A systematic study of nursing interventions for the gynecologic cancer among women

Background: This study systematically reviewed nursing interventions for women with gynaecological cancers to provide empirical evidence for developing evidence-based, patient-centered nursing care. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted across both domestic and international databases, including PubMed, Embase, CINAHL Database, Cochrane, ProQuest, DBpia, the Korean Studies Information Service System (KISS), and the Research Information Sharing Service (RISS). The search covered studies published from January 2015 to February 2024 and utilized MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) terms, such as “gynaecological cancer” and “nursing intervention”. Seven randomized controlled trials and clinical trials with control groups were selected. The types, components, outcome measures, and study designs of the nursing interventions were analyzed using the Population, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcome (PICO) framework. Results: Identified nursing interventions included exercise therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, telemedicine, sexual health programs, and reflexology. Common outcome measures were anxiety, depression, fatigue, pain, sexual dysfunction, self-efficacy, and quality of life. Nurse-led interventions, particularly those focusing on sexual rehabilitation and psychosocial support, demonstrated significant improvements in patient outcomes. Conclusions: Nursing interventions have proven effective in improving symptom management, psychological well-being, sexual health, and quality of life in women with gynaecological cancer. Future research should focus on standardizing intervention protocols, conducting multicenter clinical trials, and integrating qualitative research to enhance the evidence base.
