ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Advanced practice nursing was introduced in France in 2018, in response to health needs. The first advanced practice nurses were graduated since 2019 and were trained in one among four medical areas including oncology and onco-hematology. The purpose of this article is to make an early assessment of the development of the profession of oncology Advanced Practice Nurse in France.

METHOD: An exploratory study was conducted. A sample of 44 onco-hematology IPA graduated in 2019 and 2020 was recruited from June 2021 to end of July 2021. The 44 participants completed a questionnaire, by phone interviews or self-administered.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The distribution of the 44 participants concerns 12 of the 13 regions of metropolitan France. This profession shows an employability for 86% of the first gradu ates. These professionals practice in health care institutions and rather in oncology, 71% in the framework of an organizational protocol established with the oncologist. They appear to be well accepted by patients and oncology teams. Further studies on performance and quality indicators will make it possible to evaluate the added value of the oncology Advanced Practice Nurses in the cancer patient's pathway.
