Abstract

Investigating patients' reports on the quality and consistency of melanoma follow-up care in Australia would assist in evaluating if this care is effective and meeting patients' needs. The objective of this study was to obtain and explore the patients' account of the technical and interpersonal aspects of melanoma follow-up care received. An online survey was conducted to acquire details of patients' experience. Participants were patients treated in Australia for primary melanoma. Qualitative and quantitative data about patient perceptions of the nature and quality of their follow-up care were collected, including provision of melanoma specific information, psychosocial support, and imaging tests received. Inconsistencies were reported in the provision and quality of care received. Patient satisfaction was generally low and provision of reassurance from health professionals was construed as an essential element of quality of care. "Gaps" in follow-up care for melanoma patients were identified, particularly provision of adequate psychosocial support and patient education. Focus on strategies for greater consistency in the provision of support, information, and investigations received, may generate a cost dividend which could be reinvested in preventive and supportive care and benefit patient well-being.

黑素瘤随访护理的经验:澳大利亚患者的在线调查。
调查澳大利亚黑色素瘤随访治疗的质量和一致性的患者报告将有助于评估这种治疗是否有效并满足患者的需求。本研究的目的是获取和探讨患者对黑素瘤随访治疗的技术和人际关系方面的描述。进行了一项在线调查,以获取患者体验的细节。参与者是在澳大利亚接受原发性黑色素瘤治疗的患者。收集了关于患者对其后续护理性质和质量的看法的定性和定量数据,包括提供黑色素瘤特定信息、社会心理支持和接受的影像学检查。据报告,所接受的护理的提供和质量不一致。患者满意度普遍较低,保健专业人员提供的保证被视为护理质量的基本要素。确定了黑色素瘤患者随访护理的“差距”,特别是提供足够的社会心理支持和患者教育。注重在提供支持、信息和接受的调查方面更加一致的战略,可能会产生成本红利,可将其再投资于预防性和支持性护理,并有利于患者福祉。

期刊介绍: Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
