How Can Healthcare Providers Address Emotional and Psychological Harm?
Cancer diagnosis and treatment can lead to significant emotional and psychological distress. Healthcare providers can address this by:
1. Providing Counseling Services: Offering access to psychologists, social workers, and support groups can help patients and their families cope with the emotional burden of cancer. 2. Integrative Therapies: Incorporating integrative therapies such as meditation, yoga, and acupuncture can help in managing stress, anxiety, and pain. 3. Patient-Centered Care: Ensuring that care is patient-centered and involves shared decision-making can make patients feel more in control and supported.
