Abstract:
Addressing various dimensions of well-being can help improve oncology patients' symptoms and their overall quality of life (QOL); similar strategies can be used to support caregivers of oncology patients to improve not only QOL of the caregiver, but the patient. Beyond patient and caregiver support, interventions focusing on dimensions of well-being can improve the culture of wellness, practice efficiency, and enhance personal resilience among oncology providers to mitigate burnout. Herein, the authors discuss multiple evidence-based strategies to improve well-being of oncology patients, caregivers, and providers.
