Little is known regarding how non-specialist nurses communicate with patients living with cancer when the patients are receiving care outside of their cancer units/teams. This scoping review aims to identify, examine and report on the currently available evidence about communication by non-specialist nurses when caring for adults living with cancer outside of their cancer care unit/teams.
A scoping review following the JBI methodology for scoping reviews will be conducted. We will search for empirical studies that meet the inclusion criteria in six databases (MEDLINE, PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, Scopus and PsycINFO). Handsearching in references of included articles will be performed to find additional articles. The population of interest will be non-specialist nurses. Three concepts will be explored, namely (1) all adult patients living with cancer, (2) a focus on three stages of the cancer continuum of care (cancer diagnosis, treatment and survivorship) and (3) a focus on communication between non-specialist nurses and patients living with cancer. We will include studies describing all healthcare settings outside patients' specialised cancer units or oncology teams. After article selection, two reviewers will independently screen titles and abstracts and perform a full-text article review, risk of bias assessments and data extraction. A third reviewer will resolve all disagreements. A narrative summary will provide an overview of how the results relate to the research aims and questions. The included articles will be limited to English and published between 2012 and 2023.
No ethical approval is required since we will use publicly available empirical research sources. This review will provide current research on communication by non-specialist nurses with patients with a cancer diagnosis outside of an oncology setting, evidence that will support effective communication. As such, we aim to disseminate the findings in academic conferences and peer-reviewed journals.
对于非专科护士在癌症患者离开其癌症病房/团队接受护理时如何与癌症患者进行沟通，我们知之甚少。本范围综述旨在确定、检查和报告关于非专科护士在癌症病房/团队外照顾癌症患者时的沟通的现有证据。
将按照 JBI 方法学进行范围综述。我们将在六个数据库（MEDLINE、PubMed、CINAHL、Embase、Scopus 和 PsycINFO）中搜索符合纳入标准的实证研究。将对纳入文章的参考文献进行手工搜索，以找到其他文章。感兴趣的人群是非专科护士。将探讨三个概念，即（1）所有患有癌症的成年患者，（2）关注癌症护理连续体的三个阶段（癌症诊断、治疗和生存），以及（3）关注非专科护士与癌症患者之间的沟通。我们将纳入描述所有医疗保健环境的研究，包括患者专门的癌症病房或肿瘤团队之外的环境。在文章选择后，两名评审员将独立筛选标题和摘要，并进行全文文章审查、偏倚风险评估和数据提取。第三名评审员将解决所有分歧。叙述性摘要将概述结果与研究目的和问题的关系。纳入的文章将限于英文，且发表时间在 2012 年至 2023 年之间。
由于我们将使用公开的实证研究资源，因此不需要伦理批准。本综述将提供关于非专科护士在肿瘤学环境之外与癌症诊断患者进行沟通的最新研究，这将为有效的沟通提供证据。因此，我们旨在在学术会议和同行评议期刊上传播研究结果。
