ObjectiveTo identify nursing support provided for the relief of breathlessness in patients with cancer.DesignA scoping review following a standard framework proposed by Arksey and O’Malley.Study selectionElectronic databases (PubMed, CINAHL, CENTRAL and Ichushi-Web of the Japan Medical Abstract Society Databases) were searched from inception to 31 January 2022. Studies reporting on patients with cancer (aged ≥18 years), intervention for relief from breathlessness, nursing support and quantitatively assessed breathlessness using a scale were included.ResultsOverall, 2629 articles were screened, and 27 were finally included. Results of the qualitative thematic analysis were categorised into 12 nursing support components: fan therapy, nurse-led intervention, multidisciplinary intervention, psychoeducational programme, breathing technique, walking therapy, inspiratory muscle training, respiratory rehabilitation, yoga, acupuncture, guided imagery and abdominal massage.ConclusionsWe identified 12 components of nursing support for breathlessness in patients with cancer. The study results may be useful to understand the actual state of nursing support provided for breathlessness in patients with terminal cancer and to consider possible support that can be implemented.

In high-income countries (HICs), supportive care is often implemented to assist cancer patients as they seek treatment and beyond. However, in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs), where more than 70% of all cancer-related deaths occur [1], the provision of supportive care has not been assessed. The purpose of this scoping review is to assess the type of supportive care interventions for cancer patients that are being implemented into practice across the cancer care continuum in LMICs. MethodsWe examined published articles reporting on supportive care interventions in LMICs. Following PRISMA guidelines, we performed a systematic search of PubMed, ERIC, CINAHL, and PsychInfo. We limited the scope to original research studies focused on LMICs, studies that implemented any type of supportive care intervention for adult cancer patients, from diagnosis, treatment, and through survivorship. ResultsThirty-ve studies met the criteria for inclusion in the scoping review. The majority were randomized clinical trials (RCT) or used a quasi-experimental design. The highest number of studies (n=23) were implemented in the WHO Eastern-Mediterranean region, followed by South-East Asia (n=6), Africa (n=4) and Western-Paci c Regions (n=2). Most studies focused on women's cancers and included interventions for psychosocial support, symptom management, health literacy/education, and patient navigation. ConclusionsAlthough only a small number of interventions are being implemented in these settings, our results suggest that providing different types of supportive services in less-resourced settings, even when health systems are fragmented and fragile, can improve mental health, physical health, and the quality of life (QoL) of cancer patients.

“…This report described the implementation of the UHAND Program, a UH and MDA collaboration to create a comprehensive career development training program for scholars underrepresented in the fields of behavioral cancer prevention and cancer disparities research, funded by the NCI’s Partnerships to Advance Cancer Health Equity initiative. The UHAND Program incorporated best practices of successful training programs, such as integrated education (diverse professional teams working together, cross-training, exposure to a broad range of disciplines, an integrated curriculum with different subjects, and a variety of learning methods) [ 29 , 30 , 31 ]; professional development [ 29 ]; collaboration between researchers and advocates [ 24 , 25 ]; collaborative partnerships between institutions [ 32 ]; broad stakeholder engagement [ 25 , 29 ]; targeted approaches for at-risk groups [ 25 ]; training programs at predoctoral, doctoral, and postdoctoral levels [ 30 ]; continuous evaluation data on programmatic impact and outcomes [ 30 ], while uniquely focusing on research and training in behavioral risk factors for cancer—prioritizing diverse women and minority researchers for training—and facilitating knowledge dissemination and translation between researchers and community. This report presents outcomes relative to the 7 goals of the UHAND Program’s work with scholars and information that may be helpful for the design of future training programs that share similar goals.…”

“…The UHAND Program incorporates best practices of successful training programs, such as the use of a variety of learning methods [ 29 , 30 , 31 ] and the continuous evaluation of data on programmatic impact and outcomes [ 30 ]; likewise, it features several relatively unique characteristics, such as collaboration between researchers and advocates [ 24 , 25 ], and between institutions [ 32 ]. Additionally, the UHAND Program prioritizes diverse minority researchers and women for participation, focuses on behavioral risk factors for cancer, and includes knowledge dissemination and translation between researchers and community through social media and other means.…”

Black and Hispanic adults are disproportionately affected by cancer incidence and mortality, and experience disparities in cancer relative to their White counterparts in the US. These groups, including women, are underrepresented among scientists in the fields of cancer, cancer disparities, and cancer care. The “UHAND” Program is a partnership between institutions (University of Houston and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center) aiming to build the capacity of underrepresented and racial/ethnic minority student “scholars” to conduct research on eliminating cancer inequities by reducing social and physical risk factors among at-risk groups. Here, we examine the outcomes of the UHAND Program’s first scholar cohort (n = 1 postdoctoral fellow, n = 3 doctoral scholars, n = 6 undergraduate scholars). Data collection included baseline, mid-program, and exit surveys; program records; and monthly scholar achievement queries. From baseline to exit, scholars significantly increased their research self-efficacy (p = 0.0293). Scholars largely met goals for academic products, achieving a combined total of 65 peer-reviewed presentations and nine empirical publications. Eight scholars completed the 2-year program; one undergraduate scholar received her degree early and the postdoctoral fellow accepted a tenure-track position at another university following one year of training. Scholars highly rated UHAND’s programming and their mentors’ competencies in training scholars for research careers. Additionally, we discuss lessons learned that may inform future training programs.
