Specialist Breast Care Nurses (SBCNs) provide essential support and treatment for women experiencing breast cancer and their families (Cruickshank, Kennedy, Lockhart, Dosser & Dallas, 2008; Liebert, Parle, White & Rodger, 2001; Rogers-Clark, 2002; Yates et al., 2007). The broad role of the SBCN is to coordinate care and provide ongoing psychological support to women with breast cancer and their families during diagnosis, treatment rehabilitation, follow-up and palliative care (Yates et al., 2007). This study addressed the gap in practice and research around support for SBCNs working in regional, rural and remote Queensland.
