Nursing Research in Cancer Care (Hardcover)

This text reviews and brings nurses up-to-date on important recent research in cancer care. It creates an overview of studies which are considered critical for the development of nursing practice by drawing together the work of 18 researchers. The topics are relevant to patients' needs but as the research approaches are eclectic, many methods are employed to answer quite different questions. The book is divided into five parts: standards and role evaluation; culture and society; cancer and personal relationships; emotional reactions and communications; and physical problems - consequences for nursing care.
