Objective:To analyze the relevant studies on fertility concerns intervention programs for breast cancer survivors of childbearing age, and identify the specific content, outcome indicators and intervention effects of intervention, in order to provide reference for clinical staff to implement relevant intervention.Methods:According to the research method of scope review, the studies on the fertility concerns with breast cancer patients of childbearing age in China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang, VIP, China Biomedical Literature Database, CINAHL, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science etc. were searched. The search period was from database establishment to May 9, 2024. The included literature was classified and analyzed.Results:A total of 12 articles were included, 9 were randomized controlled trials, 2 were self-controlled before and after studies, and 1 was a prospective cohort study. Fertility concerns intervention programs included group fertility counseling centered on couples, fertility support based on a multidisciplinary team collaboration model, and fertility management based on "Internet + reproductive health". The duration of intervention was usually 4 or 24 weeks. The intervention had different effects on the level of fertility concerns, psychological state and marital status.Conclusions:At present, the intervention programs for fertility concerns of breast cancer survivors of childbearing age reflect the importance, professionalism, immediacy and interactivity, but China is in the initial stage, and there are still shortcomings in multidisciplinary teams, fertility referral system, and Internet platform construction. Future research should build a breast cancer fertility intervention program suitable for our country, and promote its application through the Internet.

Objective:To explore the impact of "basic nursing" course with signature pedagogy on undergraduate nursing students' critical thinking, professional identity, and professionalism.Methods:A signature pedagogy method for the "basic nursing" course was established using narrative as a theoretical lesson and scenario-simulation as a laboratory lesson. Ninety sophomore nursing students in the 2020 undergraduate nursing program were selected as the participants of a controlled pre-post study. The students were evaluated using the Critical Thinking Inventory, the Professional Identity Questionnaire, and the Professionalism Inventory before and after the course. Semi-structured interviews were conducted at the end of the course to gain an in-depth understanding of their learning experience. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS 26.0 and Nvivo 11.0 Colaizzi's seven-step method was used for analysis of qualitative research.Results:A total of 87 nursing students participated in the course and 83 were included in the quantitative analysis. The total scores of critical thinking skills (286.83±17.44), professional identity (58.95±6.43), and professionalism (67.08±11.21) were significantly higher after the course than before the course ( P<0.001). Qualitative study identified the four themes of promoting effective learning, developing critical thinking and empathy, building professional attitudes, and expecting curriculum optimization. Conclusions:The "basic nursing" course based on signature pedagogy for undergraduate nursing students helps to enhance their critical thinking, foster a sense of professional identity, and develop professionalism.
