Abstract

The period following a cancer diagnosis is marked by significant stress for patients and their families, impacting emotional well-being and overall quality of life. Current educational efforts often fail to adequately address stress management, leaving patients and their loved ones ill-equipped to handle the psychological burden of cancer treatment. This literature review explores the enhancement of post-diagnostic education to include comprehensive stress management skills for cancer patients and their families. I hypothesize that integrating stress management into educational programs will significantly improve patients' and families' ability to cope with stress, thereby enhancing their emotional well-being and overall quality of life. To test this hypothesis, I systematically searched databases such as PubMed, PsycINFO, and CINAHL for relevant studies published in the last decade, using keywords including “cancer,” “stress management,” “post-diagnostic education,” and “patient and family support.”
