Current Trends in Nursing II

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
Cost Containment
Payment for healthcare services has historically promoted adoption of costly and often unnecessary or inefficient...

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Patient Outcomes Research

Background:

  • Macromastia significantly impacts women's self-image, self-esteem, and psychological well-being.
  • Breast reduction surgery (reduction mammaplasty) aims to improve physical and mental health.
  • Standardized criteria for distinguishing reconstructive versus cosmetic breast surgery are lacking in Croatia.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the long-term effects of reduction mammaplasty.
  • To compare different reduction mammaplasty techniques based on patient outcomes and satisfaction.
  • To identify factors influencing postoperative complications.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 59 female patients with symptomatic macromastia undergoing reduction mammaplasty (1995-2011).
  • Comparison of four techniques: inverted-T, vertical, simplified vertical, and inferior pedicle/free nipple graft.
  • Assessment of patient satisfaction, physical symptoms, and postoperative complications.

Main Results:

  • Reduction mammaplasty led to significant improvements in health status, quality of life, breast appearance, and pain reduction.
  • High patient satisfaction reported for breast size, scar appearance, cosmetic outcome, and overall care.
  • Smoking was significantly correlated with increased wound-related complications; lower parenchyma resection volume also correlated with more complications.

Conclusions:

  • Reduction mammaplasty is safe, effective, and beneficial, significantly enhancing patients' physical and psychosocial well-being.
  • Surgical technique choice should be individualized based on patient presentation and desires.
  • Further standardization of selection criteria and awareness of risk factors like smoking are crucial for optimal patient care.
