Data were analyzed using Colaizzi's seven-step phenomenologic method.Findings: Six main themes emerged from the phenomenologic analysis of the interviews: (a) confronting the reality of death in oncology, (b) emotional reactions and outcomes, (c) suppressed grief, (d) factors affecting the experience of grief, (e) coping, and (f) expectation of organizational support. Newly graduated oncology nurses often experience secondary trauma.Implications for nursing: Nurses should receive training to effectively cope with grief and secondary traumatic stress.

Logistic regression was used to identify predictors of fear of progression.Results: Two symptom severity subgroups were identified: mild (n = 36, 35%) and severe (n = 66, 65%). Fatigue was the most prevalent symptom. Compared with the mild group, the severe group reported significantly higher breast cancer-specific symptom and fear-of-progression scores.

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.

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.
