Understanding the specific barriers and facilitators affecting this population is essential for designing interventions that improve screening uptake and reduce cancer-related morbidity.Literature search: A database search identified U.S.-based, peer-reviewed studies focused on Eastern European immigrant adults aged 18 years or older.Data evaluation: Rayyan software supported article screening and management. Nine studies met inclusion criteria, and key information on study characteristics, methods, and outcomes was extracted.Synthesis: Many studies grouped Eastern European immigrants with broader immigrant populations, with breast cancer being the most frequently examined condition. Common barriers to screening included fear, language challenges, and lack of health insurance.Implications for practice: Facilitators such as culturally concordant providers, provider recommendations, and community-based outreach enhance screening participation. Interventions to reduce language barriers, mistrust, and limited awareness may be crucial to improving cancer screening rates among Eastern European immigrants.","PeriodicalId":19549,"journal":{"name":"Oncology nursing forum","volume":"53 2","pages":"45–55"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12999053/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147434472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Standardized neighborhood deprivation and social vulnerability levels were obtained using metrics from the U.S. Census Bureau, and sociodemographic information was collected via self-report. Final analyses were performed using multivariate linear regression adjusting for potential covariates.Results: Higher neighborhood deprivation was associated with higher CRP (p = 0.05) and IL-6 levels (p = 0.08), and higher levels of social vulnerability (p = 0.05) were significantly associated with higher CRP levels. A trend (p = 0.1) was found between social vulnerability and IL-6 levels.Implications for nursing: Recognizing the characteristics placing neuro-oncology caregivers at risk for compromised immunity can inform health strategies and targeted interventions. Indices of environmental vulnerability can identify individuals for whom reduction of inflammation should be a primary target to improve quality of life and overall health.","PeriodicalId":19549,"journal":{"name":"Oncology nursing forum","volume":"53 2","pages":"20–28"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12999050/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147434589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Multiple logistic regression models evaluated the impact of eSDM on PSA screening rates, including an interaction term for race and ethnicity and eSDM.Results: Among the sample, 46% reported undergoing PSA screening in the past year. eSDM was a significant predictor of PSA screening. After adjusting for eSDM and covariates, racial disparities in screening rates were no longer significant. Only Asian American men showed a significantly lower likelihood of screening following SDM exposure compared to White men.Implication for nursing: SDM can reduce racial and ethnic disparities in PSA screening. In addition, factors like healthcare access significantly influence screening rates, requiring targeted investigation. The results call for further investigation to culturally optimize SDM.","PeriodicalId":19549,"journal":{"name":"Oncology nursing forum","volume":"53 2","pages":"57–67"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12999057/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147434454","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
