Holistic Nursing Approach to Patients with Cancer

چکیده
Nurses in Oncology are required to offer care for the entire course of the patient with cancer, including the processes of diagnosis, treatment, possible recurrence, survival period, palliative care and assisting in a peaceful death [2]. The contribution of nurses is crucial throughout this journey (“cancer journey”), since this is based on the concept of holistic care and on continuous attendance of the patient and his family, but additionally on close collaboration with the other members of the multidisciplinary team [3].
