The number of cancer survivors is increasing exponentially thanks to early screening, treatment, and cancer care. One of the main challenges for healthcare systems and professionals is the care of cancer survivors and their families, as they have specific needs that are often unmet. Nursing students, as future healthcare professionals, need education to face these new health demands. They will need to develop specific competencies to help them care for and empower this emerging population. The aim of the study was to co-design and validate an educational intervention on long-term cancer survivorship for nursing, through a multidisciplinary panel of experts. Group interviews were conducted with a panel of 11 experts, including eight professionals from different backgrounds (oncology, cancer nursing, pharmacology, and education), a long-term cancer survivor, a family member of a cancer survivor, and a nursing student. The experts validated a pioneer educational intervention to train nursing students in long-term cancer survival. The co-design and validation of the intervention from an interdisciplinary perspective and with the participation of long-term cancer survivors and their families was considered relevant as it included the vision of all the stakeholders involved in long-term cancer survivorship.

A randomized pilot study was conducted involving 69 third-year nursing students (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05270252). Students were randomly assigned to the CG (n = 34) or the intervention group (n = 35), using computer-generated randomization. The CG completed the third-year nursing, and the intervention group received in addition the Learning & Care educational intervention. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness, feasibility, and acceptability of the Learning & Care for students to acquire the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to care for survivors and their families. The intervention group significantly improved in knowledge (p = .004; -1.15, 95% confidence interval [CI] [-1.94, -0.37]), skills (p <= .0001; -13.51, 95% CI [-15.19, -11.83]), and attitudes (p = .006; -5.61, 95% CI [-8.81, -2.42]). The students' satisfaction was found to be high (93.75%). Offering a family nursing approach improves students' competence to care for long-term cancer survivors and their families.

Introducción: La calidad de vida de los supervivientes de cáncer y de sus familiares se ve afectada por la falta de atención a sus necesidades. Por ello se necesitan intervenciones educativas que formen a los futuros profesionales de enfermería para cuidar a los largos supervivientes de cáncer y a sus familiares. Objetivo: Describir el protocolo para la fase piloto de una intervención compleja, diseñada para abordar la formación de estudiantes de enfermería en larga supervivencia de cáncer y en familia. Diseño: Estudio piloto controlado aleatorizado Métodos: Los participantes serán estudiantes de 3º de grado de enfermería. El grupo intervención recibirá el programa Learning & Care durante un período de 3 meses. El grupo de control continuará con formación del grado de enfermería. El piloto ayudará a determinar la viabilidad, aceptabilidad y calidad del programa educativo. Los datos recopilados antes y después de la intervención proporcionarán estimaciones de los efectos preliminares de la intervención sobre la variable principal (conocimiento, habilidad, actitud) y el grado de satisfacción de los estudiantes al realizarlo. Discusión: Si los resultados del estudio piloto mostrarán que la intervención Learning & Care es un programa educativo interdisciplinar en el que el alumno es líder de su aprendizaje y se forma en el área de la supervivencia de cáncer, se podrá incorporar al curriculum de grado de enfermería. Las organizaciones sanitarias podrían beneficiarse de la incorporación de nuevas enfermeras con formación en cuidados en larga supervivencia de cáncer y en familia que cuiden de forma holística a esta población.

The idea of solidarity is in vogue, especially since the eruption of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the term "solidarity," as used in nursing, is imprecise and vague, lacking clear definition and connoting a variety of general meanings. Based on the original meaning of "solidarity" in ancient Roman law, this article captures the archetypical idea of solidarity from a historical and interdisciplinary perspective. This archetypical or primary meaning comes before the development of any other meanings of the word, and it is therefore authentic and genuine because it does not derive from something else. After establishing the archetypical meaning of solidarity, the article translates this meaning into the area of nursing and demonstrates a deep connectivity between healthcare and solidarity. The second part of the article offers and develops a new definition of nursing solidarity as the responsibility for the healthcare of a person (unit) shared as a whole (entirety) by that person and a nurse or a nursing team (plurality). This new definition has some implications for nursing practice and education, since the definition emphasizes the idea that solidarity helps to (a) foster respect and avoid discrimination, (b) promote cohesion in health communities, (c) increase individual responsibility and a spirit of service, (d) stimulate motivation, (e) improve communication, (f) create an engaging workplace, and (g) develop leadership.

Aim To explore connections between spiritual metaparadigm and the nursing metaparadigm and advocate for a progressive spiritualization of nursing management. Background Relationship between the spiritualholisticmetaparadigm oflove, communion and giftand theholonicnursing metaparadigm ofcare, relationship and practiceis not completely understood. Method The construction of a theoretical explanation on the basis of accumulated knowledge in the fields of nursing and spirituality (especially Christian spirituality) for the purpose of constructing a meaningful description. Results Deep connectivity between the elements of both metaparadigms: love and care, communion and relationship, and gift and practice. Conclusion The connection between the spiritual and nursing metaparadigms is real in nursing education, practice and management because of the holistic character of spirituality. In collective intentions and cultural values are the main channels of interaction between the nursing and the spiritual metaparadigms. Implications for nursing management Spirituality influences nursing management by, among other things, (a) providing meaning and purpose; (b) promoting cohesion in health communities; (c) fostering respect for ethics; (d) stimulating innovation; (e) encouraging leadership; and (f) illuminating the workplace.

Current cancer treatments, along with more effective prevention measures, are producing increased cancer survival globally;(1) becoming ¿ in many cases ¿ a chronic disease.(2) Care of patients and families, living with a chronic disease, like cancer, constitutes one of the principal challenges for most health systems because they represent a heavy burden in terms of morbidity and mortality and carry a high percentage of the public expenditure in health.(3) Above all, the impact of cancer entails suffering and represents an important limitation in the quality of life, productivity, and functional state of the sick individuals and those living with them, that is, their family. More so, with evidence of the progressive increase of the number of older people with cancer, who are more prone to having comorbidities and other problems associated with their age, like dementia, depression, cerebrovascular accident, and diabetes.
