Nurses can employ various strategies to enhance QoL, including:
- Holistic Care: Addressing not just the physical, but also the emotional, social, and spiritual needs of patients. - Patient Education: Informing patients about their conditions, treatment options, and lifestyle changes that can improve their QoL. - Pain Management: Effective pain management can significantly enhance QoL. Nurses use both pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods to control pain. - Encouraging Physical Activity: Promoting exercises suitable for the patient's condition can improve physical health and mental well-being. - Facilitating Social Interactions: Encouraging patients to maintain social connections and participate in community activities.
