To review the evolution and current status of patient navigation in cancer care settings, discuss challenges as navigation evolves, and suggest education and research needs to optimize outcomes associated with navigation processes and nurse navigator roles.
Literature review, association publications, and government and non-governmental documents.
Since its inception over two decades ago, navigation programs have been established in hospitals in the United States, Canada, Australia, and other nations. Despite wide-spread implementation, challenges remain in defining the navigator processes and navigator roles, preparation, qualifications, and job descriptions. Scientific efforts are needed to craft and codify these definitions.
Nurses and organized nursing must identify the needs reflected by the navigation processes and support role delineation, identification, and validation of educational curriculum and competencies.
回顾癌症护理环境中患者导航的演变和现状，讨论随着导航的发展所面临的挑战，并提出教育和研究需求，以优化与导航流程和护士导航员角色相关的结果。
文献回顾、协会出版物以及政府和非政府文件。
二十多年前，导航计划在美国、加拿大、澳大利亚和其他国家的医院中建立。尽管已经广泛实施，但在定义导航流程和导航员角色、准备、资格和工作描述方面仍存在挑战。需要进行科学努力来制定和编纂这些定义。
护士和有组织的护理必须确定导航流程所反映的需求，并支持角色描述、确定和验证教育课程和能力。
