Helping patients "find their voices" may also be referred to as advocacy or empowerment. While the word itself has become overused, the concept of empowerment is central to social work practice and is poignantly relevant to oncology work. In serving people with cancer in ways that best respect their unique voices, this author notes that social workers and nurses can work together for the greater good.
帮助患者“发出自己的声音”也可被称为支持或赋权。尽管这个词本身已被过度使用，但赋权的概念是社会工作实践的核心，且与肿瘤学工作密切相关。在以最尊重患者独特声音的方式为癌症患者服务时，本文作者指出，社会工作者和护士可以携手合作，实现更大的益处。
