How can caregivers assist with the emotional needs of cancer patients?
Caregivers can play a vital role in addressing the emotional needs of cancer patients. Active listening and providing a non-judgmental space for patients to express their feelings is essential. Encouraging patients to participate in activities they enjoy and helping them maintain social connections can improve their emotional well-being. Sometimes, it may be necessary to involve a mental health professional, such as a psychologist or psychiatrist, to address more serious emotional or psychological issues.
