    The care of cancer is complex. In addition to treatments and consultations, providers must work succinctly on care coordination beyond oncology treatment and assist the patient and their family to mainstream back to primary care. Nevertheless, work toward continuity of care is actively engaging; the lack of utilizing the same tools to assess the patient in survivorship is absent (Snowden et al., 2011). A primary provider may often rely on the patient self-report rather than evaluating the patient based on the same criteria as the oncology unit while the patient is undergoing treatment (Breen & O’Connor, 2013; Clover et al., 2015; Hawley et al., 2010). There are multi-tiered issues; (a) cancer survivors are living longer after treatment and the expectation of improvements in the quality of life after treatment, (b) identification of hidden distresses of survivorship, (c) reliability…

    Introduction Concept Analysis, though a powerful tool, was only adapted to be used in nursing towards the end of the last Century. In 1986, Walker and Avant adapted the process, that John Wilson developed in 1960 for analyzing concepts, to be used in nursing (McEwen, 2014, p. 58). Prior to this time, there were no clear processes laid out to define the analysis of concepts in the nursing practice. Walker and Avant based their process “on Wilson’s method and clarified his methods so that graduate students could apply them to examine phenomena of interest to nurses” (McEwen, 2014, p. 58).…

    All fourteen points ensure complete and holistic care of the patient. There is an exchange that takes place between those who provide care and those cared for that goes beyond the empirical reality of the moment and incorporates the spiritual. The 'art' of providing care includes an aspect of caring that has metaphysical origins and connotations. It concerns all aspects of the human experience, physical, psychological, spiritual and social. The Gestalt approach to nursing and the inclusion of caring as a primary requisite is the heart of the concept of interactive theory as it applies to nursing and as presented by Ms. Henderson.…

    For instance, Willimon discusses pastoral care and the importance of visiting people in their own setting. He says, “There is no substitute for the pastor who counsels to also be the one who visits, who knows parishioners in the actual setting of their lives” (Willimon 104). He also says, “One great difference between a pastor and other givers of care in our society is that a pastor can take the initiative to intrude into the troubled lives of his or her people. It is part of a pastor’s role not simply to wait until hurting people reach out for help, but also to seek out and save the lost” (Willimon 104). This is an excellent point about pastoral care.…
