Summary:
Friends and family who provide care at home are an important part of
the health care team, and they are most effective when given proper
guidance from health care professionals. Shorter hospital stays and
greater reliance on outpatient care for persons with cancer are
shifting a significant part of medical care into the hands of family
members and friends. To carry out these responsibilities, family
caregivers need information and guidance from health professionals.
More importantly, they need encouragement to become active problem
solvers rather than passively seeking all the solutions from medical
professionals. Written for a broad audience, this easy-to-use book
was designed for home caregivers, patients, support groups, and
education programs. This 8-1/2 x 11 workbook features easy-to-read
type and an index for quick reference. Written by oncology nurses,
social workers, psychologists, physicians, family caregivers, and
persons with cancer, this book will be of interest and assistance to
any family member or friend of a cancer patient as well as patients
themselves.
