This literature review critically analyzes the multifaceted role of nurses in cancer care, drawing from a range of primary sources. The review explores the emotional labor provided by healthcare assistants, the perspectives of healthcare staff on palliative care, and the impact of hospital and telephone follow-ups by nurses. It further investigates the psychosocial and spiritual care provided by nurses, barriers to psychosocial care, and the role of district nurses in end-of-life transitions. The review also examines the effect of nurse-led psychosocial interventions on patients with head and neck cancer, the desire for death in palliative care patients, and the cancer screening behaviors of nurses and midwives. The synthesis of these studies highlights the critical contributions of nurses in providing holistic care, managing patient well-being, and navigating the complexities of cancer treatment and palliative support.
