Heart Pillow - Chemoteraphy
Sponsor: José Manuel Afonso Moreira
Summary
Breast cancer is a health problem with increasing prevalence, along with more effective therapeutic responses and less mutilating surgeries. The process of caring for patients crosses different levels: the diagnostic phase, which is mostly outpatient, the surgical treatment phase, which is mostly short-term inpatient, and the medical treatment phase in a day hospital. An integrated and structured care model based on specialized nursing skills can help improve self-care, quality of life and well-being.
