Abstract
Introduction: Immunotherapy is revolutionizing oncological treatment, but its unique toxicity profile emphasizes the need for multidisciplinary teams involving nurses. In the absence of guidelines tailored for nurses, a comprehensive guide focusing on patient history and care is presented.
Objective: To outline the methodology for creating a practical guide for nurses, aimed at improving care for patients undergoing oncologic immunotherapy by focusing on comprehensive support and complementing pharmacological treatment.
Method: A guide was developed following Evidence-Based Nursing principles, with the involvement of experts from Spanish oncology scientific societies. Through evidence searches, external review, and editing, robust and applicable recommendations were ensured.
Results: The guide focuses on toxicity management, incorporating an algorithm for its handling, along with detailed descriptions and recommendations for early symptom identification from the nursing perspective.
Conclusion: The guide emphasizes the essential role of oncology nurses in immunotherapy, highlighting their contribution from advanced roles. Endorsed by scientific societies, it serves as an evidence-based resource.
