Track: Oncology Nursing and Care

Sub-Track:
In addition to medical care,
oncology nurses provide emotional support and guidance to patients and their
families. They help individuals cope with the physical and emotional challenges
of cancer, offering counseling, education, and resources to enhance quality of
life. Oncology nurses also facilitate communication between patients and the
healthcare team, ensuring that patients' concerns are heard and addressed. Palliative
care and symptom management are essential components of oncology nursing.
Oncology nurses work closely with interdisciplinary teams to alleviate pain,
manage treatment side effects, and enhance comfort for patients with advanced
or terminal cancer. They provide ongoing support, facilitating open and honest
discussions about end-of-life care and helping patients and families make
informed decisions. Oncology nursing also involves
survivorship care. After completing cancer treatment, patients require
long-term follow-up care to monitor for recurrence, manage late effects of
treatment, and support their transition back to normal life. Oncology nurses
play a key role in survivorship care, providing education, surveillance, and
emotional support to survivors. The field of oncology nursing is
constantly evolving with advancements in cancer research and treatment.
Oncology nurses actively engage in continuing education and stay updated on the
latest evidence-based practices to provide the highest standard of care. They are involved in educating
patients about cancer prevention strategies, performing cancer screenings, and
providing support during diagnosis and treatment planning. They also administer
chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and other cancer treatments, closely
monitoring patients for side effects and adjusting care plans accordingly.
