- Elevating elderly Cancer care: a systematic review of advanced practice nursing's role in senior oncology patients' quality of lifePublication . Useche-Guerrero, Cristian-David; Merino-Godoy, María-de-los-Ángeles; Barroso-Márquez, Eva-María; Costa, Emília Isabel; Camacho Bejarano, Rafaela; Gago-Valiente, Francisco-JavierBackground. According to projections based on current trends, it can be anticipated that from 2024 onward, approximately 70% of all cancer cases will be diagnosed in individuals 65 years and older. Given this complex intersection between population ageing and cancer incidence, it is of great importance to address this issue from a comprehensive care perspective. Here comes the importance of advanced practice nurse into play. However, this fgure is still not sufciently valued in many countries. Its roles are also not clearly defned at the international level. For this reason, a systematic review of the scientifc literature was carried out to analyze the impact of advanced practice nurse on the quality of life of older adults with cancer. Methods. Searches were carried out in PubMed, Web of Science (WoS), Scopus, CINAHL, LILACS, and ScienceDirect databases. Tey were limited to studies conducted in the last 7 years. Only open-access articles were selected. To analyze the chosen articles and assess their quality, the criteria of the PRISMA and CASPe statements were applied. All authors participated in both the selection of the articles and their analysis. Results. Of the initial 58 articles selected, a total of 10 articles were fnally included, as they met the eligibility criteria established after further analysis. Te results show a positive relationship between the advanced practice nurse intervention and quality of life in older adults with cancer. Conclusions. Advanced practice nurse (APN) plays a key role in the care of older adults with cancer, signifcantly improving their quality of life and contributing to the comprehensive care of these patients. Te fndings evidenced in this work support the integration of APNs in cancer care teams to improve patient experience and overall well-being.
- An evaluation of the NANDA international, inc., diagnostic classification among spanish nurses: a cross-sectional studyPublication . Rodríguez Suárez, Claudio Alberto; Mariscal Crespo, María Isabel; Hernández de Luis, María Naira; Costa, Emília Isabel; González de la Torre, Héctor; Camacho Bejarano, RafaelaBackground/Objectives: The NANDA International, Inc., (NANDA-I) diagnostic classification is the most widely used standardized nursing language internationally. The EVALUAN-I tool was developed to evaluate the NANDA-I diagnostic classification. The aim was to analyze the use of the NANDA-I diagnostic classification among Spanish nurses and assess its correlation with sociodemographic characteristics. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on a non-probabilistic sample of Spanish nurses working in clinical, management, and academic settings using the EVALUAN-I tool (September 2019-December 2020). The analysis was conducted using R (R) (version 3.6.3, Lavaan package; R Core Team, 2020), with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. This study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee (2019-190-1). Results: A total of 483 responses were obtained. There was a correlation between the intensity of use of NANDA-I and its application in practice (polychoric correlation = 0.50; p < 0.001). Nurses with a PhD degree considered nursing diagnoses to be less evidence-based (p = 0.037) but more useful (p = 0.035). Academic and research nurses stated that NANDA-I was more useful (p = 0.007), even for exclusive responsibilities (p = 0.034), and that it provided greater significance to diagnoses (p = 0.0012). Conclusions: NANDA-I is the most widely used standardized nursing language in Spain. Nurses' academic qualifications and work environment significantly influence their perceptions and use of NANDA-I. Advanced education fosters a critical yet positive perspective, highlighting a relationship between the intensity of its use, its application in clinical practice, and the nurse's educational background. Tools such as EVALUAN-I promote its integration and evidence-based practice, but challenges remain in improving perceptions, scientific evidence, and visibility in electronic health records to enhance its clinical impact and nursing recognition.
