Metastatic Breast Cancer: Implications of the Model for Clinical Practice of Advanced Disease Management (U-Care Model)
Keywords:
Advanced breast cancer, Care modelAbstract
From the diagnosis of needs in this group of patients, with the work of a large group of experts in the area, an intervention model called U-Care was created. This model defines a program that aims to satisfy individual needs, from a multidimensional perspective (physical, psychosocial and spiritual), in the course of the disease, even when treatment alternatives are exhausted and the focus becomes exclusively symptomatic control. This model may also contribute to fill the gap that exists in nursing practice regarding the adoption of new methodologies and tools to support advanced breast disease, reducing the patient’s suffering and the physical and psychosocial symptomatic burden.
