The study aimed to address the research question: how do men perceive their engagement in the self-management of non-cancer-related lymphoedema?

The study incorporated theories such as hegemonic masculinity and the health, illness, men and masculinities (HIMM) framework. The findings will be detailed in the second article in this series.

This led to the introduction of a proof-of-concept primary care specialist lymphoedema clinic. The clinic was responsible for all patients from their county. A comprehensive dataset was gathered which included the patient's history for 1 year prior to their presentation at clinic and then 6 monthly. A quality of life tool (LymQoL) and a patient satisfaction survey were completed. Completed 1-year data showed a significant reduction in GP and public health nurse visits as well as a reduction in the occurrence of cellulitis and associated hospital admissions. All areas of quality of life were improved and patient satisfaction was either excellent (89%) or very good (11%). The 1-year findings strongly support the roll-out of specialist clinics to all regional health areas.","PeriodicalId":35731,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Community Nursing","volume":"73 6","pages":"S14-S18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140792648","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}

Mr B is a 66-year-old gentleman with genital lymphoedema and lymphoedema of all four extremities. In 2023, he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and also underwent cardiac surgery. In November 2023, he completed an inpatient rehabilitation at the Földi clinic in Germany, where he received intensive treatment for his lymphoedema and was also diagnosed with bilateral AWS. The presence of AWS in a patient with primary lymphoedema and no history of axillary surgery is unique. Although AWS typically presents after axillary surgery, this case highlights that it can also occur in patients without lymph node surgery. While the precise cause of this presentation of AWS is not known, it may be connected to yellow nail syndrome or potentially the recent chemotherapy treatment. This article will describe the clinical case, highlighting the need for further research on AWS present in primary lymphoedema.","PeriodicalId":35731,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Community Nursing","volume":"131 ","pages":"S32-S35"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140790704","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}
