Family caregivers in charge of patients with advanced cancer play an essential role. The psychosocial cost of these caregiving activities has been studied, and psychosocial interventions have been developed to improve the quality of life of family caregivers. A deeper understanding of caregivers’ burden is essential in order to enhance the benefits of these interventions. The aim of this study was to explore the socioeconomic and cultural factors responsible for shaping the complex personal experience of family caregiving and to analyse the moral dimensions of the caring experience so as to understand its effects on family caregivers more clearly. <i>Materials and Methods</i>. A qualitative study based on in-depth interviews was conducted with patients with advanced cancer (<i>n</i> = 20) and their family caregivers (<i>n</i> = 19) from 2017 to 2020. These interviews were analysed using an inductive approach and an iterative procedure. A thematic analysis was then performed using Tronto’s “ethic of care” framework in order to identify the various levels of responsibility and the relationships and effects involved. <i>Results</i>. Providing patients with advanced cancer with informal care is highly valuable work requiring various moral qualities, including attentiveness, responsibility, competence, and responsiveness. The mental load resulting from the moral aspects of care results from the cumulative effects of carers’ attentiveness and the responsibilities they have taken on. <i>Conclusion</i>. The present findings could guide healthcare professionals to develop best practice resources and guidelines in order to alleviate the hitherto underestimated effects of caring and promote a coordinated public health approach addressing the needs of caregivers. These efforts are particularly important as contemporary health policies tend to promote the shift from inpatient to outpatient treatment, which increases the importance of informal caregiving and the burden involved.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":11953,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Cancer Care","volume":"2023 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/2023/6635542","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134974987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prephase treatment (PP) is recommended in diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL) to decrease therapy-related toxicities and to avoid tumour lysis syndrome. Data in the real world are limited, and no study has evaluated the impact on overall survival. We aimed to evaluate overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and grade III-IV toxicities during the first cycle according to PP. <i>Methods and Materials</i>. All DLBCL diagnosed between 2014 and 2017 and aged between 18 and 80 years were identified by the Poitou-Charentes General Cancer Registry (France). PP was defined as any treatment prior to first-line, excluding anthracycline and/or Rituximab. We performed propensity score matching (PSM) to control characteristics at diagnosis, reduce bias, and approximate a randomized trial. <i>Results</i>. Three hundred and forty patients received first-line treatment in 17 hospital centers: 126 (37%) with prephase and 214 (63%) without prephase (NPP). After PSM, 97 patients remained in each group without significant difference in characteristics at diagnosis; matched PP patients had a 2-year OS of 71% (vs. 77%, <i>P</i> = 0.32), a 2-year PFS of 61% (vs. 74%, <i>P</i> = 0.12), and 26% grade III-IV toxicities (vs. 27%, <i>P</i> = 0.75). No tumour lysis syndrome was reported. PP nonsignificantly decreases grade III-IV toxicities for patients with high tumour load (<i>P</i> = 0.82) or elderly patients (<i>P</i> = 0.81). <i>Conclusion</i>. PP treatment does not affect survival nor does it reduce therapy-related toxicities even for patients with high tumour load or elderly patients.

A mixed method study was conducted using a cross-sectional survey involving 428 breast cancer patients, followed by a qualitative study. A total of nine in-depth interviews (IDIs) were conducted with four breast cancer patients and five key informants using two separate interview guides. In addition to descriptive statistics, logistic regression was performed to identify factors associated with the provision of psychosocial services. Thematic analysis was used for the qualitative data, using NVivo 12 plus software. Only 47 (11.1%) patients received psychosocial services in the form of counselling, emotional support, or information provision. Health professionals reportedly provided such services along with their routine activities, and patients predominantly received social/emotional support from family members, friends, and colleagues. There were no well-structured counselling services, emotional support, or group discussion sessions for breast cancer patients in these health facilities. The main reasons for not providing these services were high patient flow/workload, inadequate space, lack of training, and not having qualified professionals to organise and deliver psychosocial services in these hospitals. Only one in ten breast cancer patients received psychosocial services from health professionals, and the services were not delivered in a structured way.

The growing choice of oral anticancer medications (OAMs) delivered in pharmacies puts the patients at the center of their own therapeutic management.

A cross-sectional study was conducted with a self-questionnaire proposed to patients in hospital centers and community pharmacies. The patient’s satisfaction regarding pharmacy dispensing was assessed with a visual analogue scale. Answers to questions about the quality of information they received from health professionals were recorded. The patient’s adherence to their medication was assessed with the 8-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8).

The median score of satisfaction was 89 (interquartile range: 68, 100), and 49.5% had a satisfaction score ≥90/100.

The association between Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) and susceptibility to developing oncogenicity states remains controversial, and no consensus has yet been reached.

Patients diagnosed with PKD between 2000 and 2010 were enrolled in the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD)-derived Longitudinal Health Insurance.

To analyze the interaction of positive coping style and quality of life (QoL) between survivors of pancreatic cancer and their family caregivers based on the Conceptual Framework of Caring Experience of Cancer Family and Actor-Partner Interdependence Model (APIM). <i>Methods</i>. This study adopted a cross-sectional design that selected 200 pairs of survivors of pancreatic cancer and their family caregivers hospitalized in the First and Second Affiliated Hospitals of Nanjing Medical University from August 2020 to February 2021. Survivors of pancreatic cancer and their family caregivers completed Simple Coping Style Questionnaire and 12-item Short-Form Health Survey, whose results successfully built an APIM model. <i>Results</i>. The spousal relationship was the most common type of dyadic relationship. Family caregivers had higher levels of positive coping and QoL than cancer survivors. In terms of actor effects, the positive coping style of both survivors and caregivers significantly affected individual total scores of QoL and personal physical and psychological dimensions of QoL.
