Abstract

Cancer-related fatigue has been shown to be a significant side effect that influences a person’s wellbeing, during treatment, and after treatment. It is recorded that cancer patients have also been shown experiencing spiritual distress. The study aims to determine the connection between spiritual well-being and cancer-related fatigue among patients suffering from breast cancer during chemotherapy treatment. 112 patients who were undergoing chemotherapy treatment were recruited in this study using a correlational design. The instruments used in assessing spiritual well-being and fatigue are Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy - Spirituality (FACIT-Sp) and FACIT-Fatigue Scales. Data were analyzed using the Spearman Correlation analysis. Mean spiritual well-being score was 35.91 (SD = 6.89), and the mean fatigue score was 33.04 (SD = 9.58). There were a moderate and significant correlation between fatigue scores and spiritual well-being (r = .364, p < 0.001). Breast cancer patients who had higher spiritual well-being that means they would alleviate fatigue symptoms. Therefore, nurses should consider that increasing spiritual well-being would reduce fatigue and vice versa.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus is one of the chronic diseases that cause  the highest mortality and high medical costs;, therefore medication adherence and glycemic control are important  in disease management, one of which is through telenursing. Purpose: To determine the telenursing model to improve medication adherence and glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: This study was designed a scoping review. The databases used are CINAHL, PubMed, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar. Articles published from 2016-2022 with appropriate inclusion and exclusion criteria. Thematic analysis was used based on study design, telenursing communication model, telenursing process, duration of telenursing and results. Results: There were 12 relevant articles out of 2112 articles. We found a telephone call follow up is the most common method used for delivery of telenursing intervention. Telenursing intervention is implemented from at least 3 months until 12 months, and includes the assessment of current disease conditions, assessment of adherence to the prescribed treatment plan, treatment plan information, and solutions or follow-up to current issue. Conclusion: Telenursing can be used as a nursing care delivery model  in the diabetes mellitus type 2 patients because it is proven to reduce glycemic control, improve treatment adherence, reduce body mass index (BMI), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and cholesterol, and improve diet adherence, physical exercise and self-management.
