Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

117
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Chronic Kidney Disease III: Interprofessional Care

206
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires collaborative and comprehensive management. CKD progresses through stages and can lead to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) if untreated. Interprofessional collaboration and patient education are crucial, enabling patients to manage their health and improve their quality of life.Diagnostic approach for chronic kidney diseaseThe diagnosis of CKD primarily focuses on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which assesses kidney function by measuring how well...

Cancer Therapies

9.1K
Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

Patient-centered Care

2.7K
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Treatment Resistant Cancers02:56

Treatment Resistant Cancers

3.5K
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. A cancer cell is genetically unstable and hence can mutate faster. They can also modify their microenvironment and escape immune surveillance. The difficulties in treating cancer are further compounded by the emergence of rapid resistance to anticancer drugs. The most common ways to attain resistance in cancer cells include alteration in drug transport and metabolism, modification of drug target, elevated DNA damage response, or...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Psychosocial Support
  • Digital Health Interventions

Background:

  • Distance caregivers (DCGs) experience higher distress and anxiety compared to local caregivers.
  • Approximately 20% of caregivers live over an hour away, posing unique challenges in cancer care.
  • There is a need for effective interventions to support DCGs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a multifaceted intervention designed to decrease anxiety and distress in DCGs of cancer patients.
  • To compare the impact of different intervention components on caregiver well-being.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized controlled trial involving 302 DCGs of patients with various cancer types.
  • Intervention arms included videoconference coaching, virtual participation in oncology appointments, and access to a DCG website.
  • Intervention was delivered over a 4-month period.

Main Results:

  • Significant interactions for anxiety (P = .028) and distress (P = .014) by study group were observed.
  • The group receiving coaching and videoconference participation showed the highest improvement rates: 18.6% for anxiety and 25.2% for distress.
  • Arm 1, which included coaching and virtual appointment participation, demonstrated the most significant benefits.

Conclusions:

  • Coaching combined with videoconference technology to include DCGs in patient-oncologist visits effectively reduces caregiver anxiety and distress.
  • These findings suggest potential applications for both distance and local caregivers, especially in situations limiting in-person attendance.
  • The study highlights the value of integrating technology to support remote cancer caregivers.
