"The specificity of nursing access to a patient with malignant diseases"

Maligne bolesti danas su u svijetu, ali i u Hrvatskoj javnozdravstveni problem. Broj oboljelih od malignih bolesti raste, a nepravovremeno dijagnosticiranje maligne bolesti najĉešće završava smrću. Bolesnici s malignim oboljenjima zahtijevaju multidisciplinarni pristup u lijeĉenju jer se maligne bolesti manifestiraju na razliĉite dijelove organizma. Maligne bolesti ĉesto dovode i do psiholoških i socijalnih problema koji se takoĊer moraju uzeti u obzir prilikom lijeĉenja pacijenata. Dio multidisciplinarnog tima je i medicinska sestra. Medicinska sestra ima vrlo zahtijevnu ulogu u skbi o malignim bolesnicima. Provedeno primarno istraţivanje u Dubrovaĉkoj bolnici pokazalo je da medicinske sestre u radu s malignim bolesnicima imaju vrlo kompleksan zadatak koji ukljuĉuje njihovo poznavanje fiziĉkog, psihiĉkog i socijalnog stanja pacijenta. Medicinske sestre moraju imati znanje na podruĉju struke, razvijene komunikacijske vještine, razvijenu empatiju i emocionalnu inteligenciju. Sve to govori da je rad s pacijentima oboljelim od malignih bolesti zahtjevan i izaziva više emocionalnog sagorijevanja u odnosu na rad s pacijentima oboljelima od drugih bolesti.Malignant illness today in the world, but also in Croatia is a public health problem. The number of malignant diseases is increas in grand mal administration of malignant disease is usually terminated by death. Patients with malignant illness require a multidisciplinary approach to treatment because malignant diseases manifest themselves in different parts of the body. Malignant diseases often lead to psychological and social problems that also need to be considered when treating patients. A part of the multidisciplinary team is also a nurse. The nurse has a very demanding role in the treatment of malignant patients. The primary research conducted at the Dubrovnik hospital showed that nurses working with malignant patients have a very complex task that includes their knowledge of the physical, mental and social condition of the patient. Nurses must have knowledge in the field of the profession, developed communication skills, developed empathy and emotional intelligence. All this suggests that working with patients with malignant diseases is demanding and provokes more emotional burns in relation to working with patients suffering from other diseases
