“…Each stage of treatment has its peculiarities and adverse reactions that can increase the level of stress of the woman, which may influence her QOL. 3,4 Quality of Life was defined by the World Health Organization as "the individual´s perception of their position in life, in the context of culture, expectations, standards and concerns" that is QOL can only be evaluated by the person. 5 Although it is a terminology widely used in daily life, there is a difficulty in obtaining a consensus about its concept, since it is linked to the fact that it is subjective and difficult to conceptualize.…”

“…Both fatigue and prostration were classified as Probable. These two symptoms were described previously by Machado and Sawada (2008) as symptoms with increasing rates in the adjuvant treatment of breast cancer and bowel after three months of treatment. This adverse reaction, although treatable, is often overlooked in cancer treatment and can sometimes be confused with the evolution of the illness (Mota, Pimenta, 2002;Menezes, Camargo, 2006).…”

The rates of breast cancer mortality remain high in Brazil. Docetaxel is a semi-synthetic taxane used to treat various tumors, particularly tumors of the breast, lung and prostate. In this study ADR that occurred in 45 docetaxel users with breast cancer were surveyed. They were identified by type, causality (Naranjo algorithm and World Health Organization categories) and, if considered probable or defined, rated for severity according to SOBRAFO proposal (2007). A total of 325 ADR were observed: 165 in the first, 137 in the second and 23 in the third cycle. Fifty seven ADR were immediate and the others, late. Fatigue and exhaustion for more than five days, classified as Grade 3 by SOBRAFO (2007), were reported as the primary late RAM. There was no significant difference in the occurrence of immediate and late ADR between cycles (p=1 and p=0.3577, respectively). The presence of a pharmacist gave the patients a better understanding of the occurrence of RAM, especially those that occur outside the hospital, between chemotherapy cycles and are often not reported to the healthcare team, creating institutional demands and reaching the goal to track, observe and correlate the RAM for each user.Uniterms: Docetaxel/adverse reactions.

O docetaxel é um taxano semi-sintético usado para tratar vários tumores, particularmente tumores da mama, pulmão e próstata. Neste estudo, as Reações Adversas (RAM) ocorridas em 45 pacientes com câncer de mama foram monitoradas. Elas foram classificadas pelo tipo e causalidade (Algoritmo de Naranjo e categorias propostas pela Organização Mundial da Saúde) e, se consideradas prováveis ou definidas, foram classificadas também pela severidade, de acordo com a proposta da SOBRAFO (2007). Um total de 325 RAM foram observadas: 165 no primeiro, 137 no segundo e 23 no terceiro ciclo. Cinquenta e sete RAM foram imediatas e as demais tardias. Fadiga e exaustão por mais de 5 dias, classificadas como grau 3 pela SOBRAFO (2007), foram as principais RAM encontradas. Não houve diferença significativa na ocorrência de RAM imediatas ou tardias entre os ciclos (p=1 e p=0,3577, respectivamente). A presença de um farmacêutico proporcionou aos pacientes um melhor entendimento sobre a ocorrência de RAM, especialmente sobre aquelas que ocorrem fora do ambiente hospitalar, entre os ciclos da terapia, não sendo usualmente relatadas aos profissionais de saúde. Isto gerou uma demanda na instituição e permitiu alcançar a meta de acompanhar, observar e correlacionar as RAM de cada paciente.Unitermos: Docetaxel/reações adversas. Medicamentos/reações adversas.

“…(9,13) Our finding related with patients' age corroborates with other studies that reported patients mean age of 55 years. (12,14) This mean age also show that more non-elderly patients are requiring chemotherapy treatments. We believe that cancer is becoming a chronic disease affecting several age ranges in similar manners.…”

Objective: To identify medication related incidents in outpatient chemotherapy unit of a teaching hospital. Methods: This cross-sectional and descriptive study included medical records of patients who were assisted from June to August 2016 in an outpatient chemotherapy unit from a public hospital in South Brazil. Data were collected using an instrument divided into four sections: section A -questions related with characterization of patient, section B -questions related with medical prescription, section C -questions related with medication dispensing, and section D -questions related with medication administration. Results: A total of 5,012 incidents occurred related with medical prescription, 21 associated with dispensing and 27 medication administration, therefore, totalizing 5061 incidents with and without harms to patients. Conclusion: Of 5,061 incidents that occurred, the mean incident per health care procedures was 3.6. Incidents were really present in hospital/outpatient unit environment and they mean per health care procedures was relatively high. Our findings can provide information for health professionals about reality of institutions in terms of incidents that can occur in health practice. ResumoObjetivo: Identificar os incidentes relacionados a medicamentos em um ambulatório de quimioterapia de um hospital universitário. Métodos: Estudo transversal, descritivo, com fichas de acompanhamento dos pacientes atendidos no ambulatório de quimioterapia de um hospital público do Sul do Brasil, no período de junho a agosto de 2016. Para a coleta dos dados, foi utilizado um instrumento de pesquisa dividido em quatro blocos: bloco A -questões relacionadas à caracterização do paciente; bloco B -questões relacionadas à prescrição médica; bloco C -questão relacionada à dispensação dos medicamentos; e o bloco D -questões relacionadas à administração de medicamentos. Resultados: Ocorreram 5012 incidentes de prescrição médica, 21 de dispensação e 27 de administração de medicamentos, totalizando 5061 incidentes com e sem danos. Conclusão: Observou-se que o número total de incidentes foi de 5061, sendo a média de incidentes por atendimento de 3,6. Esse resultado evidenciou que os incidentes, realmente, estavam presentes no ambiente ambulatorial/hospitalar e que sua média por atendimento foi relativamente elevada. Os achados do estudo poderão informar aos profissionais sobre a realidade da instituição frente aos incidentes que ocorrem na prática em saúde.
