Background of the Study
Oncology care often requires a collaborative approach involving various healthcare professionals, including oncologists, nurses, dietitians, psychologists, and social workers. Multidisciplinary teams have been shown to improve patient outcomes through integrated care plans. This study will evaluate the impact of multidisciplinary team approaches on the quality of oncology nursing care at the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital.
