Abstract

A demonstration education and counselling project for cancer patients was developed in a community hospital. A team comprising a psychologist and a nurse patient educator were added to existing hospital staff. Based on this experience, we have defined the primary educational and emotional needs of the cancer patient and delineated the related functions and activities of project staff. The organization, nature, and volume of the education and counselling services are presented to provide a framework for others interested in embarking on similar efforts.
