Abstract

Palliative care nursing plays a critical role in addressing the challenges of post-operative pain and complications experienced by surgical radiology patients. Surgical radiology, involving procedures like interventional radiology, creates unique care needs due to the invasive nature of treatments and the complexity of underlying conditions. By focusing on symptom management, holistic care, and emotional support, palliative care nurses enhance patient recovery and quality of life. This article examines the methodologies, outcomes, and significance of palliative care nursing in managing post-operative pain and complications in surgical radiology, emphasizing patient-centered and collaborative approaches.
