Cancers have become the primary cause of death among Chinese residents, seriously affecting their health and life. Oncology nursing is a specialized nursing practice focusing on cancer education, prevention, screening, early detection, and palliative and hospice care. China has made tremendous progress in developing oncology nursing. However, to ensure more individuals can get cancer care, the country's healthcare system still confronts several problems in oncology nursing that need to be addressed to ensure that more individuals can receive cancer care. This article reviews the current development of oncology nursing in China, especially in pain symptom control, palliative care, end-of-life care, education and training. The challenges faced in oncology nursing in China and the suggestions for developing oncology nursing in China are also discussed and proposed in this review. The growth of research on oncology nursing by Chinese nursing scholars and concerned policymakers is anticipated to ultimately improve oncology nursing and the quality of life of patients with cancer in China.
癌症已成为中国居民死亡的主要原因，严重影响了他们的健康和生命。肿瘤护理学是一种专注于癌症教育、预防、筛查、早期发现以及姑息治疗和临终关怀的专业护理实践。中国在发展肿瘤护理学方面取得了巨大进展。然而，为了确保更多人能够获得癌症护理，中国的医疗保健系统在肿瘤护理方面仍然面临一些问题，需要加以解决，以确保更多人能够接受癌症护理。本文综述了中国肿瘤护理学的现状，特别是在疼痛症状控制、姑息治疗、临终关怀、教育和培训方面。本文还讨论并提出了中国肿瘤护理面临的挑战以及发展中国肿瘤护理学的建议。中国护理学者和相关政策制定者对肿瘤护理研究的重视有望最终改善中国的肿瘤护理和癌症患者的生活质量。
