Area of Science:
- Oncology Nursing
- Continuing Education
- Healthcare Professional Development
Background:
- Oncology nursing demands advanced technical and psychosocial skills.
- Identified educational gaps exist among oncology nursing staff.
- Continuing education is a proven method to address these deficiencies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To define essential educational components for continuous oncology nurse training programs.
- To identify key competencies and thematic content for effective cancer nursing education.
Main Methods:
- Bibliographic review conducted in two phases (Oct 2020 - Jan 2021).
- Analysis of major databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Dialnet, Medline) using PRISMA methodology.
- Thematic analysis using DAFO matrix and Hanlon prioritization method.
Main Results:
- Four core competencies for oncology nurses identified: communication, coping, self-direction of learning, and technical health.
- Key training content includes stress/burnout prevention, patient/family communication, and continuous skill development.
- Deficiencies in current nursing staff education were confirmed.
Conclusions:
- Continuing education programs effectively supplement existing knowledge and skills in oncology nursing.
