Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to clarify the concept of uncertainty in brain tumor patients. Methods: We used the Walker and Avant's concept analysis method. We searched RISS, MEDLINE, CINAHL, and EMBASE for published articles in Korean and English from January 2002 to December 2022. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 27 articles were selected for the final analysis. Result: "Uncertainty in brain tumor" was defined as a state in which related clues during the process of experiencing a disease after brain tumor diagnosis are unclear or difficult to understand, new experiences different from before, or a condition in which it is difficult to judge fragmentarily. Moreover, the empirical criteria for the attributes of uncertainty in brain tumor patients were ambiguity of the disease process, diversity of information, unpredictability of prognosis, and complexity of management. Conclusion: Brain tumor patients with uncertainty require strategic technology development so that brain tumor patients, their families, and health care providers can use reasonable coping methods.
