About 15~70% of cancer patients experience a decline in memory, face problems with attention, and complain of an inability to multitask following chemotherapy. and 17~35% of these cases persist long-term. Even if cognitive decline in cancer patients is mild, it can have a negative impact on their quality of life due to the difficulties it can cause in daily living and work. CRCI primarily presents with abnormalities in pathways connecting the frontal lobe and the subcortical regions, as well as hippocampal damage, leading to the impairment of memory and working memory (immediate memory), attention, and information processing speed. Cognitive function includes receptive functions such as selecting, acquiring, and unifying information, memory and learning, which involves storage and retrieval, mental organization of information and organized thinking, as well as expressive functions such as behavior and communication of information. In terms of anticancer agents that affect CRCI, metabolic inhibitors (e.g., 5-FU, methotrexate), alkylating agents (cyclophosphamide, carmustine), and paclitaxel are reported to be toxic to neural progenitor cells and oligodendrocytes, which form the myelin sheaths in the central nervous system. These anticancer agents are commonly prescribed to patients with stomach or colorectal cancer, which are the most prevalent cancers in Korea. The symptoms and severity of CRCI are affected by various factors, including the cumulative dose of anticancer agents, age, and nutritional status. Interest in CRCI has prompted research in diverse areas, including the treatment agents, as well as the incidence, duration, and extent of cognitive impairment. So far, basic research to manage cognitive decline in cancer patients has focused on investigating the causes of chemotherapy-related cognitive decline. Most studies that have investigated the effects of anticancer treatment itself, including drug dose (standard vs high dose) and hormone therapy, on cognitive function have dealt with breast cancer patients. Thus, further research is required to determine Changes of Cognitive Function and Fatigue following Chemotherapy in Patients with Gastrointestinal Cancer: A Prospective Controlled Study Oh, Pok-Ja ∙ Moon, Sun Mi Department of Nursing, Sahmyook University, Seoul; Surgical Department, Korea Cancer Center Hospital, Seoul, South Korea","PeriodicalId":43724,"journal":{"name":"Asian Oncology Nursing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44132471","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}

Methods: The subjects were 114 certified oncology APNs working at general hospitals in metropolitan areas. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire from August 4 to October 29, 2018. The instruments were the Role Conflict Scale, Self-Efficacy Scale, Professional Self-Concept Scale, and the Level of Job Satisfaction. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, chi-square tests, ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficients and multiple regression in SPSS version 23.0, IBM. Results: Factors that significantly affected job satisfaction were number of years since being certified as an oncology APN (β=-.20, p=.031), oncology advanced practice (β=.38, p<.001), and professional self-concept (β=.44, p<.001). The explanatory power was 39.4%. Conclusion: These results showed that factors significantly affecting job satisfaction were number of years since being certified as an oncology APN, advanced practice in oncology, and professional self-concept. Job satisfaction was found to be higher when the number of years since being certified as an oncology APN was shorter and professional self-concept was higher.","PeriodicalId":43724,"journal":{"name":"Asian Oncology Nursing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43394004","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}

Methods: Seven participants receiving hospice care were interviewed about hope experiences based on Parse’s research methodology. Results: Practical propositions derived from the structure of the hope experience were: Terminal cancer patients are beings newly recognizing the value of their lives by maintaining their hopes while they are experiencing powerlessness due to feelings of loss and distress. Ways of truly being with them are accepting their experience of distress, understanding the existence of paradoxical relationships, active symptom management, and finding hope in the current situation. Through these processes, the patients restructure their remaining lives for peaceful death by changing their perceptions about death. This structure can be interpreted as ‘the hope experience of terminal cancer patients is a process of changing the value of life, overcoming fear of death, enhancing meaning, and transcending.’ Conclusion: The concept of ‘true presence’ applied in this study was proved to be an effective nursing practice improving quality of life of the patients.

They completed the Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) and the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent ttests, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, and multiple regression with SPSS/WIN 23.0.
