Abstract

Various metabolic, degenerative, autoimmune, inflammatory, infectious, neoplastic, connective tissue and structural disorders may affect the musculoskeletal system. Many of these diseases have significant physical, psychosocial and financial consequences. When these problems occur, people experience a variety of individualised responses to their altered health status. Nursing care is directed towards meeting physiological needs, providing education and ensuring psychological support for the person and family.
