PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES: To critically evaluate and synthesize intervention research related to hot flashes in the context of cancer and to identify implications and future directions for policy, research, and practice.
Published, peer-reviewed articles and textbooks; editorials; and computerized databases.
Although a variety of pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatments are available, they may not be appropriate or effective for all individuals.
The large and diverse evidence base and current national attention on hot flash treatment highlight the importance of the symptom to healthcare professionals, including oncology nurses.
Using existing research to understand, assess, and manage hot flashes in the context of cancer can prevent patient discomfort and improve the delivery of evidence-based care.
目的/目标：批判性地评估和综合癌症背景下与潮热相关的干预研究，并确定其对政策、研究和实践的启示及未来方向。
已发表的、经过同行评审的文章和教科书；社论；以及计算机化数据库。
尽管有多种药物和非药物治疗方法可用，但它们可能并不适用于所有个体，也不一定对所有个体都有效。
大量且多样的证据基础以及当前国家对潮热治疗的关注凸显了该症状对包括肿瘤护士在内的医疗保健专业人员的重要性。
利用现有研究来理解、评估和管理癌症背景下的潮热，可以防止患者不适，并改善循证护理的提供。
