Cancer Survival Analysis01:21

Cancer Survival Analysis

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...
Nursing Ethical Principles II01:27

Nursing Ethical Principles II

Ethical principles are essential in guiding nurses to fulfill their responsibilities, focusing on the quality of nursing care and decision-making. These principles, including autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, and fidelity, shape the ethical framework within healthcare settings.
Consider the following scenario, which illustrates how these principles are applied in the care of Mr. John, a fifty-year-old teacher diagnosed with metastatic liver cancer.
Initially, Mr. John's cancer...
Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine02:50

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...

Cancer Prevention02:59

Cancer Prevention

Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Summary

Shared decision-making (SDM) in cancer care faces challenges due to inconsistent definitions and measurements. Advanced nursing research is needed to standardize SDM and improve patient-centered cancer care.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Health Services Research
  • Nursing Science

Background:

  • Shared decision-making (SDM) is a cornerstone of quality cancer care, yet its implementation is hindered by definitional and measurement inconsistencies.
  • Existing interventions to support SDM have not fully overcome challenges in consistent application and evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a scoping review of the literature on shared decision-making (SDM) in United States cancer care.
  • To map how SDM is defined, implemented, measured, and evaluated within the US oncology setting.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Arksey and O'Malley's scoping review methodology.
  • Searched major databases (PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, Embase) for English-language studies published between 2018 and 2024.
  • Included studies conducted in the US involving cancer patients and SDM.

Main Results:

  • Twenty studies were included, revealing significant inconsistencies in SDM definitions and operationalization.
  • Variability was noted in the use of SDM support tools and measurement approaches, hindering standardization and comparability.
  • Family caregivers were inconsistently recognized as key stakeholders in the SDM process.

Conclusions:

  • Persistent gaps exist in the conceptualization, measurement, and scope of SDM in cancer care.
  • There is a critical need for advanced nursing research to standardize SDM definitions and expand its implementation across diverse settings.
  • Addressing these gaps is crucial for advancing equitable and patient-centered cancer care decision-making.
