To define the role, competencies and clinical focus of specialised breast cancer nurses and to explore post-basic academic training programmes available in Western countries.
A scoping review was reported following the PRISMA-ScR framework and aligned with JBI methodology.
The research question was formulated using the Population, Concept and Context model. Searches were performed across four databases (Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL and Gray Literature) between July and September 2024. Article screening and data extraction were independently performed by two authors. Descriptive analysis was employed to interpret the data.
From an initial 1499 records, 143 studies were selected, with 16 included in the final analysis. The studies, published between 2001 and 2024, evaluated the role of breast cancer nurses in oncology, focusing on their impact on patient care, health outcomes, quality of life, psychological support and breast cancer nurses-led interventions. Two studies assessed educational programmes, identifying a diverse range of postgraduate degrees and specialised training options tailored to meet the specific needs of this essential nursing role.
Breast cancer nurses are crucial in delivering comprehensive care and improving QoL for breast cancer patients. They contribute to enhancing clinical outcomes through patient education and support. Ongoing professional development and expanded education are essential to meet evolving patient needs.
Breast cancer nurses play a pivotal role in improving patient outcomes by delivering education, psychological support and holistic care. To keep pace with the increasing complexity of breast cancer management, it is essential to prioritise expanded academic training and continuous professional development. These efforts will ensure BCNs are well prepared to address evolving patient needs and provide high-quality, comprehensive care.

明确专业乳腺癌护士的角色、能力和临床重点,并探索西方国家现有的基础后学术培训项目。
按照PRISMA-ScR框架并依据JBI方法学进行了一项范围综述。
使用人群、概念和背景模型制定研究问题。于2024年7月至9月期间在四个数据库(Medline、Embase、Cochrane图书馆、CINAHL和灰色文献)中进行检索。由两名作者独立进行文章筛选和数据提取。采用描述性分析来解释数据。
从最初的1499条记录中,筛选出143项研究,最终分析纳入了16项。这些研究发表于2001年至2024年之间,评估了乳腺癌护士在肿瘤学中的作用,重点关注她们对患者护理、健康结局、生活质量、心理支持以及由乳腺癌护士主导的干预措施的影响。两项研究评估了教育项目,确定了一系列不同的研究生学位以及为满足这一重要护理角色的特定需求而量身定制的专业培训选项。
乳腺癌护士在为乳腺癌患者提供全面护理和改善生活质量方面至关重要。她们通过患者教育和支持有助于提高临床结局。持续的专业发展和扩大教育对于满足不断变化的患者需求至关重要。
乳腺癌护士通过提供教育、心理支持和整体护理在改善患者结局方面发挥着关键作用。为了跟上乳腺癌管理日益复杂的步伐,必须优先考虑扩大的学术培训和持续的专业发展。这些努力将确保乳腺癌护士做好充分准备,以应对不断变化的患者需求并提供高质量的全面护理。
