Pre-surgery Support for Implantable Port Placement
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how nurses and other healthcare professionals can help patients prepare for implantable port surgery. An implantable port is a small device placed under the skin to make it easier to receive cancer medications or blood draws. The study explores whether specialized pre-surgery consultations reduce patient anxiety and improve the experience.
