Memory Training and Cognition in Posttreatment Patients With Cancer

Mounger, Dwyn E., Glenn, L. Lee 01 December 2011 (has links)
Excerpt: THE STUDY CONDUCTED by McDougall, Becker, Acee, Vaughan, and Delville (2011) concluded that patients with cancer receiving memory training posttreatment had an inherent benefit in performance on cognitive tests and that this finding provides an evidence-based intervention for providers to use when treating postchemotherapy patients exhibiting symptoms of cognitive deficit. However, the findings in this study do not support this conclusion for two reasons.

Livskvalitet hos patienter med cancersjukdom i palliativ vård : En beskrivande litteraturstudie

Harbi, Diana, Manninen, Moa January 2021 (has links)
Bakgrund: Syftet med palliativ vård i livets slut är att lindra symtom och främja livskvalitet. Flera studier har visat brist på kunskap, färdighet och erfarenhet hos sjuksköterskor inom vård i livets slut. Därför ville författarna sammanställa patienters upplevelser av livets slutskede, för att ge en överblick i vad sjuksköterskan kan göra för att främja dessa patienters livskvalitet. Syfte: Syftet med litteraturstudien var att beskriva hur patienter med cancersjukdom som vårdas palliativt upplever livskvalitet ilivets slut. Metod: Detta är en beskrivande litteraturstudie där elva vetenskapliga artiklar inkluderades, samtliga artiklar söktes på databasen Medline via PubMed. Därefter gjordes en tematisk analys. Resultat: Två teman identifierades med tillhörande subteman: (1) Faktorer som har en negativ inverkan på livskvaliteten och (2) Faktorersom har en positiv inverkan på livskvaliteten. Livskvaliteten påverkades av fysiska symtom och psykologiska besvär. Tidig tillämpning av palliativ vård hade en positiv inverkan på livskvaliteten och religion och tro ansågs värdefullt. Slutsats: Denna studie upplyser hur olika omkringliggande faktorer såsom fysiska, psykologiska och andliga kan påverka individens livskvalitet under det palliativa vårdskedet. Eftersom sjuksköterskor har en viktig roll i den palliativa vården bör de vara medvetna om de olika faktorerna för att kunna hantera dem själva eller med hjälp av andra yrkeskategorier inom vården för att kunna hjälpa patienten att uppnå bästa möjliga livskvalitet. / Background: The purpose of palliative care in the end of life is to relieve symptoms and promote quality of life. However, several studies have shown a lack of knowledge, skills, and experience among nurses in end-of-life care. Therefore, the authors wanted to compile patients with cancer experiences of the end of life, to give an overview of what the nurse can do to promote these patients’ quality of life. Purpose: The purpose of this literature review was to describe the experience of quality of life in patients with cancer undergoing palliative care. Method: This is a descriptive literature review of eleven scientific articles, all data were searched in the Medline database via PubMed. A thematic analysis was made. Result: Two themes were identified with associated subthemes: (1) Factors that have a negative impact on the quality of life, and (2) Factorsthat have a positive impact on the quality of life. The quality of life was affected by both physical and psychological symptoms. An early integration of palliative care had a positive impact on the quality of life, and religion and faith were considered valuable. Conclusion: This study illuminates how different surrounding factors such as physical, psychological, and spiritual factors can affect an individual's quality of life during the palliative care phase. As nurses have an important role in palliative care, they should be aware of the various factors to be able to handle them by themselves or with the help of other professional categories to help the patient achieve the best possible quality of life.
