Guidelines for Writing Outcome01:11

Guidelines for Writing Outcome

When developing expected outcomes for a patient care plan, the nurse should adhere to the following recommendations:
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care evaluation by...
Cancer Survival Analysis01:21

Cancer Survival Analysis

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 Ethical Principles II01:27

Nursing Ethical Principles II

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...
Methods of Documentation II: POMR01:26

Methods of Documentation II: POMR

The Problem-Oriented Medical Record (POMR) revolutionized medical record-keeping by introducing a systematic approach focusing on the patient's problems rather than merely listing symptoms. Dr. Lawrence Weed's introduction of this method in the 1960s marked a significant advancement in medical documentation. The POMR framework consists of four key components: the database, problem list, plan of care, and progress notes.
Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

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...
Nursing Evaluation01:15

Nursing Evaluation

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.
Section...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Patient-Reported Outcomes
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • Systematic symptom monitoring is crucial in cancer care.
  • Patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures are key tools for symptom assessment.
  • Understanding patient preferences can optimize PRO measure implementation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore patient perspectives on completing symptom assessment PRO measures.
  • To identify patient preferences for PRO measure administration and response.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire was administered to 192 cancer patients at MD Anderson Cancer Center.
  • The questionnaire assessed preferences for location, method, frequency, and response to symptom assessment PRO measures.
  • Data were analyzed to identify common patient preferences.

Main Results:

  • Patients preferred completing PRO measures in clinic waiting rooms or electronically at home.
  • Preferred completion methods varied by setting (paper/pen in clinic, electronic at home).
  • Patients favored single measures per visit/week and immediate provider contact for serious symptoms.

Conclusions:

  • Patient preferences for PRO measure completion (location, method, cadence) are diverse.
  • Incorporating these preferences is essential for effective systematic PRO symptom monitoring.
  • Tailoring PRO strategies to patient preferences can enhance engagement and data quality.
