Cancer Survival Analysis

Cancer Survival Analysis

Cancer survival analysis focuses on quantifying and interpreting the time from a key starting point, such as diagnosis or the initiation of treatment, to a specific endpoint, such as remission or death. This analysis provides critical insights into treatment effectiveness and factors that influence patient outcomes, helping to shape clinical decisions and guide prognostic evaluations. A cornerstone of oncology research, survival analysis tackles the challenges of skewed, non-normally...

Nursing Ethical Principles II

Nursing Ethical Principles II

Ethical principles are essential in guiding nurses to fulfill their responsibilities, focusing on the quality of nursing care and decision-making. These principles, including autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, and fidelity, shape the ethical framework within healthcare settings.
Consider the following scenario, which illustrates how these principles are applied in the care of Mr. John, a fifty-year-old teacher diagnosed with metastatic liver cancer.
Initially, Mr. John's cancer...

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-I

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-I

An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care.
Physicians
The physician's primary responsibility is to diagnose illness and direct the medical or surgical treatment of the condition. The authority to admit patients to a healthcare agency or institution and practice care within that setting is granted to physicians by the healthcare agency or institution itself.

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-II

An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care. Here are a few more healthcare professionals.
Physical Therapist
A physical therapist (PT) aims to restore function or prevent additional impairment in a patient following an injury or disease. Massage, heat, cold, water, sonar waves, exercises, and electrical stimulation are some treatments used by PTs to treat...

Targeted Cancer Therapies

Targeted Cancer Therapies

The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.
There are several types of targeted therapies against specific...

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...

Area of Science:

Healthcare Implementation Science
Interprofessional Collaboration
Evidence-Based Practice Translation

Background:

A regional cancer network implemented a program to support evidence-informed interprofessional collaborative practices (EIPCP) in cancer teams.
This research investigates factors influencing the adoption of best practice guidelines and evidence-based recommendations.
The study addresses challenges and concerns of nurses and stakeholders in translating evidence into practice.

Purpose of the Study:

To examine the uptake of evidence-based recommendations from best practice guidelines.
To enhance interprofessional collaborative practices within cancer teams.
To understand factors influencing the translation of evidence into clinical practice.

Main Methods:

Exploratory mixed methods study design within a practical trial framework.
Quantitative data collection on professionals' knowledge, attitudes, and practice environment.
Qualitative data from semi-structured interviews with care providers (n=36) to explore evidence translation processes.

Main Results:

The study will yield knowledge on interventions and support systems for EIPCP uptake.
It will identify strategies for overcoming barriers to evidence-informed interventions.
Findings will highlight critical determinants of successful practice change, considering contextual factors.

Conclusions:

The research will enhance understanding of how to sustain new interprofessional collaborative practice patterns.
It will provide insights into "what works and why" in evidence implementation.
The study will inform strategies for integrating evidence into cancer care, considering patient needs and local context.
