How Can Healthcare Providers Improve QoL for Cancer Patients?
Healthcare providers can adopt a holistic approach to improve QoL by addressing both medical and non-medical needs. This can include: - Symptom Management: Effective control of pain, nausea, and other symptoms through medications and therapies. - Psychosocial Support: Counseling, support groups, and mental health services to address emotional and psychological needs. - Rehabilitation Services: Physical therapy and occupational therapy to enhance functional abilities. - Nutritional Support: Dietary counseling to manage treatment side effects and improve overall health. - Palliative Care: Comprehensive care that focuses on relieving symptoms and improving QoL, regardless of the stage of the disease.
