Phothikul J, Seven M. Knowledge, Perception, and Skills, and Practices of Oncology Nurses in Cancer Survivorship Care: a Scoping Review. JOURNAL OF CANCER EDUCATION : THE OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR CANCER EDUCATION 2023:10.1007/s13187-023-02311-x. [PMID: 37227591 DOI: 10.1007/s13187-023-02311-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 05/12/2023] [Indexed: 05/26/2023]
Abstract
Survivorship care focuses on the well-being and quality of life of people affected by cancer. Oncology nurses play an essential role in survivorship care and must be equipped with the knowledge, skills, and competencies to provide survivorship care. This scoping review explored the existing literature on nurses' knowledge, perception, skills, or practices in delivering cancer survivorship care for adult cancer survivors. A scoping review was conducted through databases including PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science, and PsycInfo in February 2022, following the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology. Fourteen original research studies were included. Most of the studies were conducted in the USA and targeted oncology registered nurses. The studies primarily focused on the knowledge (n = 2, 14.3%), perception of responsibility (n = 8, 57.1%), and practice (n = 9, 64.3%) regarding survivorship care among oncology nurses, reporting widely varied results. Nine studies reported perceived skills, practice, and perceived barriers as the most used outcome measurements, while two assessed nurses' cancer survivorship care knowledge. The main gaps were discrepancies between oncology nurses' perceptions of responsibility and practices in delivering survivorship care. Lack of time, knowledge, and skills were reported as significant factors impeding survivorship care provision among oncology nurses. Limited research shows a gap in integrating knowledge into survivorship care practices among oncology nurses. Further studies are needed to develop educational programs on survivorship care to support the integration of survivorship care into oncology nurses' practice.

Abstract
Our pilot study aimed to evaluate the needs of community oncology providers with regard to cancer survivorship education, develop a survivorship curriculum based on the needs assessment, and evaluate the acceptability of the Project ECHO® (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) model for delivery of the survivorship curriculum. A needs assessment was delivered to participants in suburban community cancer practices, and a curriculum was developed based on the results. Participants were enrolled in an ECHO curriculum consisting of 6 sessions from October to December 2019. Participants included registered nurses (RN), registered dietitians (RD), clinical social workers (LCSW), advanced practice providers (APP), radiation oncologists, and medical oncologists (MD). Participants were invited to participate in exit interviews designed to better evaluate the participant experience. Ninety percent of needs assessment participants (n = 37) expressed an interest in cancer survivorship education. Eight participants from 3 community practices in suburban Connecticut enrolled in the ECHO curriculum. Four participants (50%) agreed to participate in exit interviews. Five themes emerged from the exit interviews: interest in survivorship, time, positive experience, empowerment, and community. Our Survivorship ECHO pilot demonstrated the acceptability of the Project ECHO® model for delivering cancer survivorship education to oncology providers. Further research confirming the feasibility of this model in additional oncology provider settings is needed.

The future of cancer nursing in Europe: Addressing professional issues in education, research, policy and practice. Eur J Oncol Nurs 2023; 63:102271. [PMID: 36827835 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejon.2023.102271] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2022] [Accepted: 01/22/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2023]
Abstract
Cancer nursing has evolved to meet the demands of rising cancer incidence, newer and more complex treatment options, and the emergence of specialist roles supporting patients from pre-diagnosis, through treatment, survivorship and end of life care. Nurses are involved in direct and in-direct care of people at risk of, and living with and after cancer in diverse contexts. As a result, nurses are positioned to have a significant influence on the processes and outcomes of cancer care, through education, research, policy, practice and leadership. However, nursing and cancer care face challenges, arising from workforce shortages, under-investment in services and under-representation in decision-making. This paper discusses the evolution of cancer nursing across education, policy, research, profession and practice, and sets an agenda for innovation and disruption across these domains to ensure sustainability of cancer care services and care for people living with and after cancer. We argue for the continued advancement of cancer nursing with critical focus on identifying and addressing inequities in role recognition and access to specialist cancer nursing education throughout Europe. Partnership, exchange of learning, and co-design will be central to progressing education, evidence and policy to support future growth in the cancer nursing workforce and embed cancer nurses in research and policy setting at local, national and international levels.

Abstract
The number of cancer survivors is increasing exponentially thanks to early screening, treatment, and cancer care. One of the main challenges for healthcare systems and professionals is the care of cancer survivors and their families, as they have specific needs that are often unmet. Nursing students, as future healthcare professionals, need education to face these new health demands. They will need to develop specific competencies to help them care for and empower this emerging population. The aim of the study was to co-design and validate an educational intervention on long-term cancer survivorship for nursing, through a multidisciplinary panel of experts. Group interviews were conducted with a panel of 11 experts, including eight professionals from different backgrounds (oncology, cancer nursing, pharmacology, and education), a long-term cancer survivor, a family member of a cancer survivor, and a nursing student. The experts validated a pioneer educational intervention to train nursing students in long-term cancer survival. The co-design and validation of the intervention from an interdisciplinary perspective and with the participation of long-term cancer survivors and their families was considered relevant as it included the vision of all the stakeholders involved in long-term cancer survivorship.

Abstract
Purpose People living with and beyond cancer often experience nutrition-related issues and should receive appropriate advice on nutrition that is consistent and evidence based. The aim of this study was to investigate current practice for the provision of nutritional care by healthcare professionals (HCPs) from a UK national survey produced by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Cancer and Nutrition Collaboration. Methods An online survey sent to professional groups and networks included questions on discussing nutrition, providing information, awareness of guidelines, confidence in providing nutritional advice, training and strategies for improving nutritional management. Results There were 610 HCPs who responded including nurses (31%), dietitians (25%), doctors (31%) and speech and language therapists (9%). The majority of HCPs discusses nutrition (94%) and provides information on nutrition (77%). However, only 39% of HCPs reported being aware of nutritional guidelines, and just 20% were completely confident in providing nutritional advice. Awareness of guidelines varied between the different professional groups with most but not all dietitians reporting the greatest awareness of guidelines and GPs the least (p = 0.001). Those HCPs with a greater awareness of guidelines had received training (p = 0.001) and were more likely to report complete confidence in providing nutritional advice (p = 0.001). Conclusion Whilst HCPs discuss nutrition with cancer patients and may provide information, many lack an awareness of guidelines and confidence in providing nutritional advice. To ensure consistency of practice and improvements in patient care, there is scope for enhancing the provision of appropriate nutrition education and training.

Abstract
Introduction: Cancer survivorship care is challenging because little is known about delivering comprehensive and coordinated survivorship care practices (SCP) to patients. The purpose of this study is to examine oncology nurses' perceptions of responsibilities of SCP, confidence levels of SCP, and factors that influence provisions of SCP. Method: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using the Cancer Professional Questionnaire. Analysis was conducted using independent t-test and analysis of variance to examine the differences between variables. Results: Nurses (n = 147) agreed that it was their responsibilities to provide SCP, but the majority lacked the confidence to do so. Significant differences were found in the confidence levels of nurses with different education attainments (p = .004). A lack of time and educational resources were factors impeding SCP. Discussion: Organizational interventions and education programs are needed to ensure that oncology nurses are confident in providing culturally congruent survivorship care in a multicultural country such as Singapore.

Abstract
Embedding online learning within higher education can provide engaging, cost-effective, interactive and flexible education. By evaluating the impact, outcomes and pedagogical influence of online cancer and education, future curricula can be shaped and delivered by higher education providers to better meet learner, health care provider and educational commissioners' requirements for enhanced patient care and service delivery needs. Using the Kirkpatrick's four-level model of educational evaluation, a systematic review of the effectiveness of online cancer education for nurses and allied health professionals was conducted. From 101 articles, 30 papers were included in the review. Educational theory is not always employed. There is an absence of longitudinal studies to examine impact; an absence of reliability and/or validity testing of measures, limited experimental designs taking account of power and few attempts to mitigate bias. There is, however, an emerging innovative use of mobile/spaced learning techniques. Evidence for clinical and educational effectiveness is weak offering insights into experiences and participant perceptions rather than concrete quantitative data and patient-reported outcomes. More pedagogical research is merited to inform effective evaluation of online cancer education, which incorporates and demonstrates a longer-term impact.

Abstract
PURPOSE Worldwide healthcare systems continue to struggle to reduce the unmet needs of a growing population of breast cancer survivors (BCSs). The Cancer Survivor Profile-Breast Cancer (CSPro-BC) survey was developed to address BCS's specific needs. This study aims to produce a culturally adapted French version of the CSPro-BC. METHODS The CSPro-BC(French) was developed through five steps including back translation, use of a multidisciplinary committee, and pretest with BCS (n = 22). Healthcare providers (HCP) (n = 7) from cancer and primary care settings were also interviewed to obtain perceptions of facilitators and barriers to utilization in daily practice. RESULTS BCS were 40-69 years old (50%), ≥ 5 years post-diagnosis (45%), received chemotherapy alone or in combination (73%). Questionnaire instructions were perceived as clear, the number of questions (n = 73) acceptable, the questions non-intrusive and not complicated. Clarity of questions (min = 1; max = 7) ranged from 4 to 7 with a mean score of 5.9 out of 7. HCP perceived the CSPro-BC(French) as useful for improving communication with BCS. However, HCP stressed implementation concerns regarding competencies, BCS acceptability, and limited resources in the healthcare system to meet the identified concerns. CONCLUSIONS CSPro-BC(French) is a credible tool for assessment in Francophone nations. Our study provides an important perspective in the translation method, including both survivors and HCP perspectives. Further research is required to evaluate its psychometric qualities, sensitivity to change and its clinical signification. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS Access to assessment tools specific to French-speaking cancer survivors having a potential to improve support from HCP and self-management capacity for BCS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) is one of the most common complications among women with breast cancer. OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to evaluate the oncology nurses' knowledge about lymphedema assessment, prevention, and management among women with breast cancer, and identify the relationships between oncology nurses' academic qualification, years of experience, and level of knowledge. METHODS A cross-sectional descriptive design was used. A sample of 150 participants from three institutions completed the study surveys. RESULTS 60% (N = 90) of the participants did not pass the knowledge test. 70% (N = 105) of the participants showed lack of knowledge regarding BCRL assessment and examination. The results showed that the participants had knowledge deficit regarding BCRL anatomy, pathophysiology, assessment and examination, risk factors, prevention interventions and precautions, patient education and consultation, and follow-up appointment. Importantly, 96% (N = 144) of the participants reported that they did not receive any continue education regarding BCRL. The results showed that was no significant relationship between years of experience, and level of knowledge (r = 0.25; n = 150; p < 0.51). A significant relationship was found between the nurses' knowledge according to their academic qualifications (𝜒2 = 6.21; p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS The results indicated that there is a need for a structured educational program to improve oncology nurses knowledge regarding BCRL.

Abstract
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Nurse-led care is crucial to improving the effectiveness of cancer prevention, as demonstrated by research. However, barriers to nurse-led cancer preventive care are still prevalent. What are the challenges that impede nurses from providing effective preventive care? How can hospital leaders address these challenges to better engage nurses in preventive care? What should be the focal areas in terms of policy changes and training programs? This article explores those questions. We examine the difficulties nurses have encountered. We identify the barriers yet to be examined extensively. Finally, we propose that many barriers can be addressed through carefully designed nurses' training programs and substantial policy changes. Our data were collected from a Nurse Oncology Education Program survey that included questions on perceived oncology knowledge, current cancer-related preventive practices, and barriers to preventive practices. We identified the barriers for the nurse population studied and opportunities to overcome these barriers.

Abstract
PURPOSE Although many cancer patients benefit from physical activity (PA), healthcare professionals (HCP) still do not promote it routinely. Including different groups of HCP, this study aimed to examine how structural barriers are perceived as impeding by HCP for promoting PA to cancer patients, how the perceptions of structural barriers are associated with promoting PA, and how HCP react to information resources. METHODS A total of 287 physicians in outpatient care, 242 physicians in inpatient care, and 388 oncology nurses completed our questionnaire (paper-pencil or online). Participants assessed nine different structural barriers (on a 4-point Likert Scale) and reported their PA promotion frequency. Further, they could request three different kinds of information resources about PA in oncological settings. RESULTS Across professional groups, more than 70% of HCP indicated that they promoted PA to their cancer patients often or routinely. Oncology nurses indicated that they were more impeded in promoting PA by six structural barriers than physicians (all p < .01). "Not enough time per patient" and "lack of an expert contact person" were associated with a reduced PA promotion in two professional groups (all p < .05). Information resources were requested by 69.5% of the participants: mostly physicians working in outpatient care and especially by those perceiving structural barriers. CONCLUSIONS Although a big proportion of HCP reported that they frequently promoted PA, our findings suggest that HCP still perceive structural barriers. The perception and influence of structural barriers differed between professional groups, pointing to the importance of profession specific guidance.

Abstract
As oncology nurses confront a rapidly evolving field with increased workplace pressure, the integration of evidence-based connected health platforms within practice presents promise. This study explores nurses' perceptions regarding the utility of e-health tools, with a focus on the Oncology Interactive Navigator (OINTM), as a potential contributor to their practice and interactions with patients. Focus groups with oncology nurses were conducted at two time points: prior to exposure to the OINTM (T1, n=8) and four weeks post unrestricted tool access (T2, n=7). Using qualitative constant comparison analysis, three themes emerged: (1) Key factors driving e-health use are multidimensional and evolving; (2) Dual role of e-health in meeting patient needs and supporting practice; (3) E-health as a catalyst for professional development and networking. E-health is appealing to oncology nurses, as it serves to advance practice and support patient care. Future research should explore best practices for optimal clinical implementation among all stakeholders involved.

Abstract
As the number of individuals surviving cancer continues to rise, short- and long-term effects of cancer and its treatment that result in physical, psychosocial, and spiritual needs unique to the care of the cancer survivor has not been addressed in nursing curricula. The Institute of Medicine (IOM, 2005) recommends that all health care providers are educated on the care of cancer survivors. This descriptive qualitative study explored faculty beliefs and practices regarding the inclusion of caring for the cancer survivor in undergraduate nursing curricula. Faculty knowledge of the term "cancer survivor" and their beliefs and practices regarding the placement of theory and clinical experiences on cancer survivorship were explored through face-to-face semi-structured interviews. Qualitative content analysis revealed themes and patterns related to the barriers and facilitators for disseminating information on the gap in content on care of the cancer survivor. Seven themes emerged from the content analysis of the interviews. These were as follows: (1) descriptions of cancer survivorship; (2) beliefs on inclusion of cancer survivorship care within undergraduate nursing curriculum; (3) established content on cancer survivorship care: teaching practices; (4) gaps in content on cancer survivorship care; (5) lack of supportive literature on cancer survivorship care; (6) clinical sites providing opportunities for cancer survivorship care: planned versus unplanned; and (7) barriers and facilitators to the inclusion of cancer survivorship in undergraduate nursing curricula. This study reveals the need for faculty education on the care of cancer survivors and a revision of undergraduate curriculum content.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to assess cancer nurses' perceptions of responsibility, confidence levels and practice in relation to survivorship care for people with a haematological malignancy on completion of treatment. METHODS A prospective cross-sectional survey was conducted. An online survey was distributed to members of two Australian professional bodies. RESULTS A total of 310 cancer nurses participated in the study, representing a response rate of 28%. The participants generally agreed that all survivorship care items were part of their role. Of the 17 survivorship care items, the three items receiving the lowest confidence scores were discussing fertility issues, discussing employment and financial issues and discussing how to identify signs of cancer recurrence. The least performed survivorship care items were discussing fertility issues, communicating survivorship care with primary healthcare team (i.e. general practitioners) and discussing sexuality issues. Older age, more years of experience, having a post-graduate qualification and working in non-metropolitan area were associated with higher levels of perception of responsibilities and confidence (p < 0.05). The top ranked barriers to survivorship care were reported to be lack of end-of-treatment consultation dedicated to survivorship care, time and an appropriate physical space for delivering care. CONCLUSIONS Cancer nurses perceive key aspects of survivorship care to be part of their role, however there remains variations in practice and confidence with respect to implementation of survivorship care practices. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS Interventions that focus on enhancing the capability of cancer nurses and eliminating barriers identified in this study have the potential to improve quality survivorship care provision.

Abstract
Meeting the psychosocial needs of patients with cancer has been recognised as a priority within oncology care for several decades. Many approaches that address these needs have been developed and described; however, until recently much of this work had focused on patients during treatment and end-of-life care. With continued improvement in therapies, the population of cancer survivors who can expect to live for 5 or more years after cancer diagnosis has increased dramatically, as have associated concerns about how to meet their medical, psychosocial, and health behaviour needs after treatment. Guidelines and models for general survivorship care routinely address psychosocial needs, and similar guidelines for psychosocial care of patients with cancer are being extended to address the needs of survivors. In this Series paper, we summarise the existing recommendations for the provision of routine psychosocial care to survivors, as well as the challenges present in providing this care. We make specific recommendations for the integration of psychosocial services into survivorship care.

Abstract
Cancer survivorship is recognised globally as a key issue. In spite of the key role played by nurses in survivorship care, there is an identified gap in nurse's knowledge in this area. This study reports on the development and evaluation of an educational resource for nurses working with people affected by cancer. The resource was designed using adult learning principles and includes a variety of learning materials and point of care resources. A mixed-methods sequential exploratory design was used to undertake an evaluation of the programme. This included the use of online surveys and semi-structured interviews with pilot participants. A total of 21 participants completed an online survey and 11 participants completed a telephone interview. Overall, the participants found the Cancer Survivorship resource to be engaging, practical and intuitive. A major theme emerging from the survey and interview data was that the resource was applicable to practice and useful in developing survivorship care plans. Respondents requested additional information be included on the role of various health professionals working in survivorship as well as guidelines on when to make referrals. This study provides evidence that the Cancer Survivorship tool may be a promising vehicle for delivering evidence-based education on survivorship care.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES To survey nurses about their knowledge of cancer survivorship care. DESIGN Descriptive, cross-sectional. SETTING Midwestern comprehensive cancer center. SAMPLE 223 registered and advanced practice nurses. METHODS Online survey of survivorship knowledge using a 50-item questionnaire derived from the Institute of Medicine report and related publications. MAIN RESEARCH VARIABLES Concepts of survivorship care and common long-term symptoms. FINDINGS Most nurses reported having knowledge about healthy lifestyle habits; more than 50% of nurses reported having knowledge about chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation therapy, as well as side effects of fatigue, depression, limitations of daily activities, and weight gain; less than 50% of nurses reported having knowledge of impact on family, biologic agents, lymphedema, immunizations or vaccinations, and osteoporosis screening; less than 40% of nurses reported having knowledge about marital and partner relationships, osteoporosis prevention and care, sexuality, side effects of bone marrow transplantation, employment issues, and angiogenesis agents; and less than 25% of nurses reported having knowledge on genetic risks, as well as fertility, financial, and insurance issues. CONCLUSIONS Oncology nurses at an academic comprehensive cancer center reported gaps in knowledge consistent with previous studies about knowledge of survivorship care. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING The Institute of Medicine has challenged oncology providers to address cancer survivorship care planning. Gaps in cancer survivorship knowledge are evident and will require focused education for this initiative to be successful.

Abstract
This paper describes the process that nursing, social work, and pharmacy faculty at a state university undertook to develop interprofessional web-based breast cancer education modules for incorporation into required curriculum. Eight web modules initially developed to educate baccalaureate nursing students on breast cancer were revised and expanded at each health professional school to include discipline-specific information pertinent to social work and pharmacy scope of practice. A specialized internet-accessible web-delivered application was constructed consisting of eight reusable learning objects, or modules, including epidemiology, risk factors and screening, diagnosis, staging and grading, treatment, survivorship, disparities, and metastatic breast cancer. These modules were organized for easy integration into existing courses and allowed for an efficient means of providing expert, evidence-based content. Innovative methods to integrate nursing, social work, and pharmacy education are needed to achieve an effective interprofessional educational approach to teaching breast cancer content.

Abstract
With the expansion of genetic testing options due to tremendous advances in sequencing technologies, testing will increasingly be offered by a variety of healthcare providers in diverse settings, as has been observed with BRCA1 and BRCA2 (BRCA) gene testing over the last decade. In an effort to assess the educational needs and preferences of healthcare providers primarily in a community-based setting, we mailed a survey to healthcare providers across Florida who order BRCA testing. Within the packet, a supplemental card was included to give participants the opportunity to request free clinical educational resources from the investigative team. Of 81 eligible providers who completed the survey, most were physicians or nurse practitioners; and over 90 % worked in a community or private practice setting. Respondents provided BRCA testing services for a median of 5 years, but the majority (56 %) reported no formal training in clinical cancer genetics. Most respondents (95 %) expressed interest in formal training opportunities, with 3-day in-person weekend training representing the most highly preferred format. The most widely selected facilitators to participation were minimal requirement to take time off work and continuing education credits. Overall, 64 % of respondents requested free clinical educational resources. Preferences for informal education included written materials and in-person presentations; whereas accessing a DVD or website were less popular. Findings from our study highlight both the need for and interest in ongoing educational opportunities and resources among community providers who order BRCA testing. These results can be used to enhance participation of community-based providers in educational training programs by targeting educational resources to the most preferred format.

Abstract
PURPOSE The use of the word 'survivor' is now widely accepted in academic and clinical oncology culture. However, despite such prevalence, there is limited research exploring the meaning of the term survivor for the very individuals to which the term is applied. The article provides insights on the term survivor from a sub-set of findings taken from a Queensland study exploring the experience of survivorship for individuals diagnosed with a haematological malignancy. METHODS The qualitative study involved in-depth interviews with 50 individuals diagnosed with a haematological malignancy. The interviews were transcribed verbatim, coded and then analysed thematically. RESULTS The results indicated that the majority of participants actively disliked the term and did not embrace the notion of survivor in their post-diagnosis identity. Only a small number actively embraced the term. CONCLUSION The word survivor had a multiplicity of meanings depending on the individual interpretation of the term. RELEVANCE OF MANUSCRIPT TO INFORM RESEARCH, POLICIES AND/OR PROGRAMMES: The clear message from the research is that the term survivor needs to be used with care and sensitivity. The strong recommendation is that caution should be used when applying the term to individuals diagnosed with a haematological malignancy. The naming of support groups and newsletters should be sensitive to the wide range of meanings that individuals bring to this term. Indeed, the findings indicate that many do not identify with the term and require a more appropriate language to respond to their supportive care needs.
