ABSTRACT
Background:
This integrative review aimed to quantify the publication output of South African cancer nursing research conducted between 2002 and 2012 and to identify key trends relevant to cancer nurse researchers.Objectives:
To describe the publication output of cancer nursing research in terms of the journals of publication; authors; focus; participants and methods used; to explore whether the published work was funded and to assess the quality of the studies published.Methods:
An integrative review was conducted using the key words South Africa in combination with cancer nursing and oncology nursing to search the databases Pubmed; PsycINFO; CINAHL; Sabinet; Web of Science; Medline and OvidSP. A data extraction sheet was developed to document the required information from each paper and all publications were reviewed independently by the authors.Results:
A total of 181 publications for potential inclusion were identified and 26 papers were included in this review. Cervical cancer; specifically the prevention of this disease; was the most popular diagnostic focus and theme of investigation. Most of the studies were descriptive and none of the studies met the criteria of the highest quality.Conclusion:
Nursing added to the body of knowledge regarding the primary and secondary prevention of cancer. There is a need for work on both men and women diagnosed withthe most common cancers; as well as the family and care giver. There is also a need for multidisciplinary work using complex interventions focusing on symptom management to improve patientoutcomes:
