Declining or Waning
- Traditional Treatment Modalities:
Research focusing on conventional cancer treatments without integrating complementary or supportive care perspectives has decreased, as there is a growing recognition of holistic approaches. - Basic Clinical Trials:
Studies that primarily report clinical trial results without a nursing or patient-centered focus are becoming less prominent, as there is a shift towards research that emphasizes the role of nursing in the clinical trial process. - Generic Quality of Life Assessments:
While quality of life remains a key area of research, there is a decline in studies utilizing generic assessments without tailoring them to specific cancer types or patient demographics. - Single-Disease Focus:
Research concentrating solely on one type of cancer is waning in favor of studies that address comorbidities and the experiences of patients with multiple cancer types or chronic conditions. - Pharmacological Interventions:
