Abstract
Objective
This article aims to describe the key components of renal cancer nursing and multimorbidity nursing, and reflects on how adopting a multimorbidity approach to renal cancer nursing can help nurses provide holistic patient care.
Methods
This is a discussion paper drawing on relevant evidence and theory.
Results
Renal cancer nurses have a highly specialised knowledge base and are able to use this expertise to deliver excellent care to people with cancer. However, lots of people with cancer have other conditions as well. Adopting a multimorbidity approach to nursing care provides a more holistic framework for care delivery.
Conclusions
Cancer nurses are ideally placed to support patients in this way, so they are able to deliver care which accounts for factors such as treatment burden and how this impacts on patients and carers.
Implications for nursing practice
Nurses who care for people with renal cancer should view their patients through the lens of multimorbidity. This involves screening for other chronic conditions, considering polypharmacy, providing emotional support and continuity of care, and coordinating care in a way that accounts for the potentially burdensome nature of the patient's interactions with health care.
