“…Integrating psychological support, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based techniques, can help address psychological factors and enhance pain management outcomes (40)(41)(42). Palliative care measures, including symptom management, nutritional support, speech therapy, and social support, stand as pivotal agents in enhancing the quality of life for those confronting advanced head and neck cancer (43,44).…”

: Surgical interventions and radiotherapy for head and neck cancer frequently result in substantial instances of acute and chronic discomfort. Optimizing pain management techniques stands as a pivotal factor in enhancing the well-being and overall quality of life for patients. This comprehensive review discusses various pain conditions encountered after head and neck cancer and explores a multidimensional approach to pain management. The review highlights the significance of incorporating multimodal analgesia, physical therapy, psychological support, palliative care, and emerging techniques including nerve blocks to achieve efficacious pain control. Such an endeavor necessitates cooperation among head and neck surgeons, radiotherapists, and pain specialists.

Background: Human papilloma virus (HPV) infection imposes a substantial global disease burden and represents a critical public health concern. The persistently low uptake of HPV vaccination poses a significant obstacle to reducing cervical cancer incidence, particularly in remote rural areas of developing nations. Objective: This study aims to assess the extent of Human papilloma virus vaccine coverage among adolescents and explore the associated determinants to facilitate enhanced planning strategies within the Kabarole district. Methodology: Employing a cross-sectional survey approach, data were gathered from 240 adolescent girls residing in the Kabarole district between October 2021 and February 2022. Simple and multiple logistic regression analyses were employed to investigate the relationships between HPV vaccination uptake and various independent variables, including demographics, HPV knowledge, and health system factors. Results : Of the 240 adolescents enrolled, the overall prevalence of uptake of HPV vaccination was 63%. The uptake of human papilloma was associated with demographics knowledge about HPV and health systems factors. The multivariate analysis showed that parents who completed secondary level of education were 4.1 times more likely to take their children for HPV vaccination compared to parents whose education level was primary or had no formal education(AOR=4.06; 95%CI(0.69-0.087); p=0.004). Distance from home to facility was associated with uptake HPV vaccination. Participants who came from the distance of more than 5 km were 60% less likely to uptake HPV vaccination compared to those who come from 5km or less (OR=0.4; 95%CI (1.43 – 8.09); p=0.006). Results further revealed that parents whose knowledge about HPV vaccination was moderate were three times more likely to take up HPV vaccine compared to those whose knowledge was low (OR = 2.99; 95%CI(1.14 – 7.87); p=0.026). Conclusion : HPV vaccination uptake was at 63% and relatively lower than national average. Education of parents, Knowledge of HPV vaccination and distance to facility were factors significantly associated with uptake of Human papilloma virus vaccine

ObjectiveCharacterizing factors associated with palliative care (PC) use in patients with stage III and VI head and neck cancer using Anderson's behavioral model of health service use.Study DesignA retrospective study of the 2004 to 2020 National Cancer Database.ggMethodsWe used multivariate logistic regression to assess the association of predisposing, enabling, and need factors with PC use. We also investigated the association of these factors with interventional PC type (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery) and refusal of curative treatment in the last 6 months of life.ResultsFive percent of patients received PC. “Predisposing factors” associated with less PC use include Hispanic ethnicity (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 086; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.76‐0.97) and white and black race (vs white: aOR, 1.14; 95% CI, 1.07‐1.22). “Enabling factors” associated with lower PC include private insurance (vs uninsured: aOR, 064; 95% CI, 0.53‐0.77) and high‐income (aOR, 078; 95% CI, 0.71‐0.85). “Need factors” associated with higher PC use include stage IV (vs stage III cancer: aOR, 2.25; 95% CI, 2.11‐2.40) and higher comorbidity index (vs Index 1: aOR, 1.58; 95% CI, 1.42‐1.75). High‐income (aOR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.71‐0.85) and private insurance (aOR, 0.6; 95% CI, 0.53, 0.77) were associated with higher interventional PC use and lower curative treatment refusal (insurance: aOR, 0.82; 95% CI, 0.55, 0.67; income aOR, 0.48; 95% CI, 0.44, 0.52).ConclusionLow PC uptake is attributed to patients' race/culture, financial capabilities, and disease severity. Culturally informed counseling, clear guidelines on PC indication, and increasing financial accessibility of PC may increase timely and appropriate use of this service.
