Abstract
Background: Women receiving palliative chemotherapy for breast cancer have various support needs.
Aims: To identify and describe the nurse-led interventions implemented to support women receiving palliative chemotherapy for breast cancer.
Methods: The five-stage framework by Arksey and O'Malley guided the review. The following databases were searched: PubMed, CINAHL complete, ProQuest and SCOPUS for articles published from 2012 to 2021. Retrieved data were analysed using descriptive statistics and thematic analyses.
Findings: A total of 110 articles were identified but only six were included. Nurse-led interventions were reported from five countries and they were: Japan, USA, Australia, China, South Korea and Australia.
Conclusion: Interventions to support women receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer were reported from five countries, with none from Africa. A study on the interventions to support women receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer in Africa is recommended.
