Abstract
VALENCIA RICO, Claudia Liliana et al. Lung Cancer, Trends from a Care Perspective. Revista urug. enferm. (En línea) [online]. 2022, vol.17, n.2, e504. Epub Dec 01, 2022. ISSN 2301-0371. https://doi.org/10.33517/rue2022v17n2a6.
Objective:
identify trends in lung cancer research over the past five years from a nursing care perspective.
Method:
bibliometric and exploratory review based on the web of science database. The descriptors, lung neoplasm and nursing care were used with application of filters, obtaining a total of 62 articles published between the years 2017-2021. The bibliometric analysis was performed using bibliometrix with the total number of documents obtained; 30 articles describing the main thematic trends identified in the conceptual structure were used for the exploratory analysis.
Results:
bibliometric indicators show an average publication rate of 12 articles per year, with a predominance of publications with a quantitative approach (66.7 %) and a low level of evidence (56.7 %). The highest number of articles published per source and author was 4. The exploratory results show five relevant topics related to: lung cancer diagnosis, symptoms, palliative care, quality of life and advanced nursing practice.
Conclusion:
it is possible to identify publications that emphasize the aforementioned topics, with a low level of evidence and with few interventions carried out by nurses. The studies focus on symptom control and end-of-life care.
