The role of nursing in enhancing quality of life for lung cancer patients receiving targeted and immunotherapy: Challenges, opportunities, and future directions

Targeted therapy and immunotherapy are two critical contemporary strategies in the management of lung cancer. Despite their success in extending survival and mitigating symptoms, they introduce complex nursing interventions. This narrative review examines the impact of these treatment strategies on patients’ quality of life, assesses the efficacy of current nursing interventions, and proposes strategies for enhancing future nursing practices. A comprehensive analysis of existing literature, covering studies published between 2014 and 2024 in the databases of WOSCC- SCIE, PubMed, CINAHL, and Embase, underscores the pivotal role of nursing in managing treatment-related adverse effects, delivering psychosocial support, and educating patients. Nevertheless, challenges remain in the areas of nursing staff training, resource allocation, and the limited scope of nursing research. Future directions should focus on the development of individualized care plans, the integration of innovative nursing technologies, and the ongoing enhancement of care quality to optimize nursing practices.

靶向治疗（Targeted Therapy）与免疫治疗（Immunotherapy）是当前肺癌临床管理的两大核心策略。尽管二者在延长患者生存期、缓解临床症状方面成效显著，但同时也催生了复杂的护理干预工作。本叙事性综述旨在探讨上述两类治疗策略对患者生活质量的影响，评估当前护理干预措施的有效性，并提出优化未来护理实践的可行路径。本叙事性综述通过对2014至2024年间发表于WOSCC-SCIE、PubMed、CINAHL及Embase数据库的相关文献进行综合分析，证实了护理工作在管控治疗相关不良反应、提供社会心理支持及开展患者教育方面的关键作用。然而当前护理领域仍面临诸多挑战，包括护理人员培训体系有待完善、资源配置不均以及护理研究覆盖范围有限等问题。未来的护理实践应聚焦于个性化护理方案的研发、创新护理技术的整合应用，以及持续提升护理质量，以优化护理服务水平。
