Introduction: This qualitative literature review explored the intersection of art, creativity, and the nurse-patient relationship in the context of oncology nursing. It delved into the perceptions and reflections of nurses as captured by Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) analysis from two specialized nursing databases.
Methods: The protocol was registered on the Open Science Framework (OSF) Platform.
Article Synopsis
- Purpose of the study was to explore how Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) can help reduce anxiety and distress in cancer patients during chemotherapy, emphasizing the role of nurses who administer the treatment.
- The review was conducted by searching various databases following PRISMA guidelines, resulting in 23 relevant studies being analyzed.
- The findings showed that IVR effectively distracted patients, leading to lower anxiety and distress, which ultimately improved the nursing care process and patient adherence to treatment.
Article Synopsis
- In Italy, the demand for stem cell transplants is higher than the number of available donors, prompting a study on the public's knowledge and attitudes towards stem cell donation.* -
- An online survey was conducted with 1518 participants, revealing that non-donors had significantly less knowledge about donation (51.7% vs 24.4%) and expressed negative feelings like fear and confusion.* -
- The study found that better knowledge correlates with increased willingness to donate, and suggests there is a need for improved awareness strategies around stem cell donation in Italy.*
Article Synopsis
- Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women globally and remains a leading cause of death in Italian women, despite awareness efforts and screening programs.
- A study conducted in Italy with 2,375 women revealed low participation in screening programs and significant confusion about breast cancer risk factors, symptoms, and prevention, particularly among less educated women.
- The study highlights the urgent need for improved health education to provide accurate information about breast cancer to reduce misinformation and increase screening participation.
Background: Literature is lacking when it comes to oncology nursing attitudes in clinical trial involvement.
Objective: To assess how Italian oncology nurses perceived their attitudes in clinical trials involvement.
Methods: An on-line cohort observational study was carried out.
