Clinical journal of oncology nursing最新文献

For my senior high school capstone project, I focused on pediatric oncology, which included shadowing two physicians. I realized that although physicians do incredible work, the nurses I encountered were so hands on and appea.

Election season. Those words evoke sighs, spur eye rolls, emblazon debates, strain relationships, spark activism, and fan hope. The Clinical Journal of Oncology Nursing team works months ahead of each issue. By publication, A.

Background: Amivantamab is an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and MET bispecific antibody approved for certain patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer with EGFR variant. Cutaneous toxicities are known on-target effects of EGFR inhibition.

Objectives: This article describes the occurrence and management of cutaneous toxicities in patients whose disease progressed on platinum chemotherapy treated with amivantamab.

Methods: Post hoc analysis evaluated incidence, severity, and time to first onset of rash and paronychia. Five nurses and advanced practice providers were interviewed.

Findings: Of 380 patients, 296 (78%) experienced treatment-related rash and/or paronychia. Paronychia (43%), rash (36%), and dermatitis acneiform (35%) were most frequent, with scalp rash reported by 17%. Treatment modifications because of rash and paronychia were infrequent. Nurses and advanced practice providers collaborate with physicians to manage cutaneous toxicities by administering comedications, modifying amivantamab dose, and educating patients.

Patients receiving early palliative care experience improved quality of life, may live longer, and may have earlier referrals to hospice. Caregivers with loved ones receiving early palliative care experience improved communic.

Oncology nurse residents write legacy letters to future cohorts in the 11th month as a reflection on their transition year, focusing on lessons learned and advice gleaned. This article explores poetry as an alternative to leg.

Background: Patients diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) often undergo concurrent temozolomide and radiation therapy. Antineoplastic medication nonadherence continues to be an issue for patients with cancer.

Objectives: This quality improvement project aimed to institute an evidence-based standardized educational tool for patients with GBM undergoing concurrent temozolomide and radiation therapy.

Methods: To assess medication adherence, patients completed the Brief Adherence Rating Scale at the end of the last radiation therapy visit. Patients and providers completed satisfaction surveys.

Findings: Data analysis from the administered Brief Adherence Rating Scale demonstrated a mean of 99.3% (N = 13) medication adherence among participants. Median medication adherence was demonstrated to be 100%, with scores ranging from 93% to 100%.

This quality improvement project implemented a standardized chemotherapy class for newly diagnosed patients receiving oncology care at an urban ambulatory oncology center. Results showed high scores on patient satisfaction qu.

This article explores the relationships among cancer care, financial challenges, and mental health, emphasizing the growing significance of addressing these interconnected issues. Increased frequency of cancer diagnoses and i.

Background: In the postoperative period, patients mainly rely on caregivers, who experience their own physical and mental fatigue. Caregiver fatigue may affect patient outcomes.

Objectives: This study explored the fatigue status and influencing factors of primary caregivers of patients after liver cancer surgery.

Methods: A baseline information questionnaire, the Fatigue Scale-14, and the Barthel Index were used to investigate the self-care ability and fatigue status of 191 primary caregivers of patients with hepatic carcinoma who had had surgery.

Findings: The postoperative hospitalization time and self-care level of patients, whether the primary caregiver had health insurance, subjective feelings of fatigue, the perception that health was affected, and the patients' desired level of postoperative care were correlated with the occurrence of primary caregiver fatigue.

Background: Literature on advanced practice providers (APPs) prescribing chemotherapy independently, without physician cosignature, is limited.

Objectives: This project assessed safety and provider satisfaction for an existing independent APP chemotherapy prescribing privilege at a National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center.

Methods: Rate of Reporting to Improve Safety and Quality events associated with APPs with independent chemotherapy prescribing privileges was compared to that of physicians during a three-year period. Satisfaction of APPs with independent chemotherapy prescribing privileges was evaluated.

Findings: The odds of a reported event were higher for physicians than for APPs. APP survey responses were positive for readiness, confidence, and satisfaction with independent chemotherapy prescribing privilege.
