Enhancing Breast Cancer Survivorship Care: The Role of Nurses in Post-Treatment Follow-Up-A Scoping Review.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimTo examine the role of nurses in providing post-treatment follow-up care to breast cancer survivors, and to assess the impact of this care on survivors' satisfaction.
methodsScoping review. DATA SOURCES: An electronic literature search from PubMed and CINAHL databases was conducted, covering the period from 2013 to November 2023.
resultsTwenty-seven articles were included in this review, highlighting key areas in which nurses play essential roles in the provision of post-treatment care for breast cancer survivors. The identified nursing roles include the surveillance and early detection of relapses, the assessment and support of self-management for late physical and psychosocial effects of cancer, health promotion and care coordination. Regarding satisfaction, survivors reported high overall satisfaction with nursing care. However, satisfaction levels varied with regard to specific needs, particularly in managing the fear of recurrence.
conclusionsNurses play a fundamental role in delivering post-treatment care to breast cancer survivors. However, evidence regarding their specific contributions and survivors' satisfaction with long-term care remains limited, underscoring the need for further research to enhance care during the long-term survivorship phase. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION: Consolidating the diverse roles of nurses in post-treatment care into a unified framework could support comprehensive and personalised care, addressing unmet needs. Evaluating patient satisfaction with nursing follow-up helps identify effective interventions and areas for improvement in future research. IMPACT: This review analyses the diverse roles of nurses in the follow-up care of breast cancer survivors and highlights the impact of nursing care on patient satisfaction. REPORTING
methodThis study adhered to the PRISMA-ScR reporting guidelines. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution.
