| description | PURPOSECancer constitutes a significant global health challenge, with projections indicating a continued increase in its prevalence in the foreseeable future. This trend is particularly pronounced in Latin America (LATAM), where the cancer burden has increased substantially over the coming decades. Concurrently, nursing, which represents the largest segment of the health care workforce globally, is important for addressing the multifaceted challenges posed by cancer care, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Despite the essential role of nursing in cancer care, several barriers hinder its optimal contribution, particularly in LMICs. These challenges include professional hierarchy, insufficient educational standards, underfunding for research, and limited representation in decision-making processes.METHODSTo address these challenges, collaborative initiatives, such as the INCREASE Proposal, have emerged, aimed at fostering interdisciplinary dialogue and action in oncology nursing within LATAM. Through focused workshops and agile methodologies, the INCREASE Proposal seeks to identify barriers and formulate solutions across key areas including education, research, clinical practice, and policy implementation.RESULTSThe outcomes of the INCREASE Proposal underscore the urgent need for comprehensive strategies to strengthen oncology nursing in the LATAM. These strategies include enhancing education and recognition within health care systems, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, leveraging advanced technologies, conducting cost-benefit analyses, and promoting research-academic partnerships.CONCLUSIONBy addressing these challenges and implementing the proposed solutions, LATAM can advance toward optimized oncology nursing practice, improving cancer care delivery and outcomes across the region. |
