid.

Materials and methods: Background data were obtained using a demographic data collection tool. Twenty multiple choice questions assessed NPs' knowledge of carcinoid. Data were collected over a two-day period at the National Clinical Conference, organized by the AANP. A convenience sample of 90 NPs attending the conference was selected, with response rate 100%.
