Abstract

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to analyze and identify recent trends of published research in Asian Oncology Nursing (AON).
METHODS
A total of 140 studies were analyzed using a tool developed by the researchers, focusing on research design, research subject, research themes, and type of interventions and outcome variables of experimental studies.
RESULTS
AON lacked studies which were supported by research funds (27.9%), or used an experimental study design (10.0%). In particular, there were only 2 studies (1.4%) conducted with randomized controlled trials (RCT). Research subjects were various, including patients with cancer, family care givers, healthy population, and oncology nurses. Based on a framework of cancer control continuum, most studies addressed issues of the treatment phase, whereas few studies addressed issues of diagnosis, survivorship, or the end-of-life (EOL) phase. Regarding research themes, psychosocial nursing including quality of life, anxiety, and depression was most frequently reported. In the experimental studies, an education program was most frequently applied and psycho-social-spiritual variables and symptoms were most frequently used to evaluate the effects of the intervention.
CONCLUSION
The results suggest that further expansion of RCT and studies regarding diagnosis, survivorship, and EOL phases are needed. Also, our findings may contribute toward the development of a Korean oncology nursing research agenda.
