Although statistical survival of patients with malignant brain tumor is dismal and their care can be emotionally exhausting, it is hopeful and rewarding to the critical care nurse to participate in a clinical investigation that will improve the future of these patients. Each therapy cycle administered, each patient treated, and each family member is different; each is a challenge for the critical care nurse. The quality and success of a clinical investigation requires the commitment of many people working together in close team effort. With effective communication, insight, and cooperation the critical care nurse working in this research setting shares in the patient's and family's hope and determination for the future of improved medical and nursing management of malignant brain tumors.
尽管恶性脑肿瘤患者的统计学生存率很低，对他们的护理可能会让人在情感上精疲力竭，但参与一项能够改善这些患者未来的临床研究，对于重症护理护士来说是充满希望且有意义的。每个给药的治疗周期、每个接受治疗的患者以及每个家庭成员都是不同的；每一个对于重症护理护士来说都是一项挑战。一项临床研究的质量和成功需要许多人紧密协作共同努力。通过有效的沟通、洞察力和合作，在这个研究环境中工作的重症护理护士能够与患者及其家人一同怀揣对未来改善恶性脑肿瘤医疗和护理管理的希望与决心。
