American College of Physicians home care guide for cancer: how to care for family and friends at home
American College of Physicians homecare guides, The College
1994
Abstract
"Friends and family who provide care at home are an important part of the health care team, and they are most effective when given proper guidance from health care professionals. Shorter hospital stays and greater reliance on outpatient care for persons with cancer are shifting a significant part of medical care into the hands of family members and friends. To carry out these responsibilities, family caregivers need information and guidance from health professionals. More importantly, they need encouragement to become active problem solvers rather than passively seeking all the solutions from medical professionals." "Written for a broad audience, this easy-to-use book was designed for home caregivers, patients, support groups, and education programs. This 8-1/2 x 11 workbook features easy-to-read type and an index for quick reference." "Written by oncology nurses, social workers, psychologists, physicians, family caregivers, and persons with cancer, this book will be of interest and assistance to any family member or friend of a cancer patient as well as patients themselves."--BOOK JACKET.
