Breast cancer is one of the most common cancer types among women globally and is a manageable disease with early diagnosis and treatment. Healthy lifestyle changes and regular screening programs play a crucial role in reducing the risk of breast cancer. Nurses play a vital role in increasing patient participation in screening programs, managing treatment side effects, and providing emotional support. Multidisciplinary treatment approaches, combining surgical interventions, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and hormonal therapies, aim to improve the quality of life of patients. Nursing interventions have been effective in improving patients' quality of life by reducing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and fatigue. Consequently, the critical role of nurses in the fight against breast cancer is to improve patients' quality of life and enhance their treatment adherence by adopting holistic approaches that address both physical and psychosocial needs.

MEME KANSERİ VE HEMŞİRELİK YÖNETİMİ

Öz

Meme kanseri küresel anlamda kadın cinsiyette en sık rastlanan kanser türlerinden biri olup, erken teşhis ve tedavi ile yönetilebilir bir hastalıktır. Meme kanseri riskini azaltmada sağlıklı yaşam tarzı değişiklikleri ve düzenli tarama programlarının önemi büyüktür. Hemşireler, bu süreçte hastaların tarama programlarına katılımını artırma, tedavi yan etkilerini yönetme ve duygusal destek sağlama konularında hayati bir rol oynar. Multidisipliner tedavi yaklaşımları, cerrahi müdahaleler, radyoterapi, kemoterapi ve hormonal tedavilerle birleştirilerek hastaların yaşam kalitesini artırmayı hedefler. Hemşirelik müdahaleleri, anksiyete, depresyon ve yorgunluk gibi semptomları azaltarak hastaların yaşam kalitesini iyileştirmede etkili olmuştur. Sonuç olarak, meme kanseriyle mücadelede hemşirelerin kritik rolü, hastaların fiziksel ve psikososyal ihtiyaçlarını karşılamaya yönelik bütüncül yaklaşımlar benimseyerek hastaların yaşam kalitesini iyileştirmek ve tedaviye uyumlarını artırmaktır.
