Abstract

There is a need to study the impact of nursing care in psychosocial treatment in developing countries. The aim is to emphasize the importance of psychooncological education for oncology nurses in order to identify and create a framework for implementation. A systematic review was conducted. The literature was searched for in the Medline database. The inclusion criteria were articles in English published in the last five years within the Web of Science Category: Nursing. After filtering articles by the inclusion criteria, 107 results were found, and this review includes 14 articles. Psychosocial interventions positively affect the progression of illness, psychosocial condition, symptoms, treatment and side effects. However, nurses have little opportunity to receive education on the psychological care. Therefore, in the field of psychooncological nursing care, it is necessary to improve the education and training systems for psychological assessment and stress management.
