Everyone knows about lung cancer care, such as diet and health care, postoperative observation. However, many people tend to ignore psychological care which is actually a particularly important point.
Psychological counseling
Lung cancer patients are psychologically and physiologically fragile, especially when they are just diagnosed, which is difficult for patients and their families to accept.
When patients are admitted to the hospital, nurses can introduce them to the ward environment and the attending doctors to eliminate the patients’ tension and reduce their fear.
At the same time, they can also help patients get to know other patients, guide their families to give strong support in spirit and life, grasp the psychological changes of patients in a timely manner, and take various forms to do a good job in psychological counseling for patients.
Meet the psychological needs of patients
Lung cancer patients have many restricted needs, which in turn affect their emotions and behaviors. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully observe the needs of patients and meet their various needs, which is also a common requirement for psychological care of lung cancer.
