Cancer Therapies02:49

Cancer Therapies

7.5K
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...

Ethical Issues01:27

Ethical Issues

841
Nurses are essential in patient care, upholding the ethical principles of their profession and effectively navigating ethical dilemmas. Neglecting ethical issues can lead to inadequate patient care, compromised therapeutic relationships, and moral distress among healthcare workers.

Cancer Prevention

6.0K
Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Nursing Ethical Principles II01:27

Nursing Ethical Principles II

904
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...

Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions

2.0K
Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:

Cancer Survival Analysis01:21

Cancer Survival Analysis

319
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...

Summary

Faith-based organizations effectively increase cancer screening rates in diverse communities, especially among Korean Americans. Further research is needed to address cancer inequities in other populations and expand interventions to diverse faiths.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Disparities
  • Community Health Interventions

Background:

  • Faith-based organizations (FBOs) are vital partners for health promotion in underserved U.S. populations.
  • FBOs have demonstrated success in reducing risks for major diseases, including cancer.
  • A comprehensive review of FBO cancer intervention research is currently lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a scoping review of FBO-led cancer interventions in the U.S.
  • To ascertain the impact of these interventions on cancer prevention and control outcomes.
  • To identify gaps and opportunities for future FBO cancer research.

Main Methods:

  • A PRISMA Scoping Review methodology was employed.
  • Seven bibliographical databases were searched for relevant studies.
  • Quantitative outcomes from interventions conducted in U.S. places of worship were extracted.

Main Results:

  • Thirty-six studies involving Christian churches were included.
  • Breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers were the primary targets, with screening as the main outcome in 75% of studies.
  • Sixty-nine percent of studies reported significant improvements in cancer-related outcomes; 100% of studies in Korean American communities showed significant results.

Conclusions:

  • FBO interventions are effective in enhancing cancer screening across various cancer types and communities, notably in Korean Americans.
  • Further FBO interventions are recommended to address cancer inequities in underserved populations, such as lung cancer among Korean Americans.
  • Expanding FBO collaborations to include diverse faiths and cancer prevention/control efforts can unlock their full potential.
