ncologynursingeducationhas focusedon theknowledge
and practice of providing care to cancer patients. Today’s
health care environment demands constant improvement
in patient outcomes. As part of the multidisciplinary team,
oncology nurses are particularly interested in effective
cancer-symptom management and have identified an
essential need for resources that facilitate easy access to the
best evidence for managing common cancer symptoms. The
Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) is committed to identifying
the evidence base for oncology nursing and demonstrating
the impact of oncology nursing interventions on patient
outcomes.
General issues in cancer nursing
are one of the
main challenges nurses face is collaborating with the many
different organisations in the field of oncology. In addition
to the difficulty of monitoring and educating patients who
receive treatment in the out-patient setting. when informing
or not becomes a dilemma- showing the main difficulties
related to oncological treatment information regarding
health staff, health system, and infrastructure; to invest or
not - dilemmas related to finitude - showing situations of
dilemmas related to pain and confrontation with finitude. It
is important to invest in the training of these professionals,
preparing them in an ethical and human way to act as
lawyers of the patient with cancer, in a context of dilemmas
related mainly to the possibility of finitude. Part of their role
is to listen to the emotional concerns and anxieties of the
patient and refer them appropriately if needed.
