Integrating Family Caregivers into Palliative Oncology Care Using the Self- and
Family Management Approach. Schulman-Green D, Feder S.
OBJECTIVE: To describe the integration of family caregivers into palliative
oncology care using the Self- and Family Management Framework.
DATA SOURCES: Peer-reviewed journal articles.
CONCLUSION: The role of family caregivers in palliative oncology includes
focusing on illness needs, activating resources, and living with cancer. Several
factors may serve as facilitators of or barriers to these activities. A growing
number of interventions support family caregivers' involvement in palliative
oncology care.
IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: Nurses should identify who the family
caregiver is, confirm ability and willingness, discuss patients' and family
caregivers' goals for cancer care, activate resources, and promote ongoing
communication to support changing needs.
