title: Survivorship Care Plans and Treatment Summaries in Adult Patients With Hematologic Cancer: An Integrative Literature Review.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Survivorship care plans (SCPs) and treatment summaries (TSs) have been recommended by the Institute of Medicine as ways to facilitate the delivery of holistic survivorship care. An integrative literature review was undertaken to identify current use of SCPs and TSs to meet the needs of survivors of hematologic cancer.
  
  
  METHODS
  Databases searched for eligible articles were CINAHL®, the Cochrane Library, EMBASE, MEDLINE®, PsycARTICLES, PsycINFO, and PubMed.
  
  
  METHODS
  Four articles that reported on experience, dissemination, or components of SCPs or TSs were included. Hematology-specific literature was limited, and no randomized, controlled trials or literature reviews were found for the cohort of survivors of hematologic cancer.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Content analysis was used to summarize the findings.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  High-quality evidence evaluating the effectiveness of SCPs and TSs on hematologic cancer survivorship follow-up care is lacking. Nurses have established expertise in health promotion, information, support, and resource provision; they can develop and disseminate SCPs and TSs to facilitate communication among the survivor, specialist, and primary care provider.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Well-designed, randomized, controlled trials on SCPs and TSs are required, particularly for cancers not well represented in the literature.
