Patients perceived unique impact of symptoms on daily living. Therefore, a nurse-led person-centred approach of care is warranted. In addition to routine symptom assessment, nurses need to capture the specific impact of symptoms on day-to-day life. Based on this assessment, symptom management interventions (e.g. health education, referral) can be tailor-made and prioritised.
