NURSING ADOLESCENTS AND YOUNG ADULTS WITH CANCE...

This book describes and explains how caring for adolescents and young adults with cancer (AYA)
has developed into what is now a recognized and distinct field of nursing practice. It captures
current innovative nursing practices and interventions which have developed over the past 25
years across the globe and are supported by research and evidence achieved in many European and
international oncology settings. By outlining and describing educational needs of the AYA
cancer nursing profession  this book supports its education and professional development for
the nursing profession and serves to develop and disseminate nurses¿ competencies worldwide.
During the last decade  AYA have gained increased attention in healthcare. Today  it is
recognized that AYA with cancer have distinct needs that are different to both children and
older adults. Young people are in a unique developmental and transitional phase of their lives
thus  their treatment  perspectives and experiences have been addressed in research and the
body of knowledge is growing accordingly. Some books are available that describe AYA cancer
care  service delivery and aspects of age appropriate care but this volume will be the first to
focus on how nurses contribute to AYA cancer care in practice. It will appeal to the AYA
clinical nurses in cancer care  as well as to multidisciplinary healthcare professionals and
healthcare professionals who support formal nursing education programmes  training and
development in practice.
