  • Patients' perceptions of communication with the health care team during chemotherapy for the first recurrence of ovarian cancer
  • 2011
  • Ingår i: European Journal of Oncology Nursing. - : Elsevier BV. - 1462-3889 .- 1532-2122. ; 15:1, s. 53-58
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Aim: The aim of this study was to explore what women with recurrent ovarian cancer perceived as important in their communication with the health care team. Method: Interviews were conducted with 12 women at the end of chemotherapy treatment at a department of gynecological oncology in central Sweden. The interviews were subjected to qualitative content analysis. Results: The findings stress the importance for the health care team to offer each woman the opportunity for support in becoming familiar with the disease. This theme of becoming familiar with the disease is underpinned by four sub-themes: being acknowledged as a unique person, getting help to make sense of information regarding the disease and its treatment, having the opportunity to be involved and to share responsibility, and feeling confident that medical expertise was adequate. Becoming familiar with the disease was expressed as a process of understanding and assimilating the whole new situation. To achieve familiarity, the women needed help from the health care team to make sense of the information they received. They stressed the importance of being able to influence encounters with health professionals, in accordance with their own perspectives. Being acknowledged as a unique person was a prerequisite to achieve familiarity. Also important to the women was having the opportunity to share responsibility for their care and lives with someone from the health care team. Conclusion: Helping women with recurrence of ovarian cancer attain a sense of familiarity with the disease should be an important priority for health care providers. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

  • Emesis and gastrointestinal problems during radiotherapy A comparison of performance of daily activities between patients experiencing nausea and patients free from nausea
  • 2010
  • Ingår i: European Journal of Oncology Nursing. - : Elsevier BV. - 1462-3889 .- 1532-2122. ; 14:5, s. 359-66
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Purpose of the research To describe the experiences of nausea vomiting and gastrointestinal problems during radiotherapy and to compare patients experiencing nausea with patients not experiencing nausea regarding performance in daily activities sleeping and eating capacity Methods and sample A cross-sectional sample of 131 Swedish radiotherapy patients answered a questionnaire regarding the preceding week of radiotherapy Mean age was 63 years (standard deviation 12 1) and 56% were women The radiotherapy fields were breast (35%) abdomen/pelvis (15%) prostate/bladder (21%) head/neck (10%) and other (8%) Key results The patients experiencing nausea within the observed week (n = 31) had compared to the patients not experiencing nausea (n = 100) lower ability in daily activities in general (p = 0 001) in shopping (p = 0 014) walking (p = 0 007) and social interaction (p = 0 007) Of the patients with nausea 48% had seldom woken up rested and 34% were not able to eat as much as they used to Corresponding figures for nausea free patients were 27% (not significant ns) and 16% (ns) Six (5%) experienced vomiting 15 (12%) diarrhoea 23 (18%) constipation and 52 (40%) any gastrointestinal symptoms Forty seven (90%) were negatively bothered by the experienced gastrointestinal symptoms Conclusions The fourth of patients experiencing nausea during radiotherapy had lower ability to perform daily activities than the three quarters of patients who were free from nausea Few patients vomited while 40% experienced gastrointestinal symptoms during the observed week of radiotherapy This implies that health care professionals could consider identifying nauseous patients that possibly need support in nausea-reduction and in daily activities during radiotherapy (c) 2009 Published by Elsevier Ltd

  • Palliative sedation at end of life - A systematic literature review
  • 2007
  • Ingår i: European Journal of Oncology Nursing. - : Elsevier BV. - 1462-3889 .- 1532-2122. ; 11:1, s. 26-35
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Palliative sedation at the end of life to handle unmanageable symptoms has been much debated. A systematic literature review in three phases including a content analysis of 15 articles published between the years 1990 and 2005 has been conducted. The aim was to describe the phenomenon of 'palliative sedation at the end of life' from a nursing perspective. The results can be summarised in three themes: 'Important factors leading to the patient receiving sedation at the end of life', 'Attitudes to palliative sedation at the end of life' and 'Nurses' experience of palliative sedation at the end of a patient's life'. Together, the themes show that palliative sedation is a phenomenon that could be described as sedation given to fewer than 40% of dying patients during their Last 4 days of life. It is usually given because of the patient's pain, agitation and/or dyspnoea. Professionals usually have positive attitudes towards it and their view differs from that of the public's view regarding it as continuously deep sedation, whereas the public regards it as being close to euthanasia. Studies focusing on nursing care during palliative sedation are hard to find and this underlines the importance of further research in this area to elucidate the nurses' role during palliative sedation.

  • A Swedish perspective on nursing and psychosocial research in paediatric oncology : A literature review
  • 2015
  • Ingår i: European Journal of Oncology Nursing. - Amsterdam : Elsevier. - 1462-3889 .- 1532-2122. ; 19:3, s. 310-317
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Purpose: A dramatic improvement in outcomes of survival rates of childhood cancer has been seen. Caring science research is central in providing skills and knowledge to the health care sector, but few overviews of the content of published research have been carried out. The aim of this review was to investigate the content and methodology of published studies in paediatric oncology relevant to caring science, and also to compare possible differences in content and method of the published studies from the nursing and psychosocial perspectives. Method: A systematic literature review was performed of 137 published articles on paediatric oncology relevant to caring science in Sweden. Results: The results show that most of the studies were descriptive or comparative ones with a quantitative design. Most of them focused on parents (43%) or children (28%). Most of the studies investigated wellbeing (88%), using questionnaires (54%) or interviews (38%). Several different measurement instruments had been used. While the results were often clearly presented, the clinical implications were more diffuse. The most acknowledged research fund was the Swedish Childhood Foundation (75%). Conclusions: To reflect the children' perspectives in paediatric oncology require that future researchers take on the challenge of including children (even young ones) in research. The use of a limited number of agreed measurement instruments is desirable. The biggest challenge for the future is to make a shift from explorative to intervention studies. There is an urgent need to transform research results into clinical practice. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

  • Prevalence of aspects of distress, coping, support and care among adolescents and young adolescents undergoing and being off cancer treatment
  • 2007
  • Ingår i: European Journal of Oncology Nursing. - : Elsevier BV. - 1462-3889 .- 1532-2122. ; 11:5, s. 400-408
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The overall aim is to describe the prevalence of physical and psychosocial distress, coping, support and care among adolescents and young adults who are both undergoing and off cancer treatment, and who find life satisfying or less satisfying. Prevalence of distress, coping, support and care were investigated using the Life Situation Scale for Adolescents (LSS-A) answered by 15 adolescents and young adults undergoing cancer treatment and 39 adolescents and young adults off cancer treatment. More adolescents and young adults receiving treatment reported problems with fatigue, eating, hair toss, taking medications/ tablets and having to plan everything according to hospital visits than those adolescents and young adults off treatment. Fewer adolescents and young adults who reported finding Life satisfying reported problems with fatigue, eating, not having any influence on their own Life, often being sad and problems with school/work than those finding life less satisfying. Whether adolescents and young adults find life satisfying or not is not related to whether they are undergoing or off cancer treatment. The findings indicate the importance for those working with adolescent cancer victims to be alert of the fact that the treatment period is connected with more problems related to physical distress than the period after treatment, whereas aspects of psychosocial distress are as prevalent during the treatment period as they are after.

  • Dealing with a troublesome body : A qualitative interview study of men’s experiences living with prostate cancer treated with endocrine therapy
  • 2012
  • Ingår i: European Journal of Oncology Nursing. - : Elsevier BV. - 1462-3889 .- 1532-2122. ; 16:2, s. 103-108
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Purpose: Endocrine therapy for prostate cancer causes substantial side effects, and previous studies have focused on the impacts on sexuality and masculinity. Little is known about how men experience bodily alterations in everyday life through the course of the prostate cancer and treatment. The aim of this study was to show how men with prostate cancer experience bodily changes and how these alterations influence daily life. Method: The study was conducted via qualitative interviews with a phenomenological hermeneutic approach. We interviewed ten men (aged 58-83) with prostate cancer who received endocrine therapy as the primary treatment method. Results: The results showed that five themes were important for the men’s experiences of their bodily alterations throughout the course of the illness: "something is ’wrong’", "when the body becomes troublesome", "to be well or to be ill", "dealing with the alterations" and "to talk about cancer and the intimate details" Initially, the shock of receiving a cancer diagnosis and the physical changes in their bodies were at the forefront of many patients’ minds. Eventually, the impact of the side effects became more evident, which caused problems in everyday life. Yet, the men were able to reflect on the impact of treatment on their everyday lives. Conclusion: This study showed that hormone treatment has a significant influence, both directly and indirectly, on the bodies of prostate cancer patients. The experiences of men with prostate cancer may lead to feelings of loss of identity on an existential level. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

  • Dependency in elderly people newly diagnosed with cancer - A mixed-method study
  • 2012
  • Ingår i: European Journal of Oncology Nursing. - : Elsevier BV. - 1462-3889. ; 16:2, s. 137-144
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Purpose: This study, based on data from an empirical investigation, combines quantitative and qualitative approaches in a mixed-method design to explore dependency in elderly people newly diagnosed with cancer. Methods and sample: 101 elderly people newly diagnosed with cancer were included in the quantitative part, with 16 in the qualitative part. A questionnaire concerning quality of life and dependency issues was developed. For the qualitative part, open-ended interviews were conducted to get closer to the experience of dependency. Results: Combining the two methods was seen as complementary. Involvement of the patient in decision-making related to contact with the primary and secondary health-care systems is an important element in reducing the perception of dependency and maintaining the Quality of Life (QoL) of elderly cancer patients. A more precise intervention in this patient population can be achieved by assessing. Activities of Daily Living (ADL) in the elderly. Receiving assistance from children seems to increase perceived dependency and to affect QoL negatively. Conclusions: The results of this mixed-method study indicate that dependency had a negative influence on the elderly with cancer. Being dependent on others was experienced as deterioration. Fatigue represents a significant risk factor for decreased functional ability and is experienced as a reminder of being old and the situation as being out of control. Patients may benefit from health-care professionals acquiring a complete picture of dependency and cancer-related fatigue in the elderly through a systematic assessment, where for example, functional limitations related to fatigue can be determined.

  • A preliminary study into women's experiences of undergoing reconstructive surgery after breast cancer
  • 2012
  • Ingår i: European Journal of Oncology Nursing. - : Elsevier BV. - 1462-3889 .- 1532-2122. ; 16:3, s. 220-226
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women. In Sweden, about 40% of women diagnosed with breast cancer undergo a mastectomy; breast reconstruction (BR) may be an option for these women. However, the experience of undergoing reconstructive surgery appears to be only very scarcely researched, despite its importance in clinical nursing.Aim: The purpose of this study was to explore women's experiences of undergoing breast reconstructive surgery after mastectomy due to breast cancer.Methods: Six women participated in narrative interviews about their experiences of reconstructive surgery, and the interview data were analysed using thematic narrative analysis.Results: All six women were unprepared for the strenuous experience of undergoing a BR. They described the process as difficult and painful, entailing several operations and an unexpectedly long recovery period. They were also unprepared for how arduous it would be, both physically and emotionally. However, getting a BR had been important to all the women. The BR process was captured in four themes: (1) uninformed care; (2) arduous experiences; (3) body alterations; and (4) moving on.Conclusions: Obtaining adequate information and being involved in the decision-making process along the pathway of a BR could help the women to prepare physically and emotionally for the strenuous experiences related to reconstructive surgery.

  • Aspects of body image after mastectomy due to breast cancer : a two-year follow up study
  • 2013
  • Ingår i: European Journal of Oncology Nursing. - : Elsevier. - 1462-3889 .- 1532-2122. ; 17:3, s. 340-345
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Purpose: This 2-year follow-up study explores aspects of body image after mastectomy due to breast cancer.Materials and Methods: This population-based study included 76 women living in northern Sweden who, during November 2006 to October 2007, underwent mastectomy due to breast cancer. The women completed a questionnaire entitled “Life After Mastectomy (LAM)” 10 months after the mastectomy and again 2 years later. We used SPSS version 18.0 for data processing and analysis.Results:The findings indicate that few significant changes in body image had taken place during the 2-year interval between the first and second completion of the questionnaire. An exception was a significant decrease in feelings of sexual attractiveness and comfort during sexual intimacy. At follow-up, 21% of the women had undergone breast reconstruction (BR). They were significantly younger than the women who had not had BR (53 v. 63 years). Besides being younger, no other significant differences could be found between those women who had undergone BR and those who had not. The fact that the decrease in sexual attractiveness and feelings of comfort during sexual intimacy also applied to the subgroup of women who had had BR may therefore be surprising. A better understanding of issues related to breast cancer treatment and sexual function is vital.Conclusion: It is important for health care professionals to be aware of problems related to sexual intimacy and to be prepared not just to provide information about these, but also to reflect on expectations v. reality together with the women.
