A team of researchers from Spain conducted the study and published their findings in the European Journal of Oncology Nursing.<\/p>\n
Investigators sought to map and synthesize readily available educational interventions, including their characteristics, reported outcomes, feasibility, and measurement methods, as person-centered care is a crucial component of practice among oncology nurses and other HCPs in the field.<\/p>\n
A scoping review was performed in accordance with Joanna Briggs Institute methodological framework and PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews) guidelines.<\/p>\n
Data to inform the scoping review, which included \u201cprimary literature published in English or Spanish between 2014 and 2025\u201d was collected from a variety of medical sources, such as PubMed, Cochrane, Web of Science, Bielefeld Academic Search Engine, Open Access Theses and Dissertations, CINAHL, PsycINFO, TRIP, and ProQuest.<\/p>\n
Investigators explained that the primary research that was analyzed reported on \u201ceducational interventions targeting healthcare professionals in oncology settings and focusing on interpersonal skills.\u201d<\/p>\n
While the thematic synthesis evaluated intervention characteristics and reported outcomes, investigators also conducted a critical appraisal.<\/p>\n
A total of 1,511 sources were searched for eligible literature, and investigators ultimately included \u201c29 reports representing 25 studies\u201d in the scoping review. Results of the scoping review uncovered that 90% of reports \u201cemphasized the importance of interpersonal skills for person-centred practice,\u201d but investigators highlighted that only one report \u201cwas explicitly grounded in a conceptual framework.\u201d<\/p>\n
Educational interventions that were analyzed in the eligible literature commonly used \u201csimulation and role play\u201d to address concepts such as \u201cemotional intelligence (21%), communication (55%) and negotiation (24%).\u201d<\/p>\n
Furthermore, the findings showed that reported outcomes \u201cwere predominantly evaluated at Kirkpatrick\u2019s learning level and demonstrated positive effects on skill acquisition and professional confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n
Investigators also observed that there were few assessments analyzing \u201clong-term behavioural change and patient-level outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite the importance of interpersonal skills for oncology nursing and HCP practice, which investigators described as \u201ccentral to therapeutic relationships in oncology care,\u201d the scoping review found a lack of \u201ctheoretical grounding\u201d in the existing literature on educational interventions to enhance interpersonal skills.<\/p>\n
Investigators offered recommendations \u201cto address these limitations\u201d and improve clinical oncology practice overall, which included \u201ca stepped pedagogical framework integrating emotional intelligence, communication and negotiation within person-centred practice.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A team of researchers from Spain conducted the study and published their findings in the European Journal of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":619408,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[163,85,46],"class_list":["post-619407","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-health","tag-health","tag-il","tag-israel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/619407","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=619407"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/619407\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/619408"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=619407"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=619407"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=619407"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
