Objective

The purpose of this assignment is to enhance learners’ capabilities in creating awareness in cancer screening among Malaysian. 

Synopsis

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Much of it, though, is now regarded as avoidable. Because cancer is so common and preventable, comprehensive cancer prevention and control initiatives should play a key part in the community.

REQUIREMENT

Your organization had planned for cancer screening activities and as a person in-charge, discusses critically your ideas on promoting the awareness among the community. 

Online Class Participation

Cancer patients frequently experience psychological distress and mental health comorbidity. With mixed results, various therapeutic frameworks have been used for interventions to improve psychological well-being and quality of life in cancer patients. Psychological interventions that are effective, timely, and acceptable are an essential component of comprehensive cancer care.

Discuss how nurses can play their role to educate cancer patients on these issues.
