当患者被诊断出患有癌症时，家庭成员往往承担起提供护理的责任。他们通常不仅参与护理的诊断和治疗阶段，而且还涉及整个护理轨迹和生存。这些照顾者是癌症患者的主要支持来源。这篇文章的目的是概述家庭照顾者在癌症治疗过程中的挑战、需求和角色，并讨论专业人员可以提供什么支持。如果护理者要成功地执行护理任务，他们需要与卫生保健提供者的支持、协调和沟通。护理人员作为患者护理的合作伙伴和护理人员结果的关注值得卫生保健专业人员关注。考虑到护理员对医疗团队的价值，这一角色不应被低估。
When a patient is diagnosed with cancer, family members often assume responsibility for providing care. They are typically involved not only with the diagnostic and treatment phases of care but also across the care trajectory and into survivorship. These caregivers are a primary source of support to individuals with cancer. The purpose of this article is to present an overview of the challenges, needs, and roles of family caregivers over the course of the cancer treatment trajectory and to discuss what support the professionals can provide. Caregivers require support, coordination, and communication with health care providers if they are to be successful in carrying out tasks of care. Concern for caregivers as partners in patient care and caregiver outcomes deserves attention from health care professionals. Considering the caregivers' value to the health care team, this role should not be underestimated.
