Abstract

Uncontrolled proliferation of cancer cells is the underlying cause of cancer in patients. This community service aimed to enhance cancer patients' knowledge and understanding of pain management using an autogenic relaxation technique incorporating specific movements and guided suggestions. The method involved demonstrations and health education sessions. This activity was attended by 30 cancer patients aged >18 years undergoing radiotherapy or chemotherapy. The study results indicated a 37.3% improvement in the participants' knowledge and understanding of the provided pain management education, increasing from 50% to 87.3%. The application of autogenic relaxation techniques effectively reduced pain intensity, and patients demonstrated increased independence in performing these techniques. Consequently, the quality of life for cancer patients undergoing treatment can be optimized.

Abstract

Thyroid cancer treatment can cause side effects that have a significant impact on the patient's quality of life and health, so effective interventions are needed to address these impacts. This study aimed to explore various interventions, their impact on the quality of life of thyroid cancer patients. This study used a scoping review approach with PRISMA-ScR for article selection. Articles were obtained from Scopus, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and ProQuest databases published between 2016 and 2024 using keywords related to thyroid cancer, quality of life, intervention and therapy. Of the initial 2043 articles, 9 articles met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The extracted data was analyzed using qualitative methods with identified were author, year of publication, research design, country, type of intervention, duration of intervention, research results, and JBI. The results of the analysis revealed three types of interventions in improving the quality of life of patients with thyroid cancer: (1) Psychological with mindfulness therapy, memory therapy, psychological nursing intervention, behavioral intervention, and technology-based therapy (mHealth); and (2) Physical with Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR), and home-based physical exercise (aerobics, resistance, flexibility). These findings underscore the benefits of interventions to improve the quality of life of thyroid cancer patients which include physical, psychological, and technology-based approaches.

Abstract

Individuals undergoing ostomy surgery frequently encounter various physical, emotional, and social challenges that may adversely affect their quality of life. Continuous Nursing Care (CNC) has been recognized for its potential in strengthening self-care skills and decreasing the incidence of postoperative complications. This review seeks to evaluate the influence of CNC on enhancing life quality and addressing complications among individuals with an ostomy. Objective to determine the effectiveness of Continuous Nursing Care (CNC) in improving quality of life and managing complications among patients undergoing ostomy surgery. This systematic review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. A comprehensive literature search was performed for studies published between 2019 and 2023, utilizing Boolean operators and MeSH terms: ("nursing" OR "nurse" OR "care") AND ("ostomy" OR "stoma") AND ("continuous") AND ("management") AND ("quality of life") AND "complication", across five electronic databases: Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and ProQuest. The initial search yielded 968 articles. After removing 28 duplicates, 940 articles remained for title and abstract screening. A total of 151 full-text articles were assessed for eligibility, and 13 studies met the inclusion criteria for the final synthesis. The included studies comprised randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-experimental designs evaluating Continuous Nursing Care (CNC) interventions among ostomy patients, with outcome measures including quality of life, self-care ability, psychological well-being, and complication management. Methodological quality was appraised using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal tools for both RCTs and quasi-experimental studies. Only studies scoring above 65% were included in the final analysis. Thirteen studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. CNC interventions including structured education, telehealth services, home-based care, and psychosocial support were shown to enhance quality of life, improve self-care abilities, and reduce complications after surgery. Furthermore, CNC demonstrated effectiveness in decreasing peristomal infections, psychological distress (e.g., anxiety and depression), and in promoting self-efficacy and emotional adjustment in ostomy patients. Continuous Nursing Care (CNC) has been identified as a promising strategy to enhance quality of life, psychological health, and self-care capacity, while also reducing the risk of complications in individuals with an ostomy. Nonetheless, the variability in intervention models highlights the necessity for additional research utilizing theory-based frameworks, larger sample sizes, and meta-analytic methods to determine the most effective care approaches.
