“…Apart from information, ongoing and supportive interaction with healthcare professionals is essential, including alleviation of fears of recurrence or spreading of the disease (Kotronoulas, Papadopoulou, Burns‐Cunningham, Simpson, & Maguire, ). We need reliable information regarding the effectiveness of nursing interventions, such as symptom alleviation and safe medication administration (Griffiths, Richardson, & Blackwell, ). In this study, effectiveness signifies the degree to which something is successful in producing a desired result (Oxford Dictionaries, ).…”

Aims and objectives To explore nursing interventions used among patients with cancer and summarise the results of their effectiveness. The ultimate goal was to improve the quality of care and provide best evidence for clinicians to refer to while developing effective nursing interventions. Background Nursing interventions refer to actions that nurses take with the aim of improving the well‐being of people with cancer‐related health and care needs. A plethora of systematic reviews has been conducted in this research area, although with scattered results. We conducted a comprehensive review to identify and summarise the existing evidence. Methods This overview of systematic reviews adheres to the PRISMA guidelines. The PubMed, CINAHL, MEDLINE and Scopus databases were searched. Nine reviews reporting findings from 112 original studies published 2007–2017 met the selection criteria. The results of intervention effectiveness were analysed using descriptive quantification and a narrative summary of the quantitative data. Results The effectiveness of educational nursing interventions was inconsistent on quality of life (QoL), attitudes, anxiety and distress, but positive on level of knowledge, symptom severity, sleep and uncertainty. Psychosocial nursing interventions had a significant effect on spiritual well‐being, meaning of life, fatigue and sleep. Psychological nursing interventions reduced cancer‐related fatigue. Nursing interventions supporting patients’ coping had a significant impact on anxiety, distress, fatigue, sleep, dyspnoea and functional ability. Activity‐based interventions may prevent cancer‐related fatigue. Conclusions Nursing interventions achieved significant physical and psychological effects on the lives of patients with cancer. Multidimensional nature of interventions by combining different elements reinforces the effect. Priorities for future research include identifying the most beneficial components of these interventions. Relevance to Clinical Practice Implementation of these nursing interventions into clinical practice is important to improve patients’ knowledge and QoL as well as reducing various symptoms and side effects related to cancer and its treatment.

“…Nursing-Sensitive Outcomes (NSO) can be defined as the specific implications for patient health (health situations, behaviours or perceptions) which are related to the quantity and quality of nursing care and which result from nursing interventions (Moorhead et al 2018;Morales Asencio 2004). Health outcomes research involves using NSO in order to analyse the ultimate consequences of nursing care (Griffiths et al 2012).…”

Aim To evaluate the psychometric properties of instruments measuring Nursing‐sensitive Outcomes in acute care hospitals. Introduction Nursing‐sensitive outcomes have been shown to play an active role in the quality of care and cost‐effectiveness of health systems. Tools for assessing nursing‐sensitive outcomes are necessary to evaluate the nurses’ contributions to the health of patients. Methods Psychometric systematic review. The SCOPUS, PubMed, CINAHL, PsychoINFO, EMBASE, Science Direct and Web of Science databases were used. Searches were performed between March and May 2018. A search with screened titles and abstracts, assessment of methodological quality using the COSMIN checklist and risk of bias assessment using QUADAS‐2 were carried out. Results Twenty‐nine studies validated 26 different instruments. The methodological quality, measured with the COSMIN checklist, showed that the studies which assessed fewer psychometric properties had poorer quality. The majority of studies had high quality, and optimally assessed the risk of bias evaluated with QUADAS‐2. Discussion Concerning the focus of the scales, some of them focused on the patients while others focused on the nursing staff. The scales found assessed aspects such as nursing‐care quality, complexity and personalization. Conclusion The majority of studies had a high methodological strength and a thorough validation process. The Nurse Caring Behaviours Scale, the MISSCARE Survey, the Patient Advocacy Engagement Scale and the INICIARE scale were the tools which best combined structure, methodological quality and risk of bias. Implications for nursing and health policy The instruments with the best psychometric properties should be implemented in acute care settings to improve the quality of care, assess the effectiveness of nursing interventions, reduce health expenditure and reduce the occurrence of adverse events.

This position statement has been formulated by nurses from the United Kingdom Oncology Nursing Society (UKONS) to provide guidance on the provision of nurse-led chemotherapy review clinics for adult patients. For the purposes of this statement, a nurse-led chemotherapy clinic is defined as one that conducts formal review (in a consultation room) before the decision to proceed and prescribe the next cycle of chemotherapy. This statement does not address the toxicity checks that take place immediately prior to the administration of chemotherapy, although many of the same principles will apply to both settings.
