It contributes to clinical practice by clarifying complex nursing responsibilities that are often unacknowledged, such as brokering referrals, emotional reframing and cultural advocacy. The theory, validated through expert review, can inform curriculum development, support professional recognition and guide practice standards. Broader impacts include enhancing patient\u2010centred care, improving interdisciplinary collaboration and shaping policies that acknowledge the full scope of nursing work in oncology and palliative care transitions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Patient or Public Contribution<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>No patient or public contribution.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jan.17088","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,9]],"date-time":"2025-06-09T10:19:03Z","timestamp":1749464343000},"page":"6821-6844","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["The Nurse's Role in Curative\u2010to\u2010Palliative Transitions in Advanced Cancer: A Theory Synthesis Using Turner's Method"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"82","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5158-7687","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Geya","family":"George","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing and Midwifery Edith Cowan University  Joondalup Perth, Western Australia Australia"},{"name":"School of Nursing and Midwifery La Trobe University  Melbourne Bundoora, Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2992-3389","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Deborah","family":"Kirk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing and Midwifery Edith Cowan University  Joondalup Perth, Western Australia Australia"},{"name":"School of Nursing and Midwifery La Trobe University  Melbourne Bundoora, Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4161-9697","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Davina","family":"Porock","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing and Midwifery Edith Cowan University  Joondalup Perth, Western Australia Australia"},{"name":"Faculty of Public Health Mahasarakham University  Mahasarakham Thailand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_13_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0891243206289499"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4324\/9781315857794"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_4_1","unstructured":"American Nurses Association.2023.\u201cWhat is Nursing Theory and Why is it Important for Nurses?\u201dhttps:\/\/www.nursingworld.org\/content\u2010hub\/resources\/becoming\u2010a\u2010nurse\/nursing\u2010theory\/."},{"key":"e_1_2_13_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000446-198412000-00027"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jocn.13585"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/02692163211066431"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1191\/1478088706qp063oa"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1363459315595845"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1049732314553123"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_11_1","unstructured":"Cancer Council Australia.2020.\u201cCancer Information and Support.\u201dhttps:\/\/www.cancer.org.au\/."},{"key":"e_1_2_13_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jocn.14603"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.outlook.2019.11.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1442-2018.2003.00147.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_15_1","volume-title":"Transitions: A Nursing Concern","author":"Chick Norma M.
