title: Coping strategies and interventions for cognitive changes in patients with cancer.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To provide a comprehensive summary of the coping strategies and evidence-based interventions used to address cognitive impairment following cancer and cancer treatment.
  
  
  METHODS
  Review and synthesis of empirical articles.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Survivors identified a structured environment and validation of their cognitive concerns as essential to adjustment. Although interventional research is still limited, non-pharmacological approaches such as cognitive training programs show the greatest promise.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Oncology nurses must understand the available evidence and provide information and guidance to cancer survivors to address cognitive changes after cancer.
