Purpose/Objectives: To distinguish relationships among subjective and objective characteristics of sleep, mood, quality life (QOL) in patients receiving treatment for lung cancer.

Recurrent breast cancer survivors often experience diverse symptom clusters (SCs) that impact their quality of life (QOL). Identifying these SCs is essential for developing targeted interventions to improve management and care. This study aimed identify compare in recurrent with local-regional distant recurrence. In this cross-sectional study, adult women diagnosed within the past 10 years completed National Comprehensive Cancer Network-Breast Symptom Index Questionnaire-16. Latent profile...

Taxane-induced peripheral neuropathy (TIPN) is caused by the neurotoxicity of paclitaxel and docetaxel, but differences between paclitaxel- docetaxel-induced are understudied.The purpose this study to compare TIPN docetaxel in patients with breast cancer examine consistency measuring researchers patients.Secondary data were analyzed from a cross-sectional that included 64 two teaching hospitals Taiwan. Objective subjective measured.Results indicated significant objective TIPN, sensory sum...

Head-and-neck cancer (HNC) and its treatment impact patients' quality of life (QoL) survival. The symptom burden HNC survivors severely affects QoL, while hope serves as an impetus for adjustment that enables to sustain basic QoL. This study investigated the change burden, predictors QoL in from diagnosis 3 months after concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) completing.This was a prospective, correlational conducted between January 2016 April 2017 at medical center northern Taiwan. Purposive...

Guided the classic model insomnia Spielman, describes anxiety as predisposing factor, smoking precipitating factors, perpetuating factors that maintain exacerbate Nurses across all specialty areas should...

Objectives: To evaluate the feasibility of implementation an extremity exercise program and to examine its preliminary effects in breast cancer survivors suffering from chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). Sample & Setting: Thirteen one hospital northern Taiwan. Methods Variables: A single group with repeated measures, a quasi-experimental design. The intervention was four week, home-based that comprised 10 skilled hand exercises Buerger-Allen exercises. Total Neuropathy...

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy limits cancer survivors' compliance with chemotherapy and impaired function. This study aimed to examine separate impacts of clinician-assessed, patient-reported sensory motor chemotherapy-induced on physical/role function functional interference in advanced colorectal survivors receiving chemotherapy.A cross-sectional, correlational design utilizing convenience sampling enrolled 75 stage III or IV adults undergoing chemotherapy. Participants filled...

Intraocular ciliary schwannoma is extremely rare and accurate diagnosis prior to surgery difficult. In this article, we demonstrate a precise pre-operative of nerve by meticulous neurological evaluation, combined with high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging three-dimensional reconstruction the lesion adjacent structures. The tumor was identified be arising from during operation fully excised. After 9 months observation, function third recovered except for branch. conclusion, through...

<title>Abstract</title> Purpose: Mammography is broadly used in early detection of breast cancer. However, women undergoing mammography had experienced physical, psychological, and social disturbance; this could affect their Quality Life (QoL). Only few studies QoL have been done on cancer screening populations. The purpose study was to explore factors associated with among mammography. Methods: This research a cross-sectional questionnaire survey conducted 158 who were Data collected from...

This study aimed to explore the subgroups of symptom severity and impact their trajectories on quality life in lymphoma survivors.Secondary data were analysed from a prospective with four-time measures: before treatment (T1), during (T2), completion (T3) 10 weeks after (T4). Data using descriptive statistics, group-based trajectory model generalised estimation equation.Fifty nine 61 participants completed three-time measure (mean age = 60.43 years, male-predominant).
