Collaboration between palliative care nurses and oral health professionals has been frequently recommended to ensure optimal oral healthcare. However, the importance of this collaboration to the success of evidence-based protocols, involving oral healthcare interventions in the inpatient palliative care setting, is less discussed. Feasibility requires consideration during the planning, intervention and implementation phases of any clinical trial; all of which typically rely on good collaboration with nursing staff. Therefore, it is imperative that nursing staff appreciate the need for oral healthcare at the end of a person's life. Nursing and dental collaboration is critical to the feasibility of running research trials in this group and can help overcome some of the logistical and ethical challenges in this vulnerable population.

姑息护理护士和口腔卫生专业人员之间的合作经常被建议,以确保最佳的口腔保健。然而,这种合作对基于证据的协议的成功的重要性,涉及住院姑息治疗环境中的口腔保健干预,很少被讨论。可行性需要在任何临床试验的计划、干预和实施阶段进行考虑;所有这些通常都依赖于与护理人员的良好合作。因此,护理人员必须认识到在一个人的生命结束时需要口腔保健。护理和牙科合作对于在这一群体中开展研究试验的可行性至关重要,可以帮助克服这一弱势群体的一些后勤和伦理挑战。

Background: Malignant pleural effusions (MPEs) are common. They are associated with a poor prognosis and high symptom burden. Previous studies have focused primarily on breathlessness.

Aim: To evaluate whether interventions to treat MPEs impact on fatigue levels and to test the feasibility of the methodology.

Methods: A prospective pilot study was conducted at a single Trust's adult pleural service over a 7 month period. It used a validated outcome measure, Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-F) to assess fatigue levels pre-intervention for MPE, which was repeated at 7, 14 and 30 days intervals. Data were gathered on patient demographics and potential confounding factors. The feasibility of the methodology was assessed. Recruitment targets had to be revised due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Results: Mean age was 73 years (range 44 to 88), with a predominance of lung cancer and mesothelioma (n=16/25). Patients were willing to participate and the methodology appeared acceptable. High attrition rate was due to deteriorating participant health, rather than unacceptability of study design. For those who completed 30-day follow up (n=11/25), there was an improvement in fatigue scores. The majority of patients screened were recruited to the trial.

Conclusion: This study met its aims in confirming the acceptability of the study protocol and suggested that intervention for MPE improved fatigue levels. However, the sample size was small and a further larger statistically powered study should be undertaken before conclusions can be drawn to influence clinical practice.

背景:恶性胸腔积液是常见的。它们与不良预后和高症状负担有关。以前的研究主要集中在呼吸困难上。目的:评估治疗MPEs的干预措施是否会影响疲劳水平,并测试该方法的可行性。方法:在一家信托公司的成人胸膜服务中心进行为期7个月的前瞻性试点研究。它使用了一种经过验证的结果测量方法,慢性疾病治疗疲劳的功能评估(FACIT-F)来评估MPE干预前的疲劳水平,干预间隔7、14和30天。收集了有关患者人口统计和潜在混杂因素的数据。评估了该方法的可行性。由于新冠肺炎大流行,招聘目标不得不修订。结果:平均年龄73岁(44至88岁),以肺癌和间皮瘤为主(n=16/25)。患者愿意参与,方法似乎是可以接受的。高流失率是由于参与者健康状况恶化,而不是研究设计的不可接受性。对于那些完成了30天随访的患者(n=11/25),疲劳评分有所改善。大多数接受筛查的患者被招募参加试验。结论:本研究达到了确认研究方案可接受性的目的,并表明MPE的干预可以改善疲劳水平。然而,样本量很小,在得出影响临床实践的结论之前,应该进行更大规模的统计研究。

Background: In palliative care, caregivers frequently act as surrogate decision-makers, but their knowledge of patients' preferences for end-of-life care is sometimes scarce and incorrect. Advance Directives might be a powerful communication tool to promote the dialogue between patients and caregivers.

Aims: This work aims to find evidence supporting the use of the Advance Directives documents by health practitioners as a communication tool to improve caregivers' capacity as health surrogates in palliative care.

Methods: A literature review was conducted in four databases-Medline, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane to identify studies published until February 27th, 2021, analysing advance directive's use as a communication tool between palliative patients and their caregivers.

Findings: Of the 1251 papers screened, only one article met the defined criteria, presenting results statistically favourable to advance directive's use, although with the risk of significant bias.

Conclusions: Although the results seem promising, more studies are needed to validate this strategy scientifically.

背景:在姑息治疗中,护理人员经常充当替代决策者,但他们对患者临终关怀偏好的了解有时是稀缺和不正确的。预先指示可能是一个强大的沟通工具,以促进患者和护理人员之间的对话。目的:这项工作的目的是找到证据支持使用预先指示文件的卫生从业人员作为一种沟通工具,以提高护理人员的能力作为健康代理人在姑息治疗。方法:在medline、Web of Science、Scopus和Cochrane四个数据库中进行文献综述,以确定截至2021年2月27日发表的研究,分析预先指示作为姑息治疗患者与其护理人员之间沟通工具的使用情况。研究结果:在1251篇被筛选的论文中,只有一篇文章符合定义的标准,尽管存在显著偏倚的风险,但统计结果有利于提前指示的使用。结论:虽然结果看起来很有希望,但需要更多的研究来科学地验证这一策略。

Background: Nursing interventions aimed at family caregivers of palliative cancer patients require not only an objective evaluation, but also subjective consideration of their contributions, and a qualitative evaluation that provides an in-depth understanding of these interventions.

Aims: This study aimed to explore the perceptions that family caregivers of palliative cancer patients had of the nursing intervention, PalliActive Caregivers, in reducing the uncertainty associated with illness and improving the caregiver's quality of life.

Methods: A qualitative approach with content analysis was used. Telephone interviews were conducted with 23 caregivers who participated in the intervention.

Findings: Five themes emerged from the content analysis: consolidating physical care, adopting a positive attitude, strengthening the support available to the caregiver, strengthening spirituality and strengthening relationships.

Conclusion: The themes showed a positive impact of the intervention on aspects such as the caregiver's ability to cope, spirituality and social support of caregivers. The results also indicated the possibility of conducting this type of study to identify other assessment variables for future interventions.

背景:针对姑息性癌症患者家属的护理干预不仅需要客观评价,还需要主观考虑其贡献,并进行定性评价,以深入了解这些干预措施。目的:本研究旨在探讨姑息性癌症患者的家庭照护者对姑息性癌症患者的护理干预(PalliActive caregivers)在减少与疾病相关的不确定性和改善照护者生活质量方面的认知。方法:采用定性分析和含量分析相结合的方法。对参与干预的23名护理人员进行了电话采访。结果:从内容分析中得出五个主题:加强身体护理、采取积极的态度、加强对照顾者的支持、加强精神和加强关系。结论:主题干预对照顾者的应对能力、精神状态和社会支持等方面均有积极影响。结果还表明,进行此类研究以确定未来干预措施的其他评估变量的可能性。

Background: A terminally ill child should have the possibility to be at home with their family during the end of life. Provision of care from primary care nurses (PCNs) is crucial, but no model exists on how specialised paediatric palliative care teams (SPPCTs) support the PCNs to perform this task.

Aim: To investigate how PCNs evaluated a shared care model between a SPPCT and PCNs in paediatric end-of-life care.

Method: A 23-item questionnaire was distributed to PCNs involved in care of 14 terminally ill children in November 2019 and January 2020. Descriptive statistics were used.

Findings: A total of 20 questionnaires were returned from nurses who agreed/completely agreed that an introductory meeting made them better prepared (78.9%) to deal with the death of a child in their care, cooperating with family members (70.6%) and dealing with own emotions (73.7%). A total of 69.2% felt the meeting helped coping with parents' pressure and 88.9% stated that the trajectory changed how they saw themselves involved in future paediatric palliative care.

Conclusion: The shared care model was evaluated positively. Clear agreements and specialist support were prerequisites for good trajectories at the end of life. Further research is needed to investigate if the shared care model optimises palliative care and security in relation to child and family.

背景:一个身患绝症的孩子应该有可能在生命的最后时刻呆在家里和家人在一起。初级保健护士(pcn)提供护理是至关重要的,但目前还没有专门的儿科姑息治疗小组(sppct)如何支持pcn执行这项任务的模式。目的:研究pcn如何评估SPPCT和pcn在儿科临终关怀中的共享护理模式。方法:于2019年11月和2020年1月对14名临终儿童的护理人员进行问卷调查。采用描述性统计。结果:共收到20份问卷,受访护士同意或完全同意介绍会使她们更好地准备(78.9%)处理所照顾的儿童死亡、与家属合作(70.6%)和处理自己的情绪(73.7%)。共有69.2%的人认为会议有助于应对父母的压力,88.9%的人表示,这次会议改变了他们对自己参与未来儿科姑息治疗的看法。结论:对共享护理模式给予积极评价。明确的协议和专家支持是生命结束时良好轨迹的先决条件。需要进一步的研究来调查是否共享护理模式优化姑息治疗和安全有关的儿童和家庭。

'Into the fire': a focus group study of redeployed staff during the COVID-19 pandemic. “走进火海”:对COVID-19大流行期间重新部署的工作人员进行的焦点小组研究。
IF 1 Q4 NURSING Pub Date : 2023-06-02 DOI: 10.12968/ijpn.2023.29.6.274
Laura Green, Fiona Murphy, Alice Davies

Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, redeployed staff whose services were temporarily suspended were offered a range of opportunities for work to support efforts to manage the impact of the pandemic. A new team, known as the Cygnets was established within an existing team SWAN, to provide non-specialist end of life and bereavement care during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is important to evaluate new services and one important component of this is understanding the perceptions of those staff who took on the new role.

Aim: To evaluate the service from the perspectives of staff.

Method: A purposive sample of 14 NHS staff who had worked as Cygnets during the COVID-19 pandemic took part in three focus groups.

Results: The themes identified broadly followed the focus group schedule. Participants considered that overall, they had benefited greatly from the challenge of taking on the Cygnet role, and that this had been a learning experience.

Conclusions: This was a rapid response to a need for increased provision of compassionate end-of-life care and was a beneficial experience for staff. More research is required into the broader value of the role within the hospital infrastructure.

背景:在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间,服务暂停的重新部署工作人员获得了一系列工作机会,以支持管理大流行影响的努力。在现有的SWAN团队内成立了一个名为“小天鹅”的新团队,在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间提供非专业的临终关怀和丧亲护理。评价新的服务是很重要的,其中一个重要组成部分是了解承担新任务的工作人员的看法。目的:从员工的角度对服务进行评价。方法:有目的地抽取14名在COVID-19大流行期间担任小天鹅工作的NHS工作人员参加三个焦点小组。结果:确定的主题大致符合焦点小组时间表。参加者认为,整体而言,他们从担当小天鹅角色的挑战中获益匪浅,并认为这是一次学习的经验。结论:这是对需要增加提供富有同情心的临终关怀的快速反应,对工作人员来说是一次有益的经历。需要对医院基础设施中角色的更广泛价值进行更多的研究。
