まとめ
進行した癌の患者は 快適な治療を好むにもかかわらず 命を延ばす治療を受けています この不協和感は 他の重篤な病気の患者よりも がん患者の方が多く見られます
科学分野:
- 腫瘍学
- 緩和ケア
- 医療サービス研究
背景:
- 目標に一致する治療は 患者の好みに合致します
- 治療の目的と治療の意図が一致していることを理解することは,特に重症な病気では極めて重要です.
- 以前の研究では,他の重症疾患と比較して,進行したがん患者におけるこのコンコンダンスが完全に詳細に示されていない.
研究 の 目的:
- 進行がんと他の重症疾患の治療目的との患者報告の一致を比較する.
- これらの患者グループにおける,快適さに焦点を当てたケアと寿命延長療法の流行を記述する.
- 進行がん患者における治療の一致性に基づく死亡率を分析する.
主な方法:
- 事前ケア計画試験における成人の患者からのベースライン調査データの横断分析.
- 患者は,快適さに焦点を当てたケアに対して,寿命を延ばすケアを好むと報告しました.
- 進行がん患者と他の重症疾患患者の一致率の比較;一致性による死亡率分析.
主要な成果:
- 進行がん患者 (n=231) は,他の重症疾患患者 (n=868; 48%および13%) と比べて,快適性に焦点を当てた治療 (49%) と24ヶ月の死亡率 (16%) に類似した傾向を示しました.
- 快適さに焦点を当てたケアを好む患者の中で,進行したがん患者 (n=113) は,他の疾患を持つ患者よりも,不調和な寿命を延ばすケアを受けていると報告する確率が有意に高かった (n=413; 19%, p < .001).
- 快適さに焦点を当てた治療を好む進行がん患者では,不調和のとれた寿命を延ばす治療 (24%) と調和のとれた快適さに焦点を当てた治療 (15%,p = .31) を受けた患者との間で,24ヶ月の死亡率の有意な差は観察されなかった.
結論:
- 進行した癌患者の多くは 快適なケアを好むよりも 命を延ばす治療を受けていると報告しています
- この不一致は,他の重症疾患の患者と比較して,進行した癌の患者でより一般的です.
- この研究は 進行した癌の治療における 患者の目標と終末期ケアを 調和させるというギャップを 強調しています

Guidelines for Writing Outcome
3.0K
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...

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...

Treatment Resistant Cancers
3.4K
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...
