Background Immunotherapy has changed the outlook for cancer treatment. A closer look at the accompanying symptoms from the patient’s perspective is necessary to improve their tolerance to treatment and is the basis for standardized symptom management. Objective To describe the symptomatic experience of skin toxicity in cancer patients undergoing immunotherapy. Design: Qualitative interviews on symptom experiences were conducted from the perspective of cancer patients receiving immunotherapy. Methods A purposive sample of 18 patients with immune-related cutaneous adverse events participated in this semi-structured interview. Transcripts were entered into NVivo 11.0. Qualitative thematic analysis was used to analyze the data for significant statements and phrases, which were organized into themes and subthemes. Results Three main themes were identified in the data: (I) management of skin toxicity in patients; (II) patients’ experience of skin toxicity; and (III) problems that skin toxicity poses for patients and the support they would like to receive. Conclusions The result enables nurses to better understand and empathize with the patient’s experience, to truly practice the essence of patient-centered care, and provide a basis for the development of standardized symptom management programs in the future.

“…A total score ≥ 7 points indicated a sleep disorder. Sleep quality worsened as the score increased and vice versa; (3) The self-rating idea of suicide scale (SSIOS)[ 10 ] was employed to assess suicidal thoughts in both study groups prior to and following the intervention. There were 26 items, including four dimensions: optimism, sleep, despair, and cover-up.…”

BACKGROUND Depression is a common and serious psychological condition, which seriously affects individual well-being and functional ability. Traditional treatment methods include drug therapy and psychological counseling; however, these methods have different degrees of side effects and limitations. In recent years, nonconvulsive electrotherapy (NET) has attracted increasing attention as a noninvasive treatment method. However, the clinical efficacy and potential mechanism of NET on depression are still unclear. We hypothesized that NET has a positive clinical effect in the treatment of depression, and may have a regulatory effect on serum inflammatory factors during treatment. AIM To assess the effects of NET on depression and analyze changes in serum inflammatory factors. METHODS This retrospective study enrolled 140 patients undergoing treatment for depression between May 2017 and June 2022, the observation group that received a combination of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and NET treatment (n = 70) and the control group that only received MBSR therapy (n = 70). The clinical effectiveness of the treatment was evaluated by assessing various factors, including the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD)-17, self-rating idea of suicide scale (SSIOS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and levels of serum inflammatory factors before and after 8 wk of treatment. The quality of life scores between the two groups were compared. Comparisons were made using t and χ2 tests. RESULTS After 8 wk of treatment, the observation group exhibited a 91.43% overall effectiveness rate which was higher than that of the control group which was 74.29% (64 vs 52, χ2 = 7.241; P < 0.05). The HAMD, SSIOS, and PSQI scores showed a significant decrease in both groups. Moreover, the observation group had lower scores than the control group (10.37 ± 2.04 vs 14.02 ± 2.16, t = 10.280; 1.67 ±0.28 vs 0.87 ± 0.12, t = 21.970; 5.29 ± 1.33 vs 7.94 ± 1.35, t = 11.700; P both < 0.001). Additionally, there was a notable decrease in the IL-2, IL-1β, and IL-6 in both groups after treatment. Furthermore, the observation group exhibited superior serum inflammatory factors compared to the control group (70.12 ± 10.32 vs 102.24 ± 20.21, t = 11.840; 19.35 ± 2.46 vs 22.27 ± 2.13, t = 7.508; 32.25 ± 4.6 vs 39.42 ± 4.23, t = 9.565; P both < 0.001). Moreover, the observation group exhibited significantly improved quality of life scores compared to the control group (Social function: 19.25 ± 2.76 vs 16.23 ± 2.34; Emotions: 18.54 ± 2.83 vs 12.28 ± 2.16; Environment: 18.49 ± 2.48 vs 16.56 ± 3.44; Physical health: 19.53 ± 2.39 vs 16.62 ± 3.46; P both < 0.001) after treatment. CONCLUSION MBSR combined with NET effectively alleviates depression, lowers inflammation (IL-2, IL-1β, and IL-6), reduces suicidal thoughts, enhances sleep, and improves the quality of life of individuals with depression.

“…Additionally, because of the sense of impotence or helplessness, those with the syndrome predictably progress to a desire to die or to commit suicide. 14 A treatment approach is described which the potential to alleviate the distress has caused by this syndrome. Overall, demoralization syndrome has satisfactory face, descriptive, predictive, construct, and divergent validity, suggesting its utility as a diagnostic category in palliative care.…”

Introduction: The concept of demoralization is used to describe situations of existential distress and self-perceived inability to effectively deal with stressors. The Demoralization Scale-II (DS-II) is a short and modified version of the original DS that measures the level of demoralization in patients. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Greek version of the Greek Demoralisation Scale-II (DS-II GR) in the population of patients with cancer. Methods: The main tool used in this cross-sectional study is the DS-II GR translated and evaluated for its psychometric properties in a sample of 150 Greek patients with cancer. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), convergent validity, known groups’ validity, cut-off points, internal consistency reliability and test-retest reliability were done. Results: According to the CFA, a two-factor model emerged with a different conceptual content and grouping than the original. The correlation coefficients between DS-II GR and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Greek (HADS-GR) The internal consistency of DS-II GR for factor 1, factor 2, and total score were measured with Cronbach’s alpha and calculated to be 0.906, 0.810, and 0.913. Conclusion: The Greek version of the demoralization scale is reliable and valid for assessing demoralization in Greek patients with cancer.
