Abstract

An amputee support group is integral to holistic health care. A support group provides opportunities for peers and interdisciplinary team members to meet the unique needs of amputees. Nurses have an opportunity to be involved in the initiation and facilitation of an amputee support group within a health care agency or community. The purpose of this article is to discuss the role of nursing in developing an amputee support group.
