Effects of Nursing Care for the Treatment of Patients with Bladder Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Abstract

Purpose. In this study, a systematic review and meta-analysis were used to examine the effectiveness of nursing care in the treatment of bladder cancer patients. The platforms of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were used to conduct a thorough literature search. Methods. The searching approach was used to find the fundamental characteristics of 5 studies. Sample size ranged from 52 to 131,852, and total sample size was 151,166. The study was looked up in PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science, with the most recent search being done in July 2022. Utilizing a standardized form, two independent reviewers gathered pertinent information from research that qualified as literature (17). Review Manager 5.3 used the data to examine the literature. Statistics were deemed significant at p < 0.05 . Results. We discovered that more bladder cancer patients with T1+T2 tumor stages were receiving nursing care than those with T1+T2 tumor stages were receiving control care (mean difference =1.27, 95% CI: 1.20-1.35, p < 0.00001 ). The proportion of bladder cancer patients with T3+T4 tumor stage in the nursing care group was lower than the proportion of patients with T3+T4 tumor stage in the control group (mean difference = 1.07; 95% CI: 1.01-1.14; p < 0.00001 ). The difference between the number of bladder cancer patients receiving radiotherapy in the nursing care group and the control group was not statistically significant (mean difference = 1.07, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.99-1.16, p = 0.11 ). There were fewer patients with bladder cancer receiving chemotherapy in the nursing care group than that in the control group (mean difference = -0.02, 95% CI: -0.0-0.02, p < 0.00001 ). The incidence rate of patients with bladder cancer with major complications in nursing care group was lower than that of patients with bladder cancer with major complications in control group (mean difference = 0.41 95% CI: 0.18-0.93, p = 0.03 ). When compared to patients with bladder cancer who had serious complications in the control group, the hospital death rate for nursing care patients had a greater incidence of bladder cancer patients (mean difference = 4.64 95% CI: 4.46-4.82, p < 0.00001 ). Conclusion. This study demonstrated that the effects of nursing care reduced the incidence rate of chemotherapy and the frequency of severe problems in bladder cancer patients.

Quality Care in Outpatient Chemotherapy. Design and Validation of the Novel Care Quality Ambulatory Instrument

“…The third dimension, entitled "Care Effects", covers the intermediate nursing outcomes perceived by the users, such as teaching, management of side effects, improvement of the disease condition, and the reduction of complications. According to Gao et al (24), care interventions can have effects on users in several components, namely: they can improve self-care skills, reduce the occurrence of complications, and contribute to the improvement of quality of life and adherence to medical treatment. The dimension "Companion Visibility" consists of items on information, comfort, respect, and the companion's involvement in the care of users.…”
