Abstract

Objective

The purpose of the current scoping review is to explore knowledge and gaps in the literature on the preparedness of health care providers (HCPs) to deliver cancer care that addresses the needs of sexual and gender minority (SGM) adolescent and young adult (AYA) patients diagnosed with cancer between ages 15–39 years.

Methods

We conducted two comprehensive searches on OVID MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and CINAHL in February 2022 and June 2024; examined the empirical literature on HCPs who treat SGM AYA cancer patients; characterized existing research; and evaluated each contribution.

Results

A total of thirteen articles were included in the final review. The reviewed studies varied widely in sample sizes (n = 6 to n = 1253), reflecting different methodological approaches: quantitative cross-sectional (n = 3), qualitative (n = 4), and mixed methods (n = 6).

Innovation

The current scoping review piloted an innovative Quality Assessment (QA) Tool of Foundational Progress for SGM AYA Research to assess the quality of evidence, providing a new framework for evaluating and guiding future research.

Conclusion

The existing literature on provider preparedness to care for SGM AYA cancer patients is limited. Future studies are critically needed to improve providers' ability to holistically respond to the unique health care needs and concerns of this population.

医疗服务提供者为性取向和性别少数的青少年和年轻成人癌症患者提供护理的准备情况：范围界定审查

目的本次范围界定综述旨在探讨医疗保健提供者（HCPs）在提供癌症护理以满足 15-39 岁之间被诊断患有癌症的性与性别少数群体（SGM）青少年和年轻成人（AYA）患者的需求方面的知识和文献差距。方法我们分别于 2022 年 2 月和 2024 年 6 月在 OVID MEDLINE、PsycINFO 和 CINAHL 上进行了两次全面检索；研究了有关治疗 SGM AYA 癌症患者的 HCP 的实证文献；描述了现有研究的特点；并对每项贡献进行了评估。创新本次范围界定综述试用了创新性的 "SGM AYA 研究基础进展质量评估 (QA) 工具 "来评估证据的质量，为评估和指导未来研究提供了新的框架。今后亟需开展研究，以提高医疗服务提供者全面应对这一人群独特的医疗保健需求和关切的能力。
