by Françoise Charnay-Sonnek (Editor), Anne E. Murphy (Editor)
This book provides a unique overview of oncology nursing care in a
new health environment, one in which oncology nurses play an
increasingly important role. In this regard, it addresses not only the
biomedical aspects of new drugs but also the challenges they pose in
day-to-day nursing practice. It also highlights the new skills that
oncology nurses will need to develop in light of the changing care
setting.
Drawing on evidence-based practice in Europe and around
the globe, the book offers a holistic approach to nursing for adult and
pediatric patients. Written by respected professionals in the field, it
provides nurses interested in oncology with clear and comprehensive
information on the specific abilities required, with a focus on
therapeutic education, supportive care, genetic counseling and e-health.
In addition, it addresses the new role of patients as decision makers
and full partners throughout their treatment cycle.
