Exercise during cancer treatment improves cancer-related fatigue (CRF), but the importance of exercise intensity for CRF is unclear. We compared effects high- vs low-to-moderate-intensity with or without additional behavior change support (BCS) on in patients undergoing (neo-)adjuvant treatment. This was a multicenter, 2x2 factorial design randomized controlled trial (Clinical Trials NCT02473003) Sweden. Participants recently diagnosed breast (n = 457), prostate 97) colorectal 23) were to...
To examine health care use and costs among partners of persons with cancer.Partners patients colon, rectal, lung, breast, prostate cancer (N = 11,076) were identified via linked data from the Tumor Registry Southern Sweden Census Sweden. Health use, total care, diagnosis partner studied before after patient.Health for increased in terms in-patient diagnosis. A significant increase was seen second year colon (risk ratio [RR], 1.55; 95% CI, 1.28 to 1.87) lung (RR, 1.50; 1.26 1.79). Psychiatric...
Abstract Background To measure changes in four common chemotherapy related side-effects (low energy, stress, nausea and pain) immediately after a single exercise session within the first week treatment. Methods Thirty-eight patients with chemotherapy-treated breast cancer, participating multi-centre randomised controlled study, Physical Training Cancer study (Phys-Can) were included this sub-study. The Phys-Can intervention endurance resistance training. Before training (endurance or...
The aim of this population-based registry study was to explore how cancer influences the health partners, by examining onset new diagnoses for care use and costs among partners living with patients cancer. sample consisted (N = 10 353) age- sex-matched controls who did not have 74 592). Diagnoses, were studied a continuous period starting 1 year before date diagnosis continued 3 years. One after diagnosis, had significantly more mood disorders, reactions severe stress ischaemic heart disease...
Aims and objectives The aim of this study was to explore the associations between patients' gender, education, health status in relation assessments patient‐centred quality individuality care trust nurses for those <65 (working age) ≥65 years (older people). Background Patients' they receive are essential development provision patient services. Previous studies have revealed age is associated with their assessment attributes. Design employed a cross‐sectional, multicultural comparative...
The aim of this study was to describe hospitalised cancer patients' perceptions individualised care in four European countries and compare these using the socio-demographic characteristics Individualized Care Scale. used were: education, age, gender, type hospital admission, previous hospitalisation length stay. Scale has two parts (1) nurses' support individuality (2) receipt individuality. Data (n = 599) were collected Cyprus 150), Finland 158), Greece 150) Sweden 141). Multivariate...
Breast cancer (BC) and related treatment are associated with the risk of developing a wide range persistent disabling impairments. Despite extensive research in field an enhanced focus on BC rehabilitation, up to 34-43% these patients at chronic distress. In addition, it is known that repeatedly report unmet needs, which strongly reduced quality life. However, despite knowledge patients' needs for support during rehabilitation varies greatly, individualized often lacking. Therefore, this...
Background. The impact of cancer on spouses patients may be considerable in many aspects. Our objective was to evaluate sick leave before and after the diagnosis. Material methods. Using Swedish population-based registries, we studied with newly diagnosed colon, rectal, lung, prostate, or breast cancer. We identified via Cancer Registry obtained information their spouse through linkage population register. assessed number episodes days one year until spouses' diagnosis by cross-referencing...
Patients with brain tumors constitute a vulnerable group, and it is important that they receive the highest quality of care (QoC). The study aim was to describe perceptions QoC its association health-related life in tumor patients undergoing proton beam therapy newly established clinic. Data were collected at start treatment after 3 6 weeks. Adult (≥ 18 years old) (n = 186) completed two self-administered questionnaires: modified Quality from Patients' Perspective, which measures perceived...
Background Symptom management in conjunction with proton beam therapy (PBT) from patient's perspective has not been explored. Such knowledge is essential to optimize the care this relatively new treatment modality. Objective The aim of study was explore process symptom patients brain tumor receiving PBT. Methods Participants were 22 primary who received PBT, recruited collaboration a national center for and 2 oncology clinics at university hospitals Sweden. Interviews using open-ended...
Abstract Purpose To compare sociodemographic, health- and exercise-related characteristics of participants vs. decliners, completers drop-outs, in an exercise intervention trial during cancer treatment. Methods Patients with newly diagnosed breast, prostate, or colorectal were invited to participate a 6-month intervention. Background data for all respondents ( n = 2051) collected at baseline by questionnaire medical records. Additional using extended questionnaire, physical activity...
We aimed to investigate the effects of reallocating sedentary time an equal amount light (LPA) or moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) on cancer-related fatigue and health-related quality life (HRQoL) in patients with breast cancer. also determine daily needed be reallocated LPA MVPA produce minimal clinically important changes these outcomes.Pooled baseline data from three studies were used, including women cancer who participated Phys-Can project. Fatigue was assessed...
Clinical experiences and studies have shown that patients with tumors often experience multiple concurrent symptoms during their disease trajectories. However, the majority of symptom research focuses on single symptoms. Dodd, Miaskowski, Paul (2001) studied clusters suggested should focus evaluating associations among possible synergistic adverse effects patients' future morbidity.
Abstract Aim To illuminate the experience of an altered social context for patients with primary brain tumours living away from home while undergoing proton beam therapy. Design A descriptive, qualitative cross‐sectional interview study. Methods Nineteen were interviewed between December 2015–August 2016, either during ( N = 7) or before and after 12) their hermeneutical analysis was performed. Results Participants made adjustments to achieve control well‐being treatment period. The also...
Abstract Background The ProtonCare Study Group (PCSG) was formed with the purpose to develop and implement a framework for evaluation of proton beam therapy (PBT) related care at novel clinic (Skandionkliniken), based on patient reported data. Method A logic model used describe process development implementation structured plan PBT all diagnoses After mission project determined, meetings networks stakeholders were facilitated by PCSG identify assumptions, resources, challenges, activities,...
While moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) is associated with various health improvements shortly after completion of exercise interventions, it remains unclear which benefits can be expected when MVPA levels are maintained in the long term cancer survivors. We aimed to assess associations (1) level at 12-month follow-up and (2) long-term patterns (from immediately post-intervention follow-up) different cancer-related outcomes.In Physical training Cancer (Phys-Can) RCT,...
