Transition to Cancer Survivorship: A Concept Analysis
1Nursing Program at Adelphi University, Garden City, New York; and Department of Nursing, St Joseph's College, Patchogue, New York.
Abstract:
Transition to cancer survivorship is frequent lexicon denoting the posttreatment phase of cancer treatment. The concept of being in transition to survivorship is not well defined. To critically analyze this concept, data sources (n = 63) (from 1985 to 2016) from nursing, sociology, medicine, and psychology were evaluated employing Rodgers evolutionary method. Transition to cancer survivorship is a turning point with a variable time period one passes through after treatment. It is an individualized experience with degrees of liminality, changes, and challenging consequences. Understanding this concept helps identify patient needs for targeted nursing interventions that can bridge safe passage to cancer survivorship.
