          Abstract

          RESUMEN Introducción: El cáncer es una enfermedad prevalente en Latinoamérica. Los profesionales de enfermería deben reconocer las prioridades y desarrollos relacionados con la investigación en torno al cuidado de la persona con cáncer. Objetivo: Describir las tendencias investigativas de enfermería en personas con cáncer de estudios publicados en las 10 mejores revistas de investigación en Enfermería en Latinoamérica. Métodos: Se realizó una revisión de literatura tipo exploratoria. Se buscó información en las 10 mejores revistas clasificadas en Scimago Journal & Country rank para 2020, organizadas en los cuartiles Q1 a Q4, durante el período 2016-2020 usando los términos cancer patients, oncology patient, patients with cancer, cancer. Se seleccionaron 67 investigaciones después de hacerse el proceso de crítica de la evidencia. De la revisión emergieron los siguientes temas: significado de la experiencia del proceso de enfermedad y tratamiento, calidad de vida de la persona con cáncer en Latinoamérica, impacto del cáncer sobre la dimensión física y psicosocial, afrontamiento ante la enfermedad y percepción de la atención del cuidado de enfermería. Conclusiones: Los estudios analizados evidenciaron dos principales tendencias en investigación de enfermería en Latinoamérica relacionadas con el tipo de cáncer y el fenómeno de investigación.

          ABSTRACT Introduction: Cancer is a prevalent disease in Latin America. Nursing professionals must recognize the priorities and developments related to research about the care of the person with cancer. Objective: To describe the research trends in nursing about people with cancer, based on studies published in the top ten nursing journals from Latin America. Methods: A scoping review of the literature was carried out. Information was sought in the top ten journals according to the Scimago Journal & Country rank for 2020, organized in the quartiles Q1 to Q4, during the period 2016-2020. The terms cancer patients, oncology patient, patients with cancer, cancer were used. Sixty-seven research papers were selected after the evidence critique process was done. The following topics emerged from the review: meaning of the experience of the disease and treatment process, quality of life of the person with cancer in Latin America, impact of cancer on the physical and psychosocial dimension, coping with the disease, and nursing care perception. Conclusions: The analyzed studies showed two main trends in nursing research in Latin America related to type of cancer and the research phenomenon.

          Systematic review or scoping review? Guidance for authors when choosing between a systematic or scoping review approach

          Background Scoping reviews are a relatively new approach to evidence synthesis and currently there exists little guidance regarding the decision to choose between a systematic review or scoping review approach when synthesising evidence. The purpose of this article is to clearly describe the differences in indications between scoping reviews and systematic reviews and to provide guidance for when a scoping review is (and is not) appropriate. Results Researchers may conduct scoping reviews instead of systematic reviews where the purpose of the review is to identify knowledge gaps, scope a body of literature, clarify concepts or to investigate research conduct. While useful in their own right, scoping reviews may also be helpful precursors to systematic reviews and can be used to confirm the relevance of inclusion criteria and potential questions. Conclusions Scoping reviews are a useful tool in the ever increasing arsenal of evidence synthesis approaches. Although conducted for different purposes compared to systematic reviews, scoping reviews still require rigorous and transparent methods in their conduct to ensure that the results are trustworthy. Our hope is that with clear guidance available regarding whether to conduct a scoping review or a systematic review, there will be less scoping reviews being performed for inappropriate indications better served by a systematic review, and vice-versa.

            Guidance for conducting systematic scoping reviews.

            Reviews of primary research are becoming more common as evidence-based practice gains recognition as the benchmark for care, and the number of, and access to, primary research sources has grown. One of the newer review types is the 'scoping review'. In general, scoping reviews are commonly used for 'reconnaissance' - to clarify working definitions and conceptual boundaries of a topic or field. Scoping reviews are therefore particularly useful when a body of literature has not yet been comprehensively reviewed, or exhibits a complex or heterogeneous nature not amenable to a more precise systematic review of the evidence. While scoping reviews may be conducted to determine the value and probable scope of a full systematic review, they may also be undertaken as exercises in and of themselves to summarize and disseminate research findings, to identify research gaps, and to make recommendations for the future research. This article briefly introduces the reader to scoping reviews, how they are different to systematic reviews, and why they might be conducted. The methodology and guidance for the conduct of systematic scoping reviews outlined below was developed by members of the Joanna Briggs Institute and members of five Joanna Briggs Collaborating Centres.

              Impact of breast cancer and quality of life of women survivors

              ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the impact of breast cancer and the quality of life of women survivors and to identify associations between sociodemographic and clinical variables. Method: This was a cross-sectional, analytical, quantitative study conducted with women receiving outpatient post-treatment care at a public institution of the city of São Paulo, state of São Paulo, Brazil. Instruments: sociodemographic and clinical questionnaires; Impact of Cancer scale; Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast Cancer scale. Descriptive and analytical statistical analysis were performed. Results: One hundred women were included in the study with a mean age of 60 years (SD = 11.3); most with less than 5 years of follow-up, low purchasing power, and low education levels. Negative Impact of Cancer: Health Worry, Body Changes, Feelings, and Meaning of Cancer. Quality of life: 81.9 (18.3), specific: 105.6 (24.6). The following subscales of the impact of cancer scale predicted lower quality of life scores: Body Changes, Negative Self-Evaluation, and Concerns about Cancer (p <0.05). Conclusion: Although they presented high scores for quality of life, patients reported negative impacts of cancer, enhanced by vulnerabilities.
