To discuss the role and challenges of the oncology nurse navigator working within a multidisciplinary team caring for patients with various types of cancers.
Published empirical research and critical analysis articles.
The experienced oncology nurse in the role of navigator has the disease-specific knowledge necessary to provide patient-centered care throughout the cancer continuum and promote positive patient outcomes. The role of the oncology nurse navigator has a positive impact on both the patient and the cancer team by providing continuity of care and improved communication.
Oncology nurse navigators need a concrete definition of their role and function as they serve not only the patient but the cancer care system in which they work. Acknowledging foundational concepts as a guide, programs can then develop and expand. The role needs to be flexible as the health care system changes. Future development of the role can be guided by oncology nurse navigators who evaluate their programs and identify common challenges and system barriers.
讨论肿瘤护士导航员在多学科团队中为各种类型癌症患者提供护理时的作用和挑战。
已发表的实证研究和批判性分析文章。
具有导航员角色经验的肿瘤护士具有提供贯穿癌症全程的以患者为中心的护理以及促进积极的患者结局所需的特定于疾病的知识。肿瘤护士导航员的角色通过提供连续性护理和改善沟通对患者和癌症团队都有积极的影响。
肿瘤护士导航员需要对其角色和职能有一个具体的定义，因为他们不仅要为患者服务，还要为他们所在的癌症护理系统服务。在以此为指导的基础上，项目可以进行开发和扩展。随着医疗保健系统的变化，该角色需要具有灵活性。可以由评估其项目并确定常见挑战和系统障碍的肿瘤护士导航员来指导该角色的未来发展。
