This nursing assignment report focuses on the impact of psychological and social support strategies provided by nurses to cancer patients within palliative care units. The report begins with background information on palliative care, emphasizing its role in symptom relief and improving the quality of life for patients with terminal illnesses, particularly cancer patients. It highlights the importance of addressing the emotional and social needs of patients and their families, often overlooked due to the association of palliative care with end-of-life scenarios. The research question explores the effects of these support strategies on cancer patients within the palliative care unit, leading to a PICO question that defines the population (cancer patients), intervention (psychological and social support by nurses), control (patients with other illnesses), and outcome (reduction of emotional distress). The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of nursing staff's psychological and social support strategies during the treatment process in palliative care. The report includes relevant references to support the arguments. The assignment also includes a project proposal for a rapid review, detailing the project title, objectives, keywords, and background information, including a discussion of medication administration errors and the importance of evidence-based practice in clinical settings.
