Abstract
Introduction
This study explores how early-career cancer nurses across Europe conceptualise and deliver survivorship care, a growing priority in oncology nursing.
Methods
An exploratory qualitative design was used, involving a written reflection and focus group with seven early-career nurses from the European Oncology Nursing Society. Reflexive thematic analysis was applied to identify patterns in perceptions and practice.
Findings
Three themes were identified: (1) Reframing Survivorship, where nurses challenged traditional definitions and advocated for a continuum-based approach; (2) Managing the Emotional Dimensions, highlighting the emotional needs of patients, caregivers, and nurses themselves; and (3) Empowering the Workforce, revealing gaps in education, autonomy, and access to resources. Participants called for tiered competencies, interprofessional learning, and better integration of survivorship care across settings.
Conclusion
The findings point to the need for clearer definitions, emotional support structures, and investment in nursing education and leadership. Early-career perspectives offer valuable insights for shaping future survivorship care models and workforce development.
