Abstract：
BACKGROUND: The cancer burden in Africa is on the rise. A Cancer Training Course on screening, prevention, care, and community education is crucial for addressing a wide range of cancer health issues. When appropriately educated healthcare providers on cancer provide care, patient care improves, and healthcare costs decrease. However, in Tanzania, doctors and nurses receive little or no training in primary cancer care in their bachelor\'s program.
OBJECTIVE: This study assessed the need and acceptability of a cancer training course for nursing and medical doctor students at the Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences (MUHAS) in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
METHODS: This study was a cross-sectional parallel mixed method study during the 3-month follow-up within the larger study on sexual health training for health professionals. The study was a randomized controlled (RCT), single-blind, parallel trial of sexual health training versus a waitlist control among health students at MUHAS in Tanzania. Descriptive analysis was performed to analyze the participants\' demographic information, need, and acceptability of the cancer training courseto determine the frequencies and percentages of their distribution between disciplines. In addition, inductive thematic analysis was performed for the qualitative data. The RCT study was registered at Clinical Trial.gov (NCT03923582; 01/05/2021).
RESULTS: Data were collected from 408 students (272 medical doctors and 136 nursing students). The median age of the participants was 23 years. Most (86.0%) medical and 78.1% of nursing students reported receiving little to no cancer training. On the other hand, most (92.3%) medical and nursing (92.0%) students were interested in receiving cancer training. Furthermore, 94.1% of medical and 92.0% of nursing students needed a cancer training course in their undergraduate program. In addition, participants said a cancer training course would be important because it would help them improve the quality of cancer care and enhance the quality of life for patients by ensuring early diagnosis and treatment.
CONCLUSIONS: A cancer training course is both highly needed and acceptable to medical and nursing students. Implementation of this cancer training course will improve students\' knowledge and skills and eventually improve the quality of cancer care and patients\' quality of life by ensuring early diagnosis and management.

摘要：
背景：非洲的癌症负担正在上升。癌症筛查培训课程，预防,care,社区教育对于解决广泛的癌症健康问题至关重要。当受过适当教育的癌症医疗保健提供者提供护理时，病人护理改善，医疗成本下降。然而,在坦桑尼亚,医生和护士在他们的学士课程中很少或根本没有接受初级癌症护理培训。
目的：这项研究评估了在达累斯萨拉姆的Muhimbili卫生与联合科学大学（MUHAS）为护理和医学学生提供癌症培训课程的需求和可接受性。坦桑尼亚。
方法：本研究是在对卫生专业人员进行性健康培训的较大研究中进行的3个月随访期间的横断面平行混合方法研究。这项研究是一项随机对照研究（RCT），单盲,在坦桑尼亚MUHAS的健康学生中进行性健康培训与候补名单控制的平行试验。进行描述性分析以分析参与者的人口统计信息，需要,以及癌症培训课程的可接受性，以确定学科之间分布的频率和百分比。此外,对定性数据进行了归纳主题分析。RCT研究在ClinicalTrial.gov（NCT03923582;01/05/2021）注册。
结果：数据来自408名学生（272名医生和136名护理学生）。参与者的平均年龄为23岁。大多数（86.0％）医学和78.1％的护理学生报告接受很少或没有接受癌症培训。另一方面,大多数（92.3％）医学和护理（92.0％）学生对接受癌症培训感兴趣。此外，94.1％的医学专业学生和92.0％的护理专业学生在其本科课程中需要癌症培训课程。此外,参与者表示，癌症培训课程很重要，因为这将有助于他们提高癌症护理质量，并通过确保早期诊断和治疗来提高患者的生活质量。
结论：癌症培训课程对医学和护理专业学生来说是非常需要和接受的。该癌症培训课程的实施将提高学生的知识和技能，并通过确保早期诊断和管理最终提高癌症护理质量和患者的生活质量。
