Abstract

Purpose of the review: This review advocates for the integration of health coaching into oncology care to enhance outcomes for patients, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and oncology services. Health coaching is a person-centred, supportive process that facilitates navigation through trauma, loss, and change while promoting holistic health, physical, emotional, social, and spiritual. It also supports overcoming depression and anxiety by aiding patients in redefining life priorities for health and fulfilment post-treatment.

Recent findings: Systematic reviews indicate that health coaching can reduce anxiety and depression in cancer patients, conditions linked with increased cancer recurrence and mortality. Consequently, health coaching holds potential not only to improve quality of life but also to influence cancer morbidity and mortality. The authors' view is that health coaching fills an important gap in oncology services, offering a scalable, cost-effective solution to improve patient outcomes across the cancer continuum. With established global standards and clear competencies, health coaching should be integrated as an essential component of oncology care services.

在综合肿瘤学中整合健康指导的案例——需求、结果、模型和标准。

本综述的目的：本综述提倡将健康指导整合到肿瘤护理中，以提高患者、护理人员、卫生保健专业人员和肿瘤服务的预后。健康指导是一种以人为本的支持性过程，有助于通过创伤、损失和改变进行导航，同时促进身体、情感、社会和精神的整体健康。它还通过帮助患者重新定义治疗后健康和实现的生活优先事项来帮助克服抑郁和焦虑。最近的研究发现：系统的评论表明，健康指导可以减少癌症患者的焦虑和抑郁，这与癌症复发和死亡率增加有关。因此，健康指导不仅具有提高生活质量的潜力，而且还具有影响癌症发病率和死亡率的潜力。作者的观点是，健康指导填补了肿瘤服务的一个重要空白，提供了一个可扩展的、具有成本效益的解决方案，以改善整个癌症连续体的患者结果。有了既定的全球标准和明确的能力，健康指导应作为肿瘤护理服务的重要组成部分加以整合。

期刊介绍： This journal aims to review the most important, recently published clinical findings in the field of oncology. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the care of those affected by cancer. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as cancer prevention, leukemia, melanoma, neuro-oncology, and palliative medicine. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
