Purpose:
To identify nursing interventions for the management of adult patients undergoing cardiotoxic oncologic therapy.
Methods:
This scoping review was performed in accordance with the JBI guidelines. The literature search took place between July and August 2022. Studies examining interventions for the management of adult cancer patients undergoing cardiotoxic therapy were included. The characteristics and results of the studies were synthesized and analyzed in a narrative way.
Findings:
In the nine included studies, it was verified that the interventions were implemented to guide the actions of the health team in general rather than specifically nursing staff. Nine nursing interventions related to the Classification of Nursing Interventions were included.
Conclusions:
The nursing interventions identified focused on rigorous cardiovascular surveillance, risk assessment, and actions to identify and mitigate cardiotoxicity.
Implications For Nursing Practice:
It is believed that the implementation of the identified nursing interventions will lead to evidence-based nursing practice and will contribute to the development of care products and processes that assess the cardiological risks and cardiotoxicity.
