Jinekolojik Kanserli Hastaların Özbakım Gücüne Yönelik Bakımda Hemşirenin Rolü: Derleme.

Gynecological cancers are defined as highly malignant formations or malignant tumors that are very common in female genital organs. The roles and responsibilities undertaken to ensure the management of medical, basic health and psychosocial conditions of individuals are expressed as self-care power. Primary, secondary and tertiary symptoms experienced by patients with gynecological cancer negatively affect their self-care ability. In this context, it is seen that the self-care ability of gynecological cancer patients is low or medium level and the nurses' ability to evaluate gynecological cancer patients in terms of self-care ability is weak. Therefore, nurses, especially nurses who specialize in obstetrics and gynecology nursing, should holistically evaluate individuals with gynecological cancer, identify physical and psychosocial problems, and plan the patient's care. Knowing that within the scope of holistic health, the individual is a mental, physical and psychosocial being and that each individual's needs are different, nurses should support the self-care of gynecological cancer patients according to their addiction status. In this review, it is aimed to examine the role of the nurse in the self-care of patients with gynecological cancer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
