Rapport between nurses and adult patients with cancer in ambulatory oncology care settings: A scoping review.

Background: Although the importance of the nurse-patient relationship in oncology is established, a consolidated body of research describing nurse-patient rapport, especially in ambulatory care, is lacking.

Objectives: This scoping review aimed to explore knowledge about rapport between adult patients with cancer and their nurses in ambulatory oncology care, including nurse, patient, nurse-patient dyad, and system-level factors that influence rapport.

Methods: A scoping review was conducted to explore sources of evidence and gaps in knowledge pertinent to future research.
