Title : Nurse
Scientist And Emotional Support For Breast Cancer Stress
Author Name : Sampoornam
Webster
Synopsis :
Breast
cancer is a significant health problem worldwide and a complex and overwhelming
disease both physically and psychologically. Stress is caused by an
existing stress-causing factor or stressor. Dealing with breast cancer can
cause a great deal of stress. Emotional support to breast cancer patients can
essentially give cancer treatment a power boost as experts believe there is a
link between emotional support, education and health outcomes. Nurse scientist
should support in conducting research on breast cancer stress and emotional
support. Clinical protocol should be modified based on evidence based practice
research. The role of breast care nurses needs clarification and should include
a focus on psychosocial assessment and emotional support for women. The value
of the breast care nurse researcher role as part of the multidisciplinary team
in providing quality care for women has been increasingly recognised nationally
and internationally as part of evidence based best practice for breast care.
