Abstract

Objective

This article aims to describe the key components of renal cancer nursing and multimorbidity nursing, and reflects on how adopting a multimorbidity approach to renal cancer nursing can help nurses provide holistic patient care.

Methods

This is a discussion paper drawing on relevant evidence and theory.

Results

Renal cancer nurses have a highly specialised knowledge base and are able to use this expertise to deliver excellent care to people with cancer. However, lots of people with cancer have other conditions as well. Adopting a multimorbidity approach to nursing care provides a more holistic framework for care delivery.

Conclusions

Cancer nurses are ideally placed to support patients in this way, so they are able to deliver care which accounts for factors such as treatment burden and how this impacts on patients and carers.

Implications for nursing practice

Nurses who care for people with renal cancer should view their patients through the lens of multimorbidity. This involves screening for other chronic conditions, considering polypharmacy, providing emotional support and continuity of care, and coordinating care in a way that accounts for the potentially burdensome nature of the patient's interactions with health care.

超越指数条件：在肾癌护理中应用多病症方法。

目的本文旨在描述肾癌护理和多病护理的主要内容，并思考在肾癌护理中采用多病护理方法如何帮助护士为患者提供整体护理：本文是一篇讨论性论文，参考了相关证据和理论：肾癌护士拥有高度专业化的知识基础，能够利用这些专业知识为癌症患者提供优质护理。然而，许多癌症患者还患有其他疾病。采用多病护理方法为提供护理提供了一个更全面的框架：癌症护士是以这种方式为患者提供支持的理想人选，因此她们能够提供考虑到治疗负担等因素的护理服务，以及这些因素对患者和护理者的影响：护理肾癌患者的护士应该从多病症的角度来看待患者。这包括筛查其他慢性疾病、考虑多药治疗、提供情感支持和持续护理，以及协调护理，以考虑到患者与医疗保健互动的潜在负担。
