Abstract/ Summary
It is crucial for healthcare professionals to pay close attention to the caregiving experiences of their patients. If changes in roles, self-esteem, or loss of intimacy occurs, primary care physicians should encourage open discussion. The MPPC Care Specialist is available to address emotional challenges, and health care professionals can remember this to ensure the proper care of patients.
