Purpose

This study aims to determine the relationship between psychological resilience, coping strategies and the fear of cancer recurrence in women who have undergone surgical procedures due to breast cancer.

Methods

The study was conducted using a descriptive, cross-sectional, and correlational research design. The sample of the study consisted of 252 women. Data were collected with The Patient Information Form, The Psychological Resilience Scale for Adults, The Ways of Coping Questionnaire and The Fear of Cancer Recurrence Inventory.

Results

The mean scores of Psychological Resilience Scale for Adults, Fear of Cancer Recurrence Inventory, and the optimistic and self-confident subscales of the Ways of Coping Questionnaire among participants were found to be above average. The mean scores of the seeking social support and submissive subscales were at a moderate level, while the mean scores of the hopelessness approach subscale were below the moderate level. A moderate positive significant relationship was found between the total mean score of the Psychological Resilience Scale for Adults and the mean scores of the optimistic approach, self-confident approach, submissive approach, and seeking social support subscales of the Ways of Coping Questionnaire.

Conclusion

A direct relationship was found between psychological resilience and coping strategies. However, this relationship could not be found with fear of cancer recurrence. It was concluded that the level of psychological resilience and coping strategies among breast cancer survivors can be positively influenced through the implementation of professional interventions aimed at fostering growth, addressing the initial cancer diagnosis, and promoting healthy adaptation.

目的：本研究旨在确定因乳腺癌接受外科手术的妇女的心理复原力、应对策略和对癌症复发的恐惧之间的关系：研究采用描述性、横断面和相关性研究设计。研究样本包括 252 名妇女。通过患者信息表、成人心理弹性量表、应对方式问卷和癌症复发恐惧量表收集数据：结果发现，参与者的成人心理复原量表、癌症复发恐惧量表以及应对方式问卷中的乐观和自信分量表的平均得分均高于平均水平。寻求社会支持分量表和顺从分量表的平均得分处于中等水平，而绝望方式分量表的平均得分低于中等水平。成人心理复原力量表的总平均分与应对方式问卷的乐观方式、自信方式、顺从方式和寻求社会支持分量表的平均分之间存在中等程度的正相关关系：结论：心理复原力与应对策略之间存在直接关系。结论：心理复原力与应对策略之间存在直接关系，但这种关系与癌症复发恐惧之间并不存在。结论：通过实施旨在促进成长、解决最初的癌症诊断和促进健康适应的专业干预措施，可对乳腺癌幸存者的心理复原力和应对策略水平产生积极影响。

Purpose

Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is a prevalent and distressing symptom experienced by people affected by cancer. A breakdown of the clinician-patient partnership and suboptimal clinician communication has been identified as a significant barrier to implementing into clinical practice effective self-management strategies for CRF. This study examined the use and impact of communication practices employed by trained cancer nurse counsellors when providing CRF self-management support to cancer survivors.

Methods

Interactions from 41 telehealth consultations between three nurse counsellors and 23 cancer survivors in a CRF self-management support clinic in Queensland, Australia were recorded and analysed using conversation analysis methods.

Results

Analysis found that in instances where nurses established the agenda of a consultation from the outset of a session (e.g., focusing on fatigue self-management support), cancer survivors displayed clearer understandings of their self-management role, the tasks, and goals of a session; and displayed less difficulty engaging in supportive care discussions. Furthermore, clinicians used formulation practices, such as summarising dialogue, to sustain focus on fatigue during consultations, and to close discussion matters not ostensibly pertinent to fatigue self-management planning supporting the goals of the CRF SMS clinic consultations.

Conclusion

For supportive care sessions targeting fatigue management, clinicians should ideally focus discussion on CRF support early, by clearly introducing the agenda at the outset of the consultation while also asking for client agreement. Periodically summarising patient's talk allows clinicians to maintain a focus on matters relevant for self-management fatigue planning and provide support within the typically constrained timeframes allocated for addressing CRF.

目的：癌症相关疲劳（CRF）是癌症患者普遍存在的一种痛苦症状。临床医生与患者之间的合作关系破裂以及临床医生沟通不畅被认为是在临床实践中实施有效的 CRF 自我管理策略的重大障碍。本研究考察了训练有素的癌症护士顾问在为癌症幸存者提供 CRF 自我管理支持时采用的沟通方法及其影响：方法：在澳大利亚昆士兰州的一家 CRF 自我管理支持诊所，记录了 3 名护士顾问与 23 名癌症幸存者之间的 41 次远程咨询互动，并使用对话分析方法对其进行了分析：分析发现，如果护士在会话一开始就确定了咨询议程（例如，重点关注疲劳自我管理支持），癌症幸存者对其自我管理角色、任务和会话目标的理解就会更加清晰，参与支持性护理讨论的难度也会降低。此外，临床医生在咨询过程中使用了总结对话等表述方法，以保持对疲劳的关注，并结束表面上与疲劳自我管理规划无关的讨论，从而支持 CRF SMS 诊所咨询的目标：结论：对于以疲劳管理为目标的支持性护理会诊，临床医生最好能在会诊开始时明确介绍会诊议程，并征得患者同意，从而尽早将讨论重点放在 CRF 支持上。定期总结患者的谈话内容可使临床医生继续关注与自我管理疲劳计划相关的事项，并在通常分配给解决 CRF 问题的有限时间内提供支持。

Purpose

Nurses are acknowledged as essential in the delivery of best practice gynaecological cancer care however previous studies have identified challenges in these nursing roles. Recommendations include the development of nursing guidance focused on supporting people with a gynaecological cancer. This study aimed to explore perceptions and expectations for the development of a gynaecological cancer nursing guidance resource in Australia and investigate preferred design and content inclusion. This paper presents the findings on expectations for the resource purpose.

Methods

Utilising an exploratory qualitative descriptive design, 20 nurses and seven people with lived experience of gynaecological cancer participated in focus groups or interviews following a semi-structured interview guide. Transcripts underwent inductive content analysis.

Results

All 27 participants identified as female, lived in one of 5 Australian states, included representation from regional locations (n=9, 33%), and mostly identified as Australian or mixed Australian ethnicity (n=25, 93%). The major theme, “Foundational support resource for nurses”, described how participants require a resource to support the delivery of gynaecological cancer nursing care. Participants articulated their goals for the resource through four subthemes: reducing variation in care; acknowledging diversity in nursing roles; addressing barriers; supporting development.

Conclusion

The development of a guidance resource for gynaecological cancer nursing is supported by Australian gynaecological cancer nurses and people with cancer lived experience. It is expected its implementation will assist to improve cancer outcomes, equitable access to quality care and support the development and sustainability of the gynaecological cancer nursing workforce.

目的：护士被认为是提供最佳妇科癌症护理的关键，但以往的研究发现了这些护理角色所面临的挑战。建议包括制定以支持妇科癌症患者为重点的护理指南。本研究旨在探讨澳大利亚对开发妇科癌症护理指导资源的看法和期望，并调查首选设计和内容纳入情况。本文介绍了对资源目的期望的调查结果：采用探索性定性描述设计，20 名护士和 7 名妇科癌症患者按照半结构化访谈指南参加了焦点小组或访谈。对访谈记录进行了归纳内容分析：所有 27 名参与者均为女性，居住在澳大利亚 5 个州中的一个州，其中包括来自地区的代表（9 人，占 33%），大多数人被认定为澳大利亚人或澳大利亚混血儿（25 人，占 93%）。主要专题 "护士的基础支持资源 "描述了参与者如何需要一种资源来支持妇科癌症护理工作的开展。参与者通过四个次主题阐述了他们对资源的目标：减少护理中的差异；承认护理角色的多样性；解决障碍；支持发展：结论：妇科癌症护理指导资源的开发得到了澳大利亚妇科癌症护士和癌症患者的支持。预计该指导资源的实施将有助于改善癌症治疗效果，使人们能够公平地获得优质护理服务，并支持妇科癌症护理人员队伍的发展和可持续性。

Purpose

This study investigates the relationship between changes in nutritional status during treatment and overall survival in NPC patients.

Method

Using a prospective cohort design, the electronic health records of newly diagnosed NPC patients from a medical center in Taiwan (from January 1, 2018, to March 31, 2024) were analyzed. A total of 73 newly diagnosed NPC patients were tracked; nutritional indicators such as body mass index (BMI), prealbumin levels, and Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) scores were recorded at four time points: one week before treatment, the first week of treatment, and four and eight weeks after treatment began.

Results

The study found that most patients experienced a decrease in BMI (B = −0.62, p < .001) and prealbumin levels (B = −0.79, p = .015) during treatment, although BMI remained in the overweight range and prealbumin stayed within normal levels. PG-SGA scores increased (B = 1.01, p < .001), indicating a shift from low to moderate nutritional risk. Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that the Charlson Comorbidity Index (HR = 1.86, 95% CI: 1.38–2.51), NPC stage (HR = 15.67, 95% CI: 2.07–118.61), treatment method (HR = 2.96, 95% CI: 1.45–6.04), prealbumin (HR = 2.95, 95% CI: 1.46–5.99), and PG-SGA score trajectories (HR = 2.85, 95% CI: 1.27–6.40) were associated with overall survival. However, multivariate analysis revealed that the survival of NPC patients was only associated with CCI and NPC stage.

Conclusions

The study underscores the importance of monitoring nutritional status changes during treatment, particularly prealbumin and PG-SGA trajectories.

Purpose

To explore the potential effects of frailty on chemotherapy intolerance in patients with cervical cancer.

Methods

A longitudinal study of patients with cervical cancer undergoing postoperative Adjuvant Chemotherapy (ACT) was conducted at a hospital in Northwest China from July 2020 to December 2021. Baseline frailty was assessed using the Tilburg Frailty Indicator. Chemotherapy intolerance was obtained from electronic medical records during the intervals between each postoperative chemotherapy session. We used Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) to determine the predictors and cox regression analysis to analyze the impact of frailty on chemotherapy intolerance.

Results

A total of 259 patients with postoperative cervical cancer with a mean age of 52.5 years (SD = 10.3) participated in this study. The incidence of chemotherapy intolerance in the frail group at T1, T2, T3 and T4 was 51.6%, 38.9%, 55.6% and 73.7%, respectively. The patients with frailty were more likely to have chemotherapy intolerance (OR = 1.495, 95% CI: 1.074–2.080, P < 0.05), prolonged hospitalizations (OR = 1.577, 95% CI: 1.086–2.291, P < 0.05) and unplanned readmissions (OR = 2.304, 95% CI: 1.387–3.829, P < 0.05) compared to the patients without frailty. Cox regression analysis showed that frailty increased the risk of chemotherapy intolerance by 1.681-fold (HR = 1.681, 95%CI 1.041–2.713; P < 0.05) and unplanned readmissions by 2.812-fold (HR = 2.812, 95%CI 1.521–5.200; P < 0.05).

Conclusions

Frailty can lead to an increased risk of chemotherapy intolerance in patients with cervical cancer undergoing postoperative ACT, and patients with frailty are more likely to experience prolonged hospitalizations and unplanned readmissions.

目的：探讨虚弱对宫颈癌患者化疗不耐受的潜在影响：2020年7月至2021年12月，在中国西北地区的一家医院对接受术后辅助化疗（ACT）的宫颈癌患者进行了一项纵向研究。基线虚弱程度采用蒂尔堡虚弱指标进行评估。化疗不耐受情况来自每次术后化疗间隔期间的电子病历。我们使用广义估计方程（GEE）来确定预测因素，并使用cox回归分析来分析虚弱对化疗不耐受的影响：共有 259 名宫颈癌术后患者参与了这项研究，他们的平均年龄为 52.5 岁（SD = 10.3）。在 T1、T2、T3 和 T4 期，体弱组化疗不耐受的发生率分别为 51.6%、38.9%、55.6% 和 73.7%。体弱患者更容易出现化疗不耐受（OR = 1.495，95% CI：1.074-2.080，P 结论：体弱可导致化疗不耐受的风险增加：体弱会导致接受术后 ACT 的宫颈癌患者出现化疗不耐受的风险增加，而且体弱患者更有可能出现住院时间延长和意外再入院。

Purpose

The present study attempts to assess the impacts of distinct warming strategies employed to avert perioperative hypothermia on core body temperature and shivering among transurethral resection patients.

Methods

We performed a comprehensive search of Turkish and English keywords across a range of databases, including PUBMED, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, SCOPUS, Ovid, EBSCOhost, Yöktez, DergiPark, and TR Index, to identify studies on the subject published between January 1, 2001–2024. The search procedure yielded 11 studies to be recruited for meta-analysis. We analyzed the data using the trial version of Comprehensive Meta-Analysis Software (CMA). The degree of heterogeneity was quantified using Higgins I² tests, while we assessed publication bias through Kendall's Tau and Egger's regression analyses.

Results

This meta-analysis focuses exclusively on the effects of forced air warming and irrigation fluid warming, as only these methods provided sufficient data to calculate effect size. Our findings demonstrated that while forced air warming significantly affected preoperative (g = 0.279), intraoperative (15th minute, T4) (g = 0.845), postoperative (g = 0.647) body temperature and postoperative shivering (g = −2.279), irrigation fluid warming had a significant impact on postoperative body temperature (g = 1.007) and intraoperative shivering (g = 0.188).

Conclusion

Overall, our results indicated that forced air warming and irrigation fluid warming can serve as a preventive measure against hypothermia and shivering among transurethral resection patients. Given that other forms of warming could not be included in this research, further studies are recommended to explore scholarly evidence on the efficacy of these methods.

本研究试图评估为避免围手术期体温过低而采用的不同保暖策略对经尿道切除术患者核心体温和颤抖的影响。方法我们在一系列数据库（包括 PUBMED、Web of Science、Cochrane Library、SCOPUS、Ovid、EBSCOhost、Yöktez、DergiPark 和 TR Index）中对土耳其语和英语关键词进行了全面检索，以确定 2001 年 1 月 1 日至 2024 年间发表的相关研究。搜索过程中，我们收集了 11 项研究进行荟萃分析。我们使用综合荟萃分析软件（CMA）的试用版对数据进行了分析。我们使用希金斯 I2 检验量化了异质性程度，并通过 Kendall's Tau 和 Egger's 回归分析评估了发表偏倚。结果这项荟萃分析只关注强制空气加温和灌注液加温的效果，因为只有这些方法提供了足够的数据来计算效应大小。我们的研究结果表明，强制空气加温对术前（g = 0.279）、术中（第 15 分钟，T4）（g = 0.845）、术后（g = 0.647）体温和术后哆嗦（g = -2.279）有显著影响，而灌流液加温对术后体温（g = 1.结论总之，我们的研究结果表明，强制空气加温和冲洗液加温可作为经尿道切除术患者预防低体温和哆嗦的措施。鉴于本研究未能包括其他形式的保暖措施，建议进一步研究这些方法的有效性。

Purpose

Frailty is a syndrome caused by multiple factors and can lead to serious consequences for middle-aged and elderly patients with colorectal cancer. However, few studies have comprehensively explored predictors of frailty and built predictive models. Therefore, our aim is to develop and evaluate a predictive model for frailty in middle-aged and elderly patients with colorectal cancer.

Methods

From July 2023 to February 2024, a total of 502 middle-aged and elderly patients with colorectal cancer participated in this survey. Patients were randomly divided into training and validation groups in a 7:3 ratio. Univariate and multiple logistic regression analysis were employed to identify potential predictors of frailty in these patients. A nomogram was constructed based on the predictive factors, and the model underwent internal validation.

Results

In the training cohort, logistic regression revealed that self-perceived health, chronic pain, loneliness, depression, and health-promoting lifestyle were independent predictors of frailty. The Areas Under the Curve (AUC) of the training and validation groups were 0.845 and 0.851, respectively. The calibration curve of the nomogram demonstrated good consistency between predicted and actual probabilities. Decision curve analysis revealed good clinical benefit.

Conclusions

This study established a predictive model with satisfactory predictive ability, providing empirical evidence for the early detection and intervention of frailty in middle-aged and elderly patients with colorectal cancer. The nomogram model has significant potential for clinical application, as it can be integrated into routine oncology practice to identify high-risk patients early, allowing for timely and individualized interventions to improve patient outcomes.

目的：虚弱是一种由多种因素引起的综合征，会给中老年结直肠癌患者带来严重后果。然而，很少有研究全面探讨虚弱的预测因素并建立预测模型。因此，我们的目的是开发并评估中老年结直肠癌患者的虚弱预测模型：从 2023 年 7 月到 2024 年 2 月，共有 502 名中老年结直肠癌患者参与了此次调查。患者按 7:3 的比例随机分为训练组和验证组。采用单变量和多元逻辑回归分析来确定这些患者体弱的潜在预测因素。根据预测因素构建了一个提名图，并对模型进行了内部验证：结果：在训练队列中，逻辑回归显示自我感觉健康、慢性疼痛、孤独、抑郁和促进健康的生活方式是虚弱的独立预测因素。训练组和验证组的曲线下面积（AUC）分别为 0.845 和 0.851。提名图的校准曲线显示，预测概率与实际概率之间具有良好的一致性。决策曲线分析显示了良好的临床效益：本研究建立了一个预测能力令人满意的预测模型，为早期发现和干预中老年结直肠癌患者的虚弱状况提供了实证依据。该提名图模型具有很大的临床应用潜力，因为它可以融入常规肿瘤治疗实践中，及早发现高危患者，从而及时采取个性化干预措施，改善患者预后。

Purpose

People with advanced cancer face long-term physical, psychological, and existential challenges. Revie ⊕ is a life review intervention based on building the strengths and resources of these patients. A randomized clinical trial evaluated the effectiveness of the intervention on self-esteem, well-being, personal development, life satisfaction and perceived interaction with registered nurses. In addition, the research team analysed the process of implementation with registered nurses, which is the subject of the present study. The aim of our study was to describe the facilitating or limiting factors in the implementation of Revie ⊕ with registered nurses in oncology units.

Methods

This study used a multimethod cross-sectional research design and was conducted in the context of a randomized controlled trial. The selected sample included 57 registered nurses. Organizational readiness for change, satisfaction, and compassion fatigue were measured for the quantitative component, and two focus groups were conducted for the qualitative component.

Results

Organizational readiness for change reveals favourable results conducive to the implementation of Revie ⊕. The professional quality of life measures highlighted high compassion satisfaction and a low risk of burnout and exposure to secondary traumatic stress. Participants with additional postgraduate training felt more strongly that the intervention was evidence-based, considered clinical experience, and respected patient preferences. The analysis of the qualitative data allowed for the extraction of 7 themes and 21 subthemes.

Conclusions

This study highlighted facilitating and limiting factors in the implementation process of Revie ⊕, good professional quality of life of registered nurses, and supportive preparation for change.

目的：晚期癌症患者面临着长期的生理、心理和生存挑战。Revie ⊕ 是一种基于增强这些患者的力量和资源的生命回顾干预措施。一项随机临床试验评估了该干预措施在自尊、幸福感、个人发展、生活满意度以及与注册护士互动方面的效果。此外，研究小组还分析了与注册护士的实施过程，这也是本研究的主题。我们的研究旨在描述肿瘤科注册护士在实施 Revie ⊕ 过程中的促进或限制因素：本研究采用多方法横断面研究设计，在随机对照试验的背景下进行。所选样本包括 57 名注册护士。在定量研究中对组织变革准备度、满意度和同情疲劳进行了测量，在定性研究中进行了两次焦点小组讨论：结果：组织变革准备度显示了有利于实施 Revie ⊕ 的有利结果。职业生活质量测量结果显示，同情满意度高，职业倦怠和二次创伤压力风险低。接受过额外研究生培训的参与者更强烈地感受到，干预措施是以证据为基础的，考虑了临床经验，并尊重了患者的偏好。通过对定性数据的分析，得出了 7 个主题和 21 个次主题：本研究强调了在实施 Revie ⊕ 过程中的促进因素和限制因素、注册护士良好的职业生活质量以及变革的支持性准备。

Purpose

To explore study participants’ experiences with chronic hematologic malignancies and their perspectives on symptom management based on patient-reported outcomes during follow-up care.

Methods

This qualitative descriptive study used semi-structured telephone interviews conducted from May 2022 to February 2023. A purposeful sample was recruited, with participants invited consecutively. Participants were adults ≥18 years diagnosed with a chronic hematological malignancy and participating in a symptom management intervention. Reflexive thematic analysis, as described by Braun and Clarke, was used to perform an inductive analysis of the interview data.

Results

A total of 19 telephone interviews were conducted with 17 participants. Participants had nuanced perspectives on managing life with a chronic and uncommon hematological malignancy reflected in the following themes: not allowing the disease to dominate, struggling to understand and manage the disease, navigating everyday life with the disease, and evaluating impact and tailoring of patient reported outcome-based symptom management.

Conclusion

This study emphasizes the ambiguity of living with a chronic hematological malignancy. Participants strive to prevent the disease from dominating their lives, despite their struggles to understand and manage the disease. The use of patient-reported outcomes in dialogue and targeted symptom management helped participants navigate daily life challenges. These findings underscore important considerations for enhancing follow-up care for patients with chronic hematological malignancies.

Purpose

As a special psychological variable, illness perception significantly affects the cancer adaptions of colorectal cancer couples. No studies focus on facilitating cancer adaption by targeting the illness perception in colorectal cancer couples. This research attempted to explore the feasibility, acceptability, and potential effectiveness of an illness perception intervention program designed for couples with colorectal cancer, guided by a self-regulation common sense model.

Methods

A single-group pilot study including pre- and post-testing was carried out with Chinese couples having colorectal cancer. Six sessions were delivered consecutively by researchers via in-person or telephone for couples. By calculating the rates of recruitment and retention, the feasibility of the intervention was analyzed. Intervention acceptability was evaluated by analysis of the post-intervention quantitative and qualitative data. Outcomes were described as illness perception, cancer-related communication problems, dyadic coping, quality of life, anxiety and depression, and benefit finding. Effect sizes were computed to assess the preliminary program effects.

Results

The feasibility was confirmed by the recruitment (67.6%) and retention (82.6%) rates. The acceptability was endorsed by the reported participant satisfaction. Validating the program's preliminary effectiveness, the intervention program has moderate effect sizes (Cohen's d: 0.33–0.79) that boost illness perception and major cancer adjustment results for patients and their spousal caregivers.

Conclusions

The research proved that the couple-based illness perception intervention among colorectal couples was feasible, acceptable, and initially effective. To investigate this intervention program more thoroughly and apply it to a wider range of disease backgrounds, an extensive randomized controlled experiment is necessary.

目的：作为一种特殊的心理变量，疾病认知对结直肠癌夫妇的癌症适应性有很大影响。目前还没有研究关注通过针对大肠癌夫妇的疾病认知来促进癌症适应。本研究试图探讨以自我调节常识模型为指导，针对结直肠癌夫妇设计的疾病认知干预计划的可行性、可接受性和潜在有效性：方法：以中国结直肠癌患者夫妇为研究对象，开展了包括前测和后测在内的单组试点研究。研究人员通过面谈或电话对夫妇连续进行了六次培训。通过计算招募率和保留率，分析了干预的可行性。通过分析干预后的定量和定性数据，评估了干预的可接受性。结果被描述为对疾病的认知、与癌症相关的沟通问题、伴侣间的应对、生活质量、焦虑和抑郁以及受益发现。计算了效果大小，以评估初步的计划效果：招募率（67.6%）和保留率（82.6%）证实了该计划的可行性。参与者的满意度也证明了该计划的可接受性。干预计划的中等效应大小（Cohen's d：0.33-0.79）验证了该计划的初步有效性，提高了患者及其配偶照顾者的疾病感知能力和癌症适应能力：研究证明，以夫妇为基础的结直肠癌夫妇疾病认知干预是可行的、可接受的、初步有效的。为了更深入地研究这项干预计划并将其应用于更广泛的疾病背景，有必要进行广泛的随机对照实验。
