Advances in early detection and treatment have pushed in a few decades the management of cancers from a management model of the end of life to the management of a chronic disease. This evolution has accelerated the development of supportive care in two directions, firstly towards the best possible support to the end of life in advanced cancer patients (palliative care) and secondly to the limitation of treatment toxicities, the prevention of relapse and the return to life as "normal" as possible (care for after cancer). If palliative care now has a legitimacy and a solid regulatory base, this is not yet the case of supportive care in France. The content and organization differ depending on the institution, the choice of clinicians and patient preferences. Social networks and media convey messages that blur evidence-based practices. This article aims to review the facilitators and obstacles of this perspective.

Objective: Relationships among coworker and patient visibility, reactions to physical work environment, and work stress in ICU nurses are explored.
Background: Millions of dollars are invested annually in the building or remodeling of ICUs, yet there is a gap in understanding relationships between the physical layout of nursing units and work stress.
Methods: Using a cross-sectional, correlational, exploratory, predictive design, relationships among variables were studied in a diverse sample of ICU nurses.

Disseminating research or evidence-based practice is not straightforward. As more clinical nurses, executive nurse leaders, nurse scientists, and faculty contribute to new knowledge, there is an increasing need to support the processes to publish and disseminate manuscripts to advance healthcare. Nurse administrators and leaders are key influencers and supporters to bolster expertise and resources to publish.

Background: Large language models (LLMs) have been proposed as valuable tools in medical education and practice. The Chinese National Nursing Licensing Examination (CNNLE) presents unique challenges for LLMs due to its requirement for both deep domain-specific nursing knowledge and the ability to make complex clinical decisions, which differentiates it from more general medical examinations. However, their potential application in the CNNLE remains unexplored.

Background: Bangladesh and West Bengal, India, are 2 densely populated South Asian neighboring regions with many socioeconomic and cultural similarities. In dealing with breast cancer (BC)-related issues, statistics show that people from these regions are having similar problems and fates. According to the Global Cancer Statistics 2020 and 2012 reports, for BC (particularly female BC), the age-standardized incidence rate is approximately 22 to 25 per 100,000 people, and the age-standardized mortality rate is approximately 11 to 13 per 100,000 for these areas.
