Abstract
Introduction: The purpose of this case study was to demonstrate the clinical decision-making process of healthcare professionals within a rehabilitation program during chemoradiotherapy (CHRT) for a high-risk patient diagnosed with stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The course of CHRT and patient's preferences, facilitators, and barriers were considered.
Case-description: The patient was a 69-year-old man with a history of rheumatoid arthritis diagnosed with stage III NSCLC.
Intervention: A home-based, personalized, and partly supervised rehabilitation program during CHRT, including aerobic, resistance, and breathing exercises, as well as nutritional counseling.
Outcomes: The patient suffered from side effects of CHRT, which required adjustments in the context and intensity of the exercises. An important facilitator for the patient was encouraged by his wife in following the home-based rehabilitation program. During home visits, the patient and physiotherapists performed the exercises together to help him to overcome the burden and motivate the patient to adhere to the rehabilitation program.
Conclusion: This case study demonstrates that physical exercise training could be performed by adjusting training intensity and the way in which the physical exercise training was delivered, while the patient experienced side effects from CHRT. In addition, the involvement and support of (in)formal caregivers seems essential for adherence to rehabilitation.
期刊介绍:
Physiotherapy Research International is an international peer reviewed journal dedicated to the exchange of knowledge that is directly relevant to specialist areas of physiotherapy theory, practice, and research. Our aim is to promote a high level of scholarship and build on the current evidence base to inform the advancement of the physiotherapy profession. We publish original research on a wide range of topics e.g. Primary research testing new physiotherapy treatments; methodological research; measurement and outcome research and qualitative research of interest to researchers, clinicians and educators. Further, we aim to publish high quality papers that represent the range of cultures and settings where physiotherapy services are delivered. We attract a wide readership from physiotherapists and others working in diverse clinical and academic settings. We aim to promote an international debate amongst the profession about current best evidence based practice. Papers are directed primarily towards the physiotherapy profession, but can be relevant to a wide range of professional groups. The growth of interdisciplinary research is also key to our aims and scope, and we encourage relevant submissions from other professional groups. The journal actively encourages submissions which utilise a breadth of different methodologies and research designs to facilitate addressing key questions related to the physiotherapy practice. PRI seeks to encourage good quality topical debates on a range of relevant issues and promote critical reflection on decision making and implementation of physiotherapy interventions.
