Investigation of the reasons and frequency of oncology patients over the age of 65 who apply to the emergency department.
Purpose: This study aims to investigate frequency and causes of emergency department visits among oncology patients aged 65 and older.
Method: In this cross-sectional, descriptive and comparative study, data were collected a questionnaire form from a single emergency deparment of a university hospital in İzmir, West Turkey between January 2022 and July 2022. Data were analyzed by using IBM SPSS Statistics 25 software.
Results: A total 125 patients were included in the study. The most common causes of patients to the emergency derparment were infection, pain, nausea-vomiting, and dyspnea. A significant difference was found between the reason for the patient's emergency department visit and their knowledge of when to seek medical help (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: The recurrent visits of cancer patients to emergency departments suggest an inadequacy of comprehensive information available to both patients and their caregivers concerning the pursuit of emergency medical intervention.
