Questions about the suitability of traditional outpatient follow-up clinics as a way of providing on-going monitoring for patients following serious illness have led to the development of a range of nurse-led services. However, there has been little attempt to draw some of this knowledge together formally and consider the weight of evidence on the necessity and value of nurse-led follow-up.
To provide a review of literature evaluating the impact of nurse led follow-up in cancer care, with particular focus on the use and value of telephone interventions.
A literature search was conducted of nursing, medical and social science databases and the following keywords: cancer follow-up, nurse-led follow-up, telephone follow-up, telephone-based interventions and telephone survey. The search yielded over 150 papers, of which 37 were relevant to this review.
The literature suggests that nurse-led follow-up for people with cancer meets their needs for psychological support and information. The telephone is identified as a suitable means of providing this kind of service.
This review demonstrates that nurse-led follow-up services are acceptable, appropriate and effective. Combined with use of the telephone, such services can be an efficient means of maintaining contact with a large client group, providing vital support to vulnerable patients during their move into aftercare and beyond.
对于传统门诊随访诊所作为重病患者持续监测方式的适用性问题，促使了一系列由护士主导的服务的发展。然而，几乎没有人尝试正式整合这些知识，并考虑关于护士主导随访的必要性和价值的证据权重。
对评估护士主导随访在癌症护理中的影响的文献进行综述，特别关注电话干预的使用和价值。
对护理、医学和社会科学数据库进行文献检索，并使用以下关键词：癌症随访、护士主导随访、电话随访、基于电话的干预和电话调查。检索结果超过150篇论文，其中37篇与本综述相关。
文献表明，护士主导的癌症患者随访满足了他们对心理支持和信息的需求。电话被认为是提供此类服务的合适手段。
本综述表明，护士主导的随访服务是可接受的、恰当的且有效的。结合电话的使用，此类服务可以成为与大量客户群体保持联系的有效方式，在弱势患者进入后续护理及之后的阶段为他们提供至关重要的支持。
