Abstract
Cancer is a disease that changes the way one thinks about life, threatens to impair one's performance, and also change one's appearance. Being diagnosed with cancer causes a buzz in a person's life. Patient nurses should try to control their level of emotional distress while making vital decisions about treatment. The patient's main concerns include fears of death, dependence, malformation, disability, rejection and severance, and financial issues. Patient reactions are modulated by psychological and interpersonal factors. Medical factors include tumor location, symptoms, and course of the disease. Psychological factors include temperament, ability to adapt, ego power and the evolutionary stage of life, and the effects and meaning of cancer at that stage. Interpersonal factors are related to family and social support. Patients may experience anxiety, sadness, fear, and anger, or may become numb. Sin and the common mechanisms play a major role in it. Cognitively, patients may be aggressively seeking information, or may be confused or paralyzed or unable to concentrate. Physical complaints may increase and daily activities, appetite and sleep may be disturbed. Acute stress reactions may be severe but are usually variable and transient. When the disorder lasts for more than 10-14 days, Baciti evaluates the patient for psychiatric status.
