Background: Workplace violence (WPV) against nursing professionals by patients and visitors occurs frequently, and rates of WPV increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. All nursing teams, including oncology nursing professionals, are at risk for WPV and need current WPV-related information applicable to their clinical experiences.

Objectives: This overview aims to increase awareness of trends and personal safety issues related to clinical oncology nursing practice and provide strategies and resources to enhance personal safety in nursing practice.

Methods: This overview used literature reviews, publicly reported sources, other scholarly resources, and real-world examples to identify and synthesize WPV trends related to clinical nursing.

Findings: This overview's findings suggest that the COVID-19 pandemic contributed to the increased rate of WPV and subsequent harm to nursing staff victims. Oncology nursing professionals can implement best practices to reduce their risk of being harmed, and healthcare institutions can operationalize best practices by having systems and resources in place that prevent and mitigate WPV.

Patients receiving radiation therapy (RT) for cancer are at greater risk for falls because of age, treatment, pharmacologic side effects, and cognitive or motor deficits. The Timed Up and Go (TUG) Test is a validated, objecti.

Background: The approval of the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted radio-ligand therapy [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 represents a shift toward precision medicine-based treatments for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Objectives: This review aims to provide practical advice and clinical considerations for working with [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617; particularly, regarding the role of nurses in managing radiation safety, monitoring and reporting of adverse events, and counseling patients receiving this therapy.

Methods: Clinical data, protocols, and guidelines are summarized alongside real-world insights to provide practical recommendations for nurses caring for patients treated with [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617.

Findings: Nurses coordinate safe care for patients receiving [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 by facilitating communication among physicians, managing logistic concerns, monitoring for adverse events related to treatment, providing education, and counseling patients and caregivers throughout treatment.

Background: Resilience is the capacity for physical and emotional recovery from stressful events like cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to review existing literature to understand and illustrate ways to assess and manage resilience when providing holistic care to older adults with cancer.

Methods: A review of the literature was conducted with a focus on assessment, management, and preservation of resilience in older adults with cancer.

Findings: Interventions to support resilience include managing problems that occur in the areas of nutrition, exercise, social support, cognition, functional status, and emotion. Cell cycle arrest using pharmacologic agents may provide a novel proactive approach to protect resilience from deteriorating during chemotherapy to treat cancer. The oncology nurse can assess and manage resilience. which can lead to better treatment outcomes.

Background: Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) is a significant complication for patients who receive allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Patients whose aGVHD is refractory to corticosteroids face additional complications.

Objectives: This article provides foundational knowledge on steroid-refractory (SR) aGVHD, current treatment options, and related supportive care.

Methods: Therapies for patients with SR aGVHD are summarized, along with supportive care recommendations and a review of related nursing considerations.

Findings: Current treatment and research on SR aGVHD offer opportunities for improved clinical outcomes for these patients. Nursing knowledge of the pathophysiology, treatment, and supportive care for patients with SR aGVHD is integral to the provision of optimal nursing care for a complex population of patients.
