Summary
This scoping review maps global paediatric oncology nursing education and training programs. It identifies gaps and variations in content, delivery, and assessment to improve care for children with cancer, especially in low-resource settings.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Oncology Nursing
- Pediatric Oncology
Background:
- High-quality pediatric cancer care requires specialized nursing expertise.
- Survival rates for childhood cancer are lower in low/middle-income countries due to a shortage of specialized oncology nurses.
- Paediatric oncology education and training programs have been developed to address this disparity.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a scoping review of existing literature on paediatric oncology nursing education and training programs.
- To map the content, delivery methods, duration, and assessment modes of these programs.
- To identify potential gaps and areas for improvement in nursing education for pediatric oncology.
Main Methods:
- Systematic literature search across CINAHL, Dimensions, Embase, PubMed, and Scopus (2012-2022).
- Adherence to Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for scoping reviews.
- Two-stage screening process with independent full-text review and data extraction by two reviewers.
Main Results:
- The review will synthesize findings on the characteristics of existing paediatric oncology nursing education and training programs.
- Results will highlight variations in program content, delivery modalities, and evaluation methods.
- Data will be presented through extraction tables and diagrams with a narrative summary.
Conclusions:
- This review will provide a comprehensive overview of the current landscape of paediatric oncology nursing education.
- Findings will inform the development and enhancement of training programs to improve nursing capacity in pediatric oncology.
- The study aims to contribute to better outcomes for children with cancer globally, particularly in resource-limited regions.

The planning phase of the nursing process helps nurses set priorities, outline patient-centered goals and expected outcomes, and tailor nursing interventions to align with the aligned care plan. Through the planning phase, the nurse applies critical thinking skills to align and develop interventions according to the patient's needs. It provides continuity of care allowing patients to receive the maximum benefit from treatment. It serves as a pilot plan for allocating individual staff to a...

Respiratory assessment is a cornerstone of nursing assessments, crucial for the early detection of patient deterioration. This evaluation transcends routine procedures, representing a critical skill nurses must master to ensure optimal patient care.
Objectives and Importance:
The primary goal of respiratory assessment is to evaluate patients at early risk of clinical deterioration. Since respiratory distress often precedes other signs of declining health, breathing patterns and sounds become a...

Cancer survival analysis focuses on quantifying and interpreting the time from a key starting point, such as diagnosis or the initiation of treatment, to a specific endpoint, such as remission or death. This analysis provides critical insights into treatment effectiveness and factors that influence patient outcomes, helping to shape clinical decisions and guide prognostic evaluations. A cornerstone of oncology research, survival analysis tackles the challenges of skewed, non-normally...
