Abstract
The study complements existing knowledge of caring for TYAs with cancer, showing how oncology nurses can use their knowledge and position to facilitate involvement of the patients' social network. It contributes with a theoretical framework for clinical practice that offers insight into an unexplored area of nursing. Network-focused nursing is a complex and demanding practice that needs to be addressed by nurses, educators, researchers and health policy makers.
