Background: Living with cancer causes stress for both patients and caregivers. Empowering family caregivers is critical in palliative care. It is well known that a lack of proper knowledge and training of informal caregivers is a barrier to palliative care provision at home. Objectives: This scoping review aimed to explore palliative care education to enhance informal caregiver skills in caring for cancer patient. Methods: A scoping literature review was conducted with systematic searches in multiple databases – PubMed, Cochrane, PsycINFO and SCOPUS (2000 to 2021). Studies were selected based on programmes content and its impact evaluation.  Findings: The remaining 181 citations were examined at full-text level; 173 studies did not meet inclusion criteria, yielding eight included papers. Four papers focused on palliative care educational programs for family caregivers, and four papers included patients and caregivers. There was a diverse variation in the mode of delivery and duration of educational input. The programs offered an insight into the main elements of working with individuals at a palliative care bundle. Most studies reported that participants improved their knowledge, self-efficacy, and competency and prepared for their roles. Conclusion: The findings indicate the need of family caregivers for more regular and reliable palliative education programs. Randomized controlled trials with rigorous randomization processes, more significant sample numbers and more appropriate control groups focused explicitly on caregiver education may improve the evidence.

Latar Belakang: Kanker salah penyakit kronis yang mematikan di dunia. Upaya perawatan pasien kanker dilakukan untuk mencegah terjadinya komplikasi. Salah satu komplikasi yang sering timbul pada pasien kanker adalah infeksi. Perkembangan pengendalian infeksi berperan penting dalam kemajuan pengobatan kanker. Berbagai upaya dapat dilakukan untuk pencegahan dan pengendalian infeksi pada pasien kanker.Tujuan: Mengetahui tindakan-tindakan pengendalian infeksi pada pasien dengan kankerMetode: Systematic literature review menggunakan database Clinical Key dan Pubmed. Keyword yang digunakan Cancer Patient OR Chemoteraphy Patient AND Infection Control AND Reduce the spread of infectionHasil: Empat artikel memenuhi kriteria inklusi. Artikel yang dianalisis dipublikasikan pada tahun 2011‒2021. Metode dalam 1 artikel penelitian yaitu rancangan quasi eksperimen. Pengendalian infeksi pasien kanker yaitu kebersihan tangan, penggunaan APD, menempatkan pasien di ruang terpisah, pemilihan antibiotik & antifungal profilaksis pada keganasan hematologis, pengendalian lingkungan yang baik dan tepat, dan pemberian edukasi serta penerapan bundle pencegahan infeksi pada kateter.Kesimpulan: Kanker merupakan salah satu penyakit di mana pasien mengalami defisiensi imun dan merupakan sasaran utama berbagai penyakit infeksi sehingga memerlukan upaya untuk mengontrol infeksi pada pasien dengan kanker. Pengendalian infeksi pada pasien kanker yaitu kebersihan tangan, prinsip diet, Antibiotik and Antifungal Prophylaxis, Protective Environment, perlindungan isolasi, dan infeksi terkait kateter
