“…(2022) interviewed primary healthcare providers in rural Victoria, Australia to inform elements of a proposed nurse‐led skin cancer care model. Dermoscopic skin cancer screening delivered by a nurse was only utilized in two of the primary research studies (Tan et al., 2022 & Teoh & Oakley, 2022) and was briefly mentioned in two review papers proposed as a prospective approach to improving the outcome of nurse's skin cancer assessments (Jones et al., 2019; Maguire‐Eisen, 2003).…”

AimTo identify the available evidence regarding nursing roles in skin cancer screening and early detection and the reported education and training undertaken to do so.DesignScoping review, reported in accordance with PRISMA‐ScR.Data SourcesA database search of Medline, CINAHL, Scopus, Embase, Emcare and JBI was conducted in November 2021. A grey literature search was conducted in February 2022. Searches were updated in August 2023.Review MethodsThe data were extracted and synthesized into themes related to nursing roles and education.ResultsOf the 2285 identified studies, 54 were included in the review. Nursing roles included screening and early detection, prevention and patient education or counselling. Except for specialized nurse practitioners, nurses working in primary clinical care mostly engage in skin cancer supportive/administrative roles rather than leading collaborators in screening and early detection. The education and training for nurses were identified around themes of didactic education, clinical experience, training in dermoscopy, performance and knowledge assessment and self‐efficacy.ConclusionThe roles and responsibilities of nurses working in skin cancer screening and early detection are highly variable, as are the reported training and education programmes. Little research has been conducted to explore this nursing role or the educational requirements needed for proficiency. With appropriate best practice education, it is within most primary care nurses’ scope of practice to obtain competence in delivering opportunistic skin cancer screening.Impact While most nurse specialists in dermatology will be proficient in dermoscopy and skin cancer screening, nurses who work in general practice are often underutilized due to a lack of opportunity and a clear pathway to becoming proficient in dermoscopic skin cancer screening. Most nurses involved in skin cancer screening are employed in advanced roles, and only a few studies investigating educational interventions utilized dermoscopy among advanced nurses. With specific training, nurses can work within their full scope of practice and increase access to skin cancer screening and early detection.

“…Our project has set the basis for an ongoing collaborative practice agreement for skin cancer screening, between pharmacists from Col·legi de Farmacèutics de Barcelona, the only professional registration body for pharmacists in Barcelona, and dermatologists from Hospital Clínic de Barcelona, one of the most important tertiary hospitals in Spain. In our program, diagnostic is exclusively reserved to TBSE by GP or dermatologists, and pharmacists’ role is genuinely triaging based in well-described skin cancer risk factors 18,19,50,51. The prevalence of these skin cancer risk factors in Barcelona community pharmacy users is described here for the very first time.…”

Background:Skin cancer incidence is increasing alarmingly, despite current efforts trying to improve its early detection. Community pharmacists have proven success in implementing screening protocols for a number of diseases because of their skills and easy access.Objective:To evaluate the prevalence of skin cancer risk factors and the photoprotection habits with a questionnaire in community pharmacy users.Methods:A research group consisting of pharmacists and dermatologists conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study to assess photoprotection habits and skin cancer risk factors by using a validated questionnaire in 218 community pharmacies in Barcelona from May 23rd to June 13th 2016. All participants received health education on photoprotection and skin cancer prevention. Patients with ≥1 skin cancer risk factor were referred to their physician, as they needed further screening of skin cancer.Results:A total of 5,530 participants were evaluated. Of those, only 20.2% participants had received a total body skin examination for skin cancer screening in the past by a physician and 57.1% reported using a SPF 50+ sunscreen. 53.9% participants presented ≥1 skin cancer risk factor: 11.8% participants reported having skin cancer familial history and 6.2% reported skin cancer personal history; pharmacists found ≥10 melanocytic nevi in 43.8% participants and chronically sun-damaged skin in 21.4%. Lesions suspicious for melanoma were reported in 10.9% of the participants and urgent dermatological evaluation was recommended.Conclusions:Pharmacists can detect people with skin cancer risk factors amongst their users. This intervention can be considered in multidisciplinary strategies of skin cancer screening.

“…In some cases, oncology nurses can assist patients by teaching them how to perform a total skin self-exam. 90 Some patients with a history of melanoma, atypical nevi, or large number of common acquired nevi may benefit from total body photography, in which patients are usually provided a copy of their photographs for use in home surveillance. 91,92 Electronic apps that capture and record nevi for subsequent comparison are also available.…”

Objectives To review research and evidence-based resources on skin cancer prevention and early detection and their importance for oncology nurses. Data Sources Journal articles, federal reports, cancer surveillance data, behavioral surveillance data. Conclusion Most cases of skin cancer are preventable. Survivors of many types of cancer are at increased risk of skin cancers. Implications for Nursing Practice Oncology nurses can play an important role in protecting their patients from future skin cancer morbidity and mortality.
