Zusammenfassung

Hintergrund

Rollen, Kompetenzen und Funktionen der onkologischen Pflege variieren in Europa stark und können sogar innerhalb eines Landes von Standort zu Standort sehr verschieden sein. In diesem Beitrag wird ein kurzer Überblick über diese verschiedenen Rollen in Europa gegeben.

Material und Methoden

Auf Basis internationaler Literatur bezüglich der Rollen und Kompetenzen werden die verschiedenen Ausbildungsniveaus von Pflegenden in der Onkologie kurz vorgestellt und im Hinblick auf deren Nutzen diskutiert. Besonders beleuchtet werden die Rollen der Pflegenden in der Onkologie mit Fachweiterbildung, der sog. Nurse Navigators, der Clinical Research Nurses und der Advanced Practice Nurses.

Ergebnisse

Die demographische Entwicklung in Europa und die steigenden Überlebensraten tragen zu einem starken Anstieg onkologischer Patienten bei, während gleichzeitig neue Therapiemodalitäten die bestehende Gesundheitsversorgung maßgeblich verändern. Damit die Gesundheitssysteme auf diese veränderten Bedingungen reagieren können, sind auch in Deutschland neue Versorgungsmodelle erforderlich, in denen Pflegende in der Onkologie neue Rollen übernehmen.

Abstract

Background

There is huge variation in the roles, competencies, and functions of oncology nurses all over Europe. Even on a national level, they might differ between different regions and settings. This article provides a brief overview of different roles of oncology nurses in Europe.

Materials and methods

Based on literature summarizing different roles and competencies, this article provides an overview of the different educational levels that exist internationally. Their impact on health systems will be briefly reviewed. In particular, the roles of specialized oncology nurses, nurse navigators, clinical trial nurses, and advanced practice nurses in oncology will be discussed.

Results

The demographic evolution and the increasing number of cancer patients achieving long-term survival will increase the number of cancer patients in health care systems significantly. In parallel, new treatment modalities imply important changes to cancer care. To enable health care systems to respond to the changing needs, new models of care should also be promoted in Germany and include new roles for oncology nurses.
