Hospital-to-Home Transition Management for Adult Cancer Patients: A Scoping Review

Advances in diagnosis and treatment have significantly improved cancer patient survival rates , making the transition period from hospital to home a vulnerable window for patients and their caregivers . During this time, patients often encounter multiple challenges, including difficulties in symptom management, poor psychological adaptation, and insufficient information and social support .Transitional care encompasses a broad range of services and settings designed to facilitate safe and timely transitions for patients between levels of care and across care environments . Existing research predominantly focuses on conceptual definitions or the effects of single interventions, lacking a comprehensive overview of hospital-to-home transition management interventions for adult cancer patients.The review aims to answer the following questions: 1. What care interventions exist for cancer patients in transition? 2. For which cancers are these interventions targeted? 3. What outcomes of these interventions have been measured? 4.How were the outcomes of these interventions measured?
