Produktinformationen zu „Quality of Life Among Cancer Survivors (PDF)“
This multidisciplinary reference explores the concepts and realities of quality of life among cancer survivors in its physical, psychological, cognitive, social, and familial dimensions. Informed by a broad range of fields including genetics, psychiatry, nursing, dentistry, rehabilitation, and ethics, it addresses daily challenges of living for this population, from self-care to cultural concerns and from social interactions to experiences with providers. Family issues of pediatric, young adult, and elder survivors, caregiving parents, and siblings are a major area of concern. And contributors describe interventions for survivors as individuals, in family content, and as part of integrated care across primary and specialty settings.
Included among the topics:
- Play, leisure activities, and cognitive health among older cancer survivors.
- Genetic mutations in cancer susceptibility genes: a family history of cancer.
- Cancer patients in a pediatric intensive care unit: a single center experience.
- The impact of childhood cancer on the quality of life among healthy siblings.
- When cancer returns: family caregivers and the hospice team.
- Experiencing cancer services: a story of survival and dissatisfaction.
A significant addition to the cancer survivorship literature, Quality of Life Among Cancer Survivors is a practice-building resource for oncology and allied health professionals, health psychologists, and social workers, as well as researchers in these fields.

Pressezitat
“This book focuses on many relevant aspects including survivorship issues in both younger and older patients, the perspective of family members, concerns around tumour recurrence, and ethical considerations around cancer treatment. In this sense, this textbook has adopted a holistic view of survivorship care. … this accessible textbook offers a good overview for those interested in working with cancer survivors.” (Florien Boele, British Journal of Hospital Medicine, Vol. 79 (9), September, 2018)
