Les besoins des patients atteints d’un cancer avancé
Abstract
De nombreux changements surviennent chez la personne atteinte
d’une maladie fatale. Ces changements dépassent le simple domaine
physique et incluent des conséquences psychosociales, pratiques et
spirituelles. Si la maladie s’aggrave, l’impact de ces changements est
intensifié. Les infirmières qui soignent des patients atteints d’un
cancer avancé doivent pouvoir effectuer des interventions
appropriées si elles veulent favoriser l’adaptation de ces derniers.
Cet article dégage les besoins des patients atteints d’un cancer
avancé et souligne des approches qui pourraient être utilisées par les
infirmières en oncologie dans la prise en charge de ces patients. Les
données proviennent de plus d’une décennie d’entrevues auprès de
patients sur leur expérience avec le cancer, des écrits sur les besoins
des patients et de consultations avec les prestataires de soins. La
perspective globale est de voir dans les êtres humains des entités biopsycho-
socio-spirituelles. L’adoption de cette perspective a des
répercussions sur l’évaluation des patients atteints d’un cancer
avancé et sur les interventions liées à leur prise en charge.
