This study reviews time-series analysis for nursing research, particularly for analyzing patient symptoms like fatigue and somnolence after cancer radiotherapy. It highlights the method

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Research
  • Biostatistics
  • Oncology Supportive Care

Background:

  • Longitudinal research is crucial in healthcare, especially in palliative and low-patient-number settings.
  • Existing literature lacks guidance on analyzing time-series data in nursing research.
  • Time-series analysis offers a method to explore data collected over time, reflecting its inherent nature.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review time-series analysis literature.
  • To describe its application in a nursing research project investigating patient symptoms post-cranial irradiation.
  • To explore the benefits and drawbacks of time-series analysis for research.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on time-series analysis.
  • Application of time-series analysis to patient data on somnolence and fatigue following cranial irradiation.

  • Exploration of data analysis techniques for longitudinal health data.

    • Main Results:

    • Symptoms following radiotherapy differed from previous literature descriptions.
    • Time-series analysis revealed cyclical patterns in patient symptoms.
    • These cyclical patterns provided valuable insights for planning supportive services.

    Conclusions:

    • Time-series analysis is a valuable tool for nursing research, especially with longitudinal data.
    • The method can uncover patterns not evident in traditional analyses.
    • It offers practical benefits for improving patient care and support services.
