Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis01:24

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis

1.9K
The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.
It is critical to determine the patient's learning needs during the assessment. Determination of learning needs compounds data...

Techniques of therapeutic communication I: Active Listening, Sharing Observations, Validation, and Using Touch

6.0K
The history of therapeutic communication can be traced back to Florence Nightingale, who emphasized the importance of developing trusting relationships with patients. She taught that the presence of nurses with patients results in therapeutic healing.
Therapeutic communication is not the same as social interaction. Social interaction has no goal or purpose and consists of casual information sharing, whereas therapeutic communication has a plan or purpose for the conversation. Therapeutic...

Cancer Survival Analysis01:21

Cancer Survival Analysis

478
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 Implementation

5.5K
Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

Nursing Interventions I: Taxonomy of Nursing Interventions01:03

Nursing Interventions I: Taxonomy of Nursing Interventions

3.1K
Nursing interventions are chosen as part of the planning process to achieve patient outcomes. Once nursing diagnoses are determined, the goals and outcomes are specified, then the nursing interventions are selected and individualized according to the patient's situation.
A nursing intervention is a treatment or action based on scientific concepts and knowledge from the nursing, behavioral, and physical sciences. Identifying and prioritizing nursing interventions based on the desired outcome...

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine02:50

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

5.2K
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:

  • Oncology
  • Health Informatics
  • Caregiver Support

Background:

  • Informal caregivers for cancer patients face significant physical and psychological challenges.
  • Technology-based interventions show promise in alleviating caregiver burdens but lack a clear definition.
  • Conceptual clarity is crucial for the effective development and implementation of these interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define "technology-based interventions" specifically within the context of cancer caregiving.
  • To establish a clear, actionable definition for researchers, clinicians, and caregivers.
  • To support evidence-based research and practice in oncology caregiver support.

Main Methods:

  • Employed the 8-step concept analysis method by Walker and Avant.
  • Conducted a comprehensive literature search across PubMed, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and Scopus.
  • Analyzed studies focusing on technology-based interventions for cancer caregivers.

Main Results:

  • Identified key attributes: accessibility, affordability, convenience, and user-friendliness.
  • Defined technology-based interventions as the use of technology to deliver health promotion content and strategies.
  • Aimed to induce positive physical or psychological health outcomes in cancer caregivers.

Conclusions:

  • Provided a clear, operational definition of technology-based interventions for cancer caregiving.
  • This conceptual clarity enhances intervention design and research rigor.
  • Facilitates cost-effective support for cancer caregivers' needs and preferences.
