Breast cancer. Part 3: Psychosocial care.
Psychosocial care, information-giving and issues surrounding patient choice are important aspects in the nursing care of women with breast cancer. Patients with breast cancer consistently identify communication as an area of central importance. The nurse, specialist or otherwise, has an important role in addressing patients' needs following diagnosis and treatment for breast cancer.
