OBJECTIVE: The aim of this paper is to search within the literature and guidelines for the best scientific evidence for the management of this very sensitive category of patients and to allow an understanding of their physical and psychological state. Stress the importance of nursing from the diagnosis of the disease to its follow-up. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A literature review was carried out, consulting articles from the best databases, mainly PubMed and Google Schoolar. In addition, the latest AIOM guidelines and articles on the website of the Italian Association for Cancer Research (AIRC), the Ministry of Health and Nurse24 were reviewed. Only Free Full Text articles have been selected. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: The management of a brain cancer patient is not simple but requires a holistic approach by a multidisciplinary team. The nursing figure has a fundamental role, following the patient and his caregivers from the moment of diagnosis until the follow-up by supporting them to improve their quality of life and to help them better cope with the daily challenges related to the disease by strengthening their residual functions. CONCLUSIONS: The nursing figure is essential at every stage of the therapeutic journey, and its expertise and sensitivity can make a significant difference in the lives of these patients. Nurses are often the first point of contact for patients, listening to their concerns and offering comfort during difficult times. This human connection is fundamental for the psychological well-being of the patient and their caregivers. Nurses also play a key role in coordinating care by acting as a link between the various members of the multidisciplinary team, ensuring that the patient receives integrated and continuous care. The care provided to these patients should be patient-centred and include physical, mental and social aspects.
OBIETTIVO: Lo scopo dell’elaborato è quello di ricercare all’ interno della letteratura e delle linee guida le migliori evidenze scientifiche per la gestione di questa categoria di pazienti molto delicata e di permettere la comprensione del loro stato fisico e psicologico. Sottolineare l’importanza della figura infermieristica dal momento della diagnosi della malattia fino al suo follow-up. MATERIALI E METODI: È stata realizzata una revisione della letteratura consultando gli articoli delle migliori banche dati principalmente PubMed e Google Schoolar. Inoltre, sono state esaminate le più recenti linee guida e articoli nel sito del portale Associazione Italiana per la ricerca sul Cancro (AIRC), Associazione Italiana di Oncologia Medica (AIOM), del Ministero della Salute e Nurse24. Sono stati selezionati esclusivamente articoli Free Full Text. RISULTATI E DISCUSSIONE: La gestione assistenziale del paziente oncologico affetto da tumore cerebrale non è semplice, ma richiede un approccio olistico da parte di un team multiprofessionale. La figura infermieristica ha un ruolo fondamentale, segue il paziente e i suoi caregivers dal momento della diagnosi fino al follow-up supportandoli per migliorare la loro qualità di vita e per aiutarli ad affrontare al meglio le sfide quotidiane legate alla malattia facendo forza sulle loro funzioni residue. CONCLUSIONI: La figura infermieristica è essenziale in ogni fase del percorso terapeutico e la sua competenza e sensibilità può fare una differenza significativa nella vita di questi pazienti. Gli infermieri sono spesso il primo punto di contatto per i pazienti, ascoltano le loro preoccupazioni e offrono conforto durante i momenti difficili. Questa connessione umana è fondamentale per il benessere psicologico del paziente e dei rispettivi caregivers. Inoltre, gli infermieri svolgono un ruolo chiave nella coordinazione delle cure fungendo da collegamento tra i vari membri del team multidisciplinare, assicurando che il paziente riceva un’assistenza integrata e continua. L’ assistenza erogata a questi pazienti deve essere centrata sul paziente e comprendere l’aspetto fisico, psichico e sociale.
