Objectives

To synthesize research results on self-transcendence among people affected by cancer and their caregivers to inform oncology nursing practices that promote well-being across the cancer trajectory. Self-transcendence is an inherent capacity to expand self-boundaries beyond the person's usual form to create something meaningful, whether it is a new purpose, perspective, situation, or artifact that fosters well-being.

Data Sources

Peer-reviewed, research-based publications, and peer-reviewed theoretical publications were used.

Conclusion

Research results are consistent with Reed's self-transcendence theory that proposes self-transcendence as a healing process for application in nursing practice. Self-transcendence facilitates well-being through the creative experiences afforded by expanding self-boundaries intrapersonally, interpersonally, and transpersonally. Nurses may use this knowledge in various practices that support well-being among people who have cancer and their families.

Implications for Nursing Practice

Five comprehensive practice implications to support self-transcendence and foster well-being in individuals affected by cancer and their caregivers were synthesized from the research-based literature and aligned with Reed's self-transcendence theory.

自我超越：跨越癌症轨迹从精神失衡走向幸福

目标

综合有关受癌症影响的人及其护理人员自我超越的研究结果，为肿瘤护理实践提供信息，以促进整个癌症轨迹的健康。自我超越是一种内在的能力，可以将自我边界扩展到一个人的通常形式之外，以创造一些有意义的东西，无论是新的目的、观点、情况还是促进幸福的人工制品。

数据源

使用了同行评审的、基于研究的出版物和同行评审的理论出版物。

结论

研究结果与 Reed 的自我超越理论一致，该理论提出将自我超越作为在护理实践中应用的治疗过程。自我超越通过扩大内在、人际和超个人的自我边界所提供的创造性体验来促进幸福。护士可以在支持癌症患者及其家人福祉的各种实践中使用这些知识。

对护理实践的影响

从基于研究的文献中综合了五个综合实践意义，以支持受癌症影响的个人及其照顾者的自我超越和促进福祉，并与里德的自我超越理论保持一致。
