Advanced breast cancer clinical nursing curriculum: review and recommendations
Purpose The needs and concerns of patients with advanced
breast cancer are changing at every phase of the care
intervention. Management and coordination of hospital
resources and services are also steadily evolving. The
objective of the present expert report is to define a new
oncology nursing role specialising in advanced breast
cancer, to help guide patients throughout the whole
healthcare itinerary.
Methods A group of eight experts in oncology nursing and
medical oncology defined the content index of the curriculum
document. A systematic review of bibliography
was carried out, and the relevant contents were extracted.
Based on these contents and the participants’ experience
recommendations were formulated and validated through a
Delphi questionnaire and a participative meeting.
Results The advanced breast cancer clinical nurse
(ABCCN) should develop a clinical, psychosocial role
focused on coordinating patients in the healthcare network.
The nurse would be in charge of evaluating and supervising
the care administered and the healthcare resources used.
The ABCCN should be aware and participate in the protocols
and available resources, be able to solve conflicts,
deal with burn-out signs and have clinical, coaching and
team-working abilities. The proposed curriculum provides
a specific process for the care of patients, as well as an
implementation process.
Conclusions The ABCCN’s role is crucial to assume the
best care and the optimisation of available resources. This
review and consensus document provides the required tools
for the implementation in hospitalsThe development of this work has been possible thanks to the financial support of Novartis Oncolog
