The complete care of a patient with head and neck cancer should attend to the emotional as well as the physical aspects of the disease; usually the physical component of the disease is emphasized, while care of the emotional response of the patient and family is rarely addressed. There is no single, caring way to respond or cope with the emotional aspects of this disease. Nonetheless, it should be underscored that communication between the providers of health care (i.e., physician, nurse, aid, therapist, etc.) and the patient and family should be maintained during all phases of care. This article describes an approach to providing emotional support to cancer patients and their families during the phases of initial diagnosis and treatment, posttherapy, rehabilitation, recurrence, dying, and death. The emotional response of the health care provider in these circumstances is also addressed.
对头颈癌患者的全面护理应兼顾疾病的情感和身体方面；通常，疾病的身体部分会受到更多关注，而患者及其家属的情感反应护理却很少被提及。对于这种疾病的情感方面，不存在单一的、关爱的应对方式。尽管如此，需要强调的是，在护理的各个阶段，医疗保健提供者（如医生、护士、助手、治疗师等）与患者及其家属之间都应保持沟通。本文介绍了在初始诊断和治疗阶段、治疗后阶段、康复阶段、复发阶段、临终阶段和死亡阶段为癌症患者及其家属提供情感支持的方法。同时也探讨了医疗保健提供者在这些情况下的情感反应。
