患者は緩和ケア(PC)を終末期治療と誤解していることが多いが、多くの外科患者はPCについて話し合うことに前向きである。
科学分野:
- 緩和ケア
- 腫瘍外科
- 老年医学
背景:
- 緩和ケア(PC)の外科領域への統合は、専門家の推奨にもかかわらず、十分に活用されていない。
- 患者の視点を理解することは、外科におけるPC統合を改善するために不可欠である。
研究 の 目的:
- 手術診療における緩和ケア統合に影響を与える患者の認識と状況的要因を調査する。
- 重篤な疾患を持つ高齢者が手術治療中に緩和ケアをどのように見なし、関与しているかを調査する。
主な方法:
- 手術を受けた重篤な疾患を持つ高齢者に対する民族誌的観察(207件)および半構造化面接(19件)を実施した。
- 緩和ケアに関連する患者の認識、認識、行動に焦点を当てた。
主要な成果:
- 患者は緩和ケアをホスピスまたは終末期ケアと同一視することが多く、手術からの回復と相反するものと考えていた。
- 誤解にもかかわらず、患者は手術相談中に緩和ケア領域(例:心理社会的負担)に合致する懸念を表明した。
- 緩和ケア統合に対する患者の受容性は様々であり、包括的な統合を望む者もいれば、外科医には技術的側面のみに集中してほしいと考える者もいた。
結論:
- 緩和ケアに対する患者の理解は終末期ケアに限定されており、外科的経路への統合の障壁となっている。
- 外科医とのより広範な緩和ケアの問題についての話し合いに対する患者の意欲は、技術的な外科的ケアを超えた統合強化の可能性を示唆している。
