Body image disturbance in adults treated for cancer - a concept analysis.
The author analyzed the concept of body image disturbance in adults who have been treated for cancer as a phenomenon of interest to nurses. Rhoten used Walker and Avant's 8-step method of concept analysis and concluded that a better understanding of body image disturbance in adults treated for cancer will assist nurses and other clinicians in identifying this phenomenon and will assist nurse scientists in developing instruments that accurately measure this condition, along with interventions that will promote a better quality of life for survivors.

Guiding lay navigation in geriatric patients with cancer using a distress assessment tool.
This study assessed the feasibility and impact of using distress assessments to frame lay navigator interactions with geriatric patients with cancer who were enrolled in navigation between January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2014. It concluded that lay navigators were able to routinely screen for patient distress at a high degree of penetration using a structured distress assessment.
