Nursing Ethical Principles II01:27

Nursing Ethical Principles II

1.0K
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 Therapies02:49

Cancer Therapies

7.7K
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...

Cancer Survival Analysis01:21

Cancer Survival Analysis

381
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...

Treatment Resistant Cancers02:56

Treatment Resistant Cancers

3.3K
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...

Cancer

48.7K
Cancers arise due to mutations in genes involved in the regulation of cell division, which leads to unrestricted cell proliferation. Modern science and medicine have made great strides in the understanding and treatment of cancer, including eradicating cancer in some patients. However, there is still no cure for cancer. This is largely due to the fact that cancer is a large group of many diseases.

Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

2.1K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Social Work
  • Healthcare Equity
  • Anti-Racism in Medicine

Background:

  • Increased violence against minority groups and higher COVID-19 mortality rates among BIPOC and AAPI populations prompted a national response from social work professionals.
  • A comprehensive cancer center's Social Work Department initiated efforts to develop and implement antiracist practices within their institution.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the process of creating educational initiatives for oncology social workers focused on identifying and dismantling bias and racism.
  • To foster intentional antiracist practice and enhance advocacy for BIPOC and AAPI patients and colleagues within the healthcare system.

Main Methods:

  • Established an antiracism committee and developed community guidelines for discussing race.
  • Implemented a social location exercise to challenge white supremacy and created a multimedia forum to explore racial dynamics.
  • Formulated a new departmental policy affirming a commitment to antiracist social work and initiated a monthly Antiracist Clinical Case Conference.

Main Results:

  • Educational opportunities were created to help oncology social workers recognize personal and systemic biases.
  • New policies and practices were implemented, including community guidelines and case conferences, to promote antiracist social work.
  • A multimedia forum and case conferences were utilized to explore racial dynamics and highlight BIPOC and AAPI experiences.

Conclusions:

  • The described strategies provide a framework for developing ongoing antiracist social work practice.
  • Recommendations are offered for implementing and sustaining antiracist initiatives in diverse healthcare settings.
  • The initiative aimed to embed antiracist principles into the core practice of oncology social work.
