This randomized controlled pilot trial, a sub-study of Onk-kong trial aimed to compare the feasibility and acceptability of CRT versus standard of care on patients with an objective cognitive impairment in association with false-positive screening results as well as breast cancer treatment. Method: Women with false-positive screening results or breast cancer completed the Headminder Web-based neuropsychological battery Cognitive Stability Index for response speed, processing speed, memory, and attention before diagnosis, 9 months after diagnosis (T1), and after another 3 months of follow-up (T2). A total of 31 women with an objective cognitive impairment at T1 were prospectively enrolled and randomized between training programs and expectancy. A modified psychological training program developed for schizophrenic patients, Cognitive Remediation Therapy was used and tested, by trained nurses. Result: In total 14 women were randomized to Cognitive Remediation Therapy and 17 to expectancy. Of the randomized women, 12 fulfilled the criteria for inclusion in this study. Of these 12 women, 6 attended and fulfilled Cognitive Remediation Therapy. Five declined participation in the program, because of not having time, one couldn’t start due to lack of available trainer. At T2 the results showed no improvement in any group. The dependence of the clinical setting caused problem. Conclusion: Our study design did not enable us to demonstrate the feasibility and acceptability of the modified CRT-program among women with a breast cancer diagnosis as well as false-positive screening results or breast cancer. The study has identified several logistical issues. Changes need to be made in the conduct of the CRT to be useful also for breast cancer patients.","PeriodicalId":356179,"journal":{"name":"COJ Nursing & Healthcare","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132271071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It consists in making more comprehensible to the patient his situation and to facilitate him to manage it with the greatest possible autonomy. Purpose: The purpose of our study was to evaluate the effect of the pre-operative nursing counselling in anxiety management, particularly among patients undergoing mutilating surgery. Methods: We selected 80 patients, 43 males and 37 females, who were scheduled for either a radical colorectal or breast cancer surgery. We used a two groups comparative design with an intervention group and a control group. STAI-Y1 test was administered to both groups. We used it to evaluate the pre- and post-operative anxiety and to evaluate the effect of the counseling intervention. Result: We calculated the preoperative and postoperative STAI-Y1 test average score for each group. There was a reduction of postoperative average score compared to preoperative one in both groups. In the intervention group, that received nursing counselling, the reduction of the postoperative average score is greater than in the control group. Conclusion: The analysis of our data shows that nursing counselling has a very important role to reduce anxiety in the surgical patient. We hope that counselling will be a teaching subject during the nursing degree curriculum. Further studies are needed to confirm our data.","PeriodicalId":356179,"journal":{"name":"COJ Nursing & Healthcare","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126610743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
