Oncology nurses are healthcare professionals specially trained to care for patients with a cancer diagnosis or at risk of cancer. They provide necessary assessments, treatments and communication with all patient care providers to help develop a plan tailored to each patient’s needs. They play an important role in the community in providing community health education, conducting community cancer screening and providing supportive care to patients with cancer in the community. Through nursing professional associations, community oncology nurses and health workers are empowered to transform community health services through capacity building, mentorship networks and advocacy to Ministries of Health. Research on community health workers tells us how we can include community health workers in our nursing investigation efforts to improve our local community health regarding cancer. Oncology nurses bridge up the gap between the tertiary hospitals and the community health workforce, especially nurses, to improve cancer outcomes.
