Such coping skills help develop a sense of self-efficacy, personal control, and resilience. Patients are responsive to the program and seem to practice their home assignments in a satisfactory manner.Implications for Nursing PracticeOncology nurses can implement some of or all of the program with their patients. The coping skills fall under the mandate of a variety of health care professionals and are readily available to present to patients. The preoperative period is a suitable time to engage patients to learn coping skills. |
