Summary
This Delphi study identified key cancer nursing research priorities in Europe. Top areas include nurse-led care, unmet needs, and workforce development to improve patient outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Oncology Nursing
- Healthcare Research Prioritization
- European Health Systems
Background:
- Effective cancer nursing research requires alignment with regional needs to improve patient outcomes.
- A strategic agenda is crucial for guiding research efforts in cancer nursing within the European context.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a consensus-based strategic agenda for cancer nursing research priorities in Europe.
- To identify key areas for future research to address current challenges in cancer care.
Main Methods:
- A three-round Delphi study involving 81 cancer nursing experts from practice, research, policy, and education.
- Systematic review and expert consultation identified 115 research topics.
- Weighted average rankings and an 80% consensus threshold determined final priorities.
Main Results:
- Consensus was reached on 73 of 123 items (59.3%).
- Highest-ranked thematic areas: nurse-led care models, unmet needs in cancer care, and nurse education/professional development.
- Top specific priorities: oncology nursing workforce sustainability, evaluating nurse-led interventions, and understanding cancer risk factors.
Conclusions:
- A consensus-driven research agenda for European cancer nursing has been established.
- Findings highlight critical areas in workforce sustainability, care models, and prevention.
- The agenda provides guidance for future cancer nursing research to enhance patient outcomes.

6.4K
Mice have long served as models for studying human biology and pathology because of their phylogenetic and physiological similarity with humans. They are also easy to maintain and breed in the laboratory, and hence, many inbred strains are now available for research. Studies on mice have contributed immeasurably to our understanding of cancer biology.
The development of transgenic, knockout, and knock-in mice has led to an exponential increase in their use as model organisms in research,...

3.6K
Nursing interventions are chosen as part of the planning process to achieve patient outcomes. Once nursing diagnoses are determined, the goals and outcomes are specified, then the nursing interventions are selected and individualized according to the patient's situation.
A nursing intervention is a treatment or action based on scientific concepts and knowledge from the nursing, behavioral, and physical sciences. Identifying and prioritizing nursing interventions based on the desired outcome...

01:29Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions
3.1K
Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:

01:15Nursing Evaluation
4.2K
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Nursing involves independent, cooperative, person-centered care for people of all ages, families, groups, and communities. Nurses assist the sick or the well person in all settings. Nursing includes promoting health, preventing illness, and caring for ill, disabled, and dying people. Health promotion encourages people to take responsibility for their health. It focuses on the healthy behavior of individuals, families, and the community and the factors that impact their health. Examples of...
