As a result of the increasing effectiveness of treatments, the population of cancer survivors is rapidly growing. After treatment, survivors have specific needs that can be effectively addressed by nurses, drawing on their expertise in comorbidity management, health education, and health promotion. However, it is noted that there is a limited understanding of nursing interventions aimed at promoting the health of cancer survivors. This scoping review aims to map health-promoting nursing interventions tailored to breast cancer survivors. This project adheres to the updated methodological framework for scoping review proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). In terms of implications for nursing practice and research, this review underscores the critical role nurses can play in enhancing the well-being of breast cancer survivors. This includes assisting survivors in identifying their health needs and goals and equipping them with the skills necessary to take greater control of their lives. Furthermore, the study suggests a need for future research that focuses on health promotion interventions targeting the various social determinants of health and the holistic well-being of breast cancer survivors.
