- Follow-up visits after surgery for breast cancer constitute a large proportion of the outpatient consultations at surgical and oncological clinics. The reasons for the follow-ups include early detection of relapse, patients' well-being, and data collection for quality assurance and scientific studies. The aim of this study was to describe the needs of the patient with breast cancer and satisfaction with routine follow-up visits to the physician. A strategic sample of 20 women with breast cancer, routinely followed-up at an oncology outpatient clinic, was interviewed. A qualitative descriptive design inspired by the phenomenographic method was used. The results identified the need for routines, accessibility, security, continuity, confidence and information. The women's views demonstrated that there are strong reasons for reviewing and changing the design of the traditional follow-up system to obtain the most effective and well-functioning system possible to better meet these women's needs.

Patient and staff perceptions of cancer patients' psychological concerns and needs
- 2000

- This paper reviews patient and staff perceptions of cancer patients' psychological concerns and needs. An extensive literature search resulted in a total of 22 studies. Six of these concern staff ratings of hypothetical 'average' patients, and the main findings are that staff and patients are in relative agreement about the overall spectrum of concerns relevant to cancer patients, but less so regarding which concerns are of most importance to patients. Sixteen studies compare patient ratings with staff ratings of individual patients. The overall pattern of results indicates that staff tend to overestimate patient anxiety and emotional distress and show limited ability adequately to assess patient distress in terms of rank. Staff were able correctly to detect a majority of anxiety 'cases', while the identification of depression was less accurate. High detection rates for anxiety were obtained partly at the expense of staff also presuming anxiety in many non-distressed patients. Generally, there was better patient-staff agreement on the absence than the presence of patient anxiety and depression. Many studies were found to have serious methodological deficiencies and there is no clear evidence that patient-staff agreement is markedly better in studies fulfilling important methodological criteria. Several explanations of patient-staff discrepancies are discussed. Future research should be aimed at critically testing possible reasons for patient-staff disagreement and at investigating the consequences of such discrepancies.

Health-Related Quality of Life, Anxiety and Depression in Patients with Midgut Carcinoid Tumours
- 2001
-
Ingår i: Acta Oncologica. - 0284-186X .- 1651-226X. ; 40:7, s. 825-831

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In earlier studies it has been reported that patients with carcinoid tumours have a relatively good health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and low levels of anxiety and depression. The aims of this study were (a) to investigate the extent to which psychosocial function changes in patients with carcinoid tumours with time from diagnosis and its possible relation to tumour markers, and (b) to compare the HRQoL of patients with carcinoid tumours with that of healthy Swedish adults. Twenty-four patients reported on HRQoL (the EORTC QLQ-C30), anxiety and depression (the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale) five times during their first year of treatment. After one year, improvement in nausea/vomiting, flush and anxiety was reported, but there was deterioration of physical function, an increase in muscular pain and problems with dry skin. Levels of tumour markers were not associated with psychosocial function. Patients reported a lower HRQoL compared with healthy Swedish adults. Thus, deterioration of physical function was not accompanied by a deterioration of emotional function, and levels of tumour markers were not related to patients' HRQoL.
