Patient navigators serve as intermediaries between individuals and the healthcare team, assisting patients in addressing and overcoming obstacles that may hinder access to medical services. They offer personalized support throughout the continuum of care, guiding patients through the various stages of their treatment journey. Purpose: To determine the effect of navigators on cancer patient satisfaction. Method: A systematic review approach in line with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The author used several research article databases, namely PubMed, ProQuest, Science Direct and Sage. 3 articles met the criteria and were analyzed and criticized using the JBI instrument. Results: Patient navigator is an effective strategy to improve diagnosis time, reduce anxiety, and increase patient satisfaction. Conclusion: The role of patient navigator in the context of cancer care can increase patient satisfaction and self-efficacy.

Abstract

Leukemia is the most common type of cancer in children and adolescents. The most common types of leukemia in children are acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). During and after AML therapy, patients become highly dependent on caregivers. This can increase the burden, poor quality of life, and lead to burnout in caregivers. Various interventions have been developed to reduce the burden on caregivers and improve their quality of life. One of which is psychoeducational intervention. Psychoeducational intervention in the form of 1-hour-counseling was carried out to Mrs. M (49 years old), mother of A with AML diagnosis. Prior to counseling, caregivers' burden was measured using the Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI), a caregiver self-report measure with 22 items questionnaire. Within 1 week, monitoring was carried out per telephone for 2 times. On day 7, an evaluation of the caregiver's burden was done. The measurement results showed that there was a decrease in the ZBI score before and after the intervention.
