Abstract
Abstract: Far more complex than merely a single system disorder, endometriosis requires a nuanced, patient-centered approach grounded in multidisciplinary care. Nurses play a vital role in this framework, working collaboratively with gynecologists, pain specialists, surgeons, mental health practitioners, and others in both operating room and clinic settings. Nurses' broad presence across the care spectrum uniquely positions them to address both physical and psychosocial challenges associated with endometriosis, contributing significantly to improved patient-centered outcomes. This article discusses nurses' roles as direct care clinicians, treatment coordinators, educators, and advocates, thereby helping to ensure that patients' values, preferences, and lived experiences inform all aspects of care planning and decision-making.
