Age-related patterns in postoperative pain are unclear with reports of no age differences and less age. The objective this study was to identify correlates intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (i.v. PCA) morphine use younger older patients.24 hours after surgery, patients completed measures intensity qualities. Surgical factors, i.v. PCA intake, anticholinergic load, polypharmacy, physical status, previous chronic pain, experience were measured.Two academic general hospitals. PATIENTS....
Pain, among the most common symptoms of cancer, impacts on multiple domains wellbeing. Significant numbers patients continue to experience pain despite pharmacological interventions. Although there is evidence suggest that acceptance related better wellbeing with chronic nonmalignant pain, little known about cancer pain. The purpose this cross-sectional study was determine correlates in 81 advanced and Demographic, disease, treatment-related information collected, completed measures...
Background/Objectives: One-third of breast cancer (BC) survivors experience chronic treatment-related pain (CTP) that requires multimodal management strategies, which may include self-management behaviors (PSMBs). Most studies exploring PSMBs focus on patients with advanced cancer, who differ from in their needs and access to resources. This mixed-methods study explored BC, referral sources, goals for relief, examined the relationship between PSMB engagement intensity/interference. Methods:...
Pain and opioid management are core ambulatory palliative care skills. Existing literature on how to manage misuse/use disorder excludes patients found in settings, such as individuals with serious illness or those at the end of life.
Background and purpose: Introducing palliative care earlier in the disease trajectory has been found to provide better management of physical psychological suffering. In France, proportion cancer patients who receive is unclear. This study aimed primarily measure prevalence access inpatient associated patient-level factors, identify time between death. Patients methods: A nationwide retrospective cohort using data from French national health system database (SNDS). All those diagnosed with...
Age-related patterns in cancer pain remain equivocal. Most studies ignore heterogeneity across multiple domains of well-being, and the potential role physical (PH) mental health (MH) quality life (QOL) these age-related is unknown. We investigated relationships between age intensity, qualities, interference, psychosocial adaptation interaction PH MH QOL on to pain.In this cross-sectional study, 244 patients with advanced completed measures pain, QOL, function, well-being. Pearson's...
Recent comprehensive reviews have concluded that there is little evidence for the effectiveness of bereavement interventions. These not been limited to investigations services spouses patients with cancer. This systematic review examined from 10 articles reporting on eight studies examining outcomes interventions and adjustment following specialized end-of-life patient care Patient may positively influence spouses, but based available evidence, it difficult draw definitive conclusions about...
Purpose: Quantitative sensory testing (QST) is a standardized method to assess somatosensory function.The collection of qualitative information, during the QST procedure, could be an interesting way facilitate characterization altered perception and identification different pain phenotypes.The aims this study were 1) classify fieldnotes abnormalities collected independent study, 2) generate interview guide that included in traditional procedure as step towards implementation mixed methods...
Cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) is one of the most concerning conditions experienced by patients living with cancer and has a major impact on their quality life. Available assessment tools are too time consuming for day-to-day clinical setting assessments. Importantly, although shorter, screening such as Montreal Cognitive Assessment or Mini-Mental State Evaluation have demonstrated ceiling effect in persons cancer, thus fail to detect subtle changes expected CRCI. This study...
Abstract Prophylactic mastectomy is an effective strategy to reduce the risk of breast cancer for women carrying a BRCA1/2 germline mutation. This decision complex and may raise various concerns. Women considering this surgery have reported their desire discuss implications procedure with who undergone prophylactic mastectomy. We conducted qualitative study describe topics covered during telephone‐based peer support intervention between (recipients) had (peers), explore perspectives...
This review will aim to synthesize the available quantitative and qualitative evidence on educational needs preferences of adult patients with acute or chronic pain.Acute pain are prevalent problems associated significant individual societal consequences. Education is a critical component management. However, impact interventions outcomes remains limited. The lack patient input--what want know how they be informed--is one main issues underlying intervention design.We include qualitative,...
This article investigates the benefits of adopting qualitative and quantitative sensory testing (QQST) in assessment, with a focus on understanding neuropathic pain. The innovative QQST method combines participant experiences psychophysical measurements, offering more varied interpretation abnormalities normal function. also explores steps for optimization by identifying signs standardizing data collection. By leveraging inherent subjectivity test design responses, contributes to holistic...
