How is life treating you? Quality of life: a model for cancer care
Prof Nurse.
1991 Jun.
Abstract
Nursing models tend to be based on theory, and are not always rigorously tested for effectiveness. For people with cancer, often the prime nursing input is aimed at improving quality of life. A model has been developed to better facilitate this, which may also apply in other specialties.
