Abstract

Health-care professionals may feel at a loss when caring for the individual faced with a life-threatening illness who is also depressed, and may even consider that depression in such circumstances is inevitable. Assessment of the individual's mental state may be made difficult by physical symptoms and other factors, meaning that the individual does not always receive the necessary care. This paper hopes to show how simple, humanistic nursing interventions may help to improve the quality of life of such individuals.
