BACKGROUND
Non specialist nurses meet cancer survivors in teaching hospitals where the patients have open admissions. For these nurses lacking specialist knowledge about cancer care, knowledge transfer from evidence is important information and may be the only ongoing education related to the cancer survivors’ needs of nursing care.
Therefore, the knowledge transfer influences both the evidence utilization and has an impact on the patients’ actual outcome. Besides this, nurse leaders benefit from the knowledge transfer as they get information on the resulting organizational changes.
This review reports on an on-going study preparing knowledge transfer in a clinical setting, based on the Joanna Briggs Institute’s (JBI) model of evidence-based healthcare.
SR AND/OR METASYNTHESIS
The initial ideas for the study was refined into a clear statement of participants, phenomena of interest and context (PICo).
Based on this, a protocol was established, peer reviewed and published informing about the background for the study, the key phenomena, the search strategy and instruments selected for use. This study was qualitative, thus, we used the Qualitative Assessment and Review Instrument (QARI).
We identified enough papers to perform a systematic review (JBI request 2 or more) and they all (n=3) contributed to the construction of a metasynthesis based on 81 findings. The metasynthesis has been submitted to JBI for peer review.

ABOUT US
IMPLICATIONS FOR SOCIETY
In this presentation, we focus on the method rather than the topic and the content of the metasynthesis. Our primary aim was to identify evidence for practice through a structured and comprehensive literature search. Therefore, as preparation, both authors joined a JBI course on systematic reviews. The implications for society are addressed as the benefits for patients, staff and leaders. Leaders joined seeking information about the process, the content and the influence on everyday patient care for cancer survivors. Staff was met by the second author for transfer of additional knowledge relevant for their practice. We have not evaluated with patients yet but we aim to continue to create staff awareness to the possibility of an evidence based cancer care in nursing.
