AB  - Breast cancer is among the most common malignant diseases in women, necessitating multidisciplinary approaches in its diagnosis, treatment, and care processes. Nursing care plays a critical role in meeting the physical, psychological, and social needs of patients. Nursing interventions, supported by individualized care plans, are pivotal for early diagnosis, treatment adherence, and enhancing quality of life. Technological advancements today are transforming both diagnostic and care processes in breast cancer management. Tele-nursing applications facilitate the monitoring of patients during their treatment, make education and counseling services more accessible, and ensure the continuity of care. These approaches support patients in receiving safe and effective care within their home environments, thereby reducing inequalities in access to healthcare services. Rozzano Locsin's theory of technological competency as caring in nursing emphasizes that nurses can enhance their capacity to provide care by using technology consciously and competently. According to the theory, nurses can improve patient safety and the quality of care by developing their skills in using technological tools. Tele-nursing initiatives exemplify the practical application of this theory; through remote monitoring systems, digital education platforms, and tele-consultations, nurses can offer patients effective, safe, and personalized care. This review summarizes current approaches in the literature by examining the importance of technology and tele-nursing applications in breast cancer care within the framework of a nursing theory. Nursing interventions based on technological competency enhance the quality of patient-centered care and provide a foundation for developing future strategies in breast cancer management.

N2  - Meme kanseri, kadınlarda en sık görülen malign hastalıklar arasında yer almakta ve tanı, tedavi ve bakım süreçlerinde multidisipliner yaklaşımlar gerektirmektedir. Hemşirelik bakımı, hastaların fiziksel, psikolojik ve sosyal ihtiyaçlarının karşılanmasında kritik bir rol oynar. Erken tanı, tedaviye uyum ve yaşam kalitesinin artırılmasında hemşirelik müdahaleleri, bireyselleştirilmiş bakım planları ile desteklenmektedir.Günümüzde teknolojik gelişmeler, meme kanseri yönetiminde hem tanı hem de bakım süreçlerini dönüştürmektedir. Tele hemşirelik uygulamaları, hastaların tedavi sürecinde izlenmesini kolaylaştırmakta, eğitim ve danışmanlık hizmetlerini erişilebilir kılmakta ve bakımın sürekliliğini sağlamaktadır. Bu yaklaşımlar, hastaların ev ortamında güvenli ve etkili bakım almasını destekleyerek sağlık hizmetlerine erişimde eşitsizlikleri azaltmaktadır.Rozzano Locsin’in Teknolojik Yeterlilik Teorisi, hemşirelerin teknolojiyi bilinçli ve yeterli bir şekilde kullanarak bakım sunma kapasitelerini artırmalarını vurgular. Teoriye göre hemşireler, teknolojik araçları kullanma becerilerini geliştirerek hasta güvenliği ve bakım kalitesini yükseltebilir. Tele hemşirelik girişimleri, bu teorinin pratikte uygulanmasına örnek teşkil eder; hemşireler, uzaktan izleme sistemleri, dijital eğitim platformları ve tele konsültasyonlarla hastalara etkin, güvenli ve kişiselleştirilmiş bakım sunabilirler.Bu derleme, meme kanseri bakımında teknolojinin ve tele hemşirelik uygulamalarının önemini, hemşirelik teorisi çerçevesinde ele alarak literatürdeki güncel yaklaşımları özetlemektedir. Teknolojik yeterlilik temelli hemşirelik müdahaleleri, hasta merkezli bakımın kalitesini artırmakta ve meme kanseri yönetiminde geleceğe dönük stratejilerin geliştirilmesine temel oluşturmaktadır.
