Strengthening Cancer Nursing Workforce to Overcome Inequities in Cancer Care for People Living in Remote, Border, and Outer Island Areas of Indonesia
Objectives
Promoting equitable cancer care is a tremendous challenge in Indonesia. This report highlights the Indonesian government’s efforts to establish equitable cancer care service for people living in remote, border, and outer island areas in Indonesia and the aspects of cancer nursing workforce that support the agenda.
Methods
This opinion paper integrates the critical aspects of cancer nurses' strengthening into the Indonesian government’s policy on equitable cancer care. Insights were drawn from the situational analysis of the cancer nursing workforce and 1-year evaluation of the national cancer care referral network program. The program will enable every regency/city, including those in the remote areas of Indonesia, to deliver specialist cancer care.
Results
A significant expansion of cancer care services that also cover remote areas requires strengthening the local cancer nursing workforce. Nurses should be equipped with extra capacities in terms of clinical competencies, professional competencies, communication skills, cultural awareness, and community engagement skills to effectively serve people in remote areas.
Conclusions
Overcoming inequities in cancer care requires comprehensive policies and programs, with strengthening the nursing workforce as one of the foundational pillars.
Implications for Nursing Practice
Cancer nurses working in remote areas should seize the educational opportunities coming from the national cancer care program. On the other hand, cancer nurses from more developed regions in Indonesia should also play an active role as preceptors to those in the least developed regions.
