The COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect the health and well-being of individuals and communities worldwide. Patients with cancer are particularly vulnerable to experiencing serious health-related suffering from COVID-19. This requires oncology nurses in inpatient and clinic settings to ensure the delivery of primary palliative care while considering the far-reaching implications of this public health crisis. With palliative care skills fully integrated into oncology nursing practice, health organizations and cancer centers will be better equipped to meet the holistic needs of patients with cancer and their families receiving care for serious illness, including improved attention to physical, psychosocial, cultural, spiritual, and ethical considerations.
COVID-19 大流行继续影响着全球个人和社区的健康和福祉。癌症患者尤其容易因 COVID-19 而遭受严重的健康相关痛苦。这就要求住院和门诊环境中的肿瘤护士在考虑这一公共卫生危机的深远影响的同时,确保提供初级姑息治疗。随着姑息治疗技能完全融入肿瘤护理实践,卫生组织和癌症中心将能够更好地满足接受严重疾病护理的癌症患者及其家属的整体需求,包括更加关注身体、心理社会、文化、精神和伦理方面的考虑。
