Beyond BRCA: A scoping review of person-centred care for women diagnosed with a BRCA gene mutation.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Women diagnosed with BRCA1/2 mutations face significantly elevated lifetime risks of breast and ovarian cancer. Due to the distinctive biopsychosocial implications of a BRCA diagnosis, the care trajectory for these women is highly personalised, yet their care needs frequently remain unmet. The aim was to provide a first overview of the evidence of women's experiences with person-centred care (PCC) within BRCA care and their needs for further PCC implementation.

Design

A scoping review, guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews, was conducted.

Data sources

Medline, Embase, Web of Science Core Collection, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, CINAHL Plus and Google Scholar were sea
