Cancer survivorship has gained increased awareness as a key aspect of cancer care over the past 40 years (Campbell et al., 2019; Halpern et al., 2016; National Research Council et al., 2006; Fitch et al., 2019; Marzorati et al., 2017, Romkey-Sinasac et al., 2021). Individuals living with and beyond gynecologic malignancies face unique cancer-related physical and psychosocial care needs that extend well beyond active treatment (Beesley et al., 2019). Underserved populations experience additional challenges due to intersecting disparities in social determinants of health deeply rooted structural and systemic barriers to healthcare (Canadian Cancer Statistics Advisory Committee, 2023; Helpman et al., 2022). A growing number of individuals will require survivorship care, as cancer incidence and survival rates increase in Canada (Brenner et al., 2024), and novel treatment approaches for gynecological cancers continue to progress (Harris, 2019). Oncology nurses play a pivotal role in providing ongoing assessment, comprehensive care coordination, and advocacy in cancer survivorship care for this population (Campbell et al., 2019; Cook et al., 2017; Horrill, 2022). This article provides an overview of current trends, unique needs, and implications for nursing practice in the care of all individuals living with and beyond endometrial, ovarian, and cervical cancers.
在过去40年里,癌症幸存者护理作为癌症治疗的一个关键方面,已日益受到关注(坎贝尔等人,2019年;哈尔彭等人,2016年;国家研究委员会等人,2006年;菲奇等人,2019年;马尔佐拉蒂等人,2017年;罗姆基 - 西纳萨克等人,2021年)。患有妇科恶性肿瘤及癌症康复后的个体面临着与癌症相关的独特身体和心理社会护理需求,这些需求远远超出了积极治疗阶段(比斯利等人,2019年)。由于健康的社会决定因素中存在交叉差异,即医疗保健存在根深蒂固的结构性和系统性障碍,服务不足的人群面临着更多挑战(加拿大癌症统计咨询委员会,2023年;赫尔普曼等人,2022年)。随着加拿大癌症发病率和生存率的上升(布伦纳等人,2024年),以及妇科癌症的新型治疗方法不断取得进展(哈里斯,2019年),越来越多的个体将需要幸存者护理。肿瘤学护士在为这一人群提供持续评估、全面护理协调以及癌症幸存者护理宣传方面发挥着关键作用(坎贝尔等人,2019年;库克等人,2017年;霍里尔,2022年)。本文概述了子宫内膜癌、卵巢癌和宫颈癌患者及康复者护理中的当前趋势、独特需求以及对护理实践的影响。
