Patient satisfaction with nutrition services amongst cancer patients treated with autologous stem cell transplantation: a comparison of usual and extended care

Abstract

Cancer patients treated with autologous stem cell transplantation were satisfied with usual and extended nutrition care. Extended care patients who received at least three telephone calls after hospital discharge were more satisfied than those with less frequent intervention. Further exploration regarding the frequency and intensity of nutrition service is required.

Early and Intensive Dietary Counseling in Lung Cancer Patients Receiving (Chemo)Radiotherapy—A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

“…This is an important finding since it suggests that patients do not appear to find the intensive dietary counseling too burdensome despite the demands of treatment. Similar findings are reported in previous studies using the PSCNS to assess patient satisfaction in head and neck and gastrointestinal cancer, hematology, and chemotherapy patients receiving individualized dietary counseling compared to usual care further suggesting intensive nutrition intervention is not perceived to be burdensome (27,30,31). No difference was found between the groups for dietitian interpersonal skills.…”

Exploring stakeholder experiences of dietetic service and care delivery: A systematic qualitative review

“…34,41,63,66 Nine studies explored the experiences of healthcare staff groups who interacted with dietitians and nutrition care team, including multidisciplinary healthcare teams, 31,35,43,57,58 general practice health professionals, 27,61 obstetricians and gynaecologists, 64 general hospital staff and staff at an industrial steel works. 38 Settings from included studies were acute hospitals (n = 23), 26,28,31,35,36,39,42,43,[45][46][47]49,50,[52][53][54][55]57,58,64,[66][67][68][69] primary care services (n = 7), 27,29,31,32,48,62,63 community health centres (n = 4), 30,37,52,56 ambulatory and outpatient ...…”

“…40 Five studies included multiple settings, including hospitals, community health centres and private practices. 34,[59][60][61]65 Nutrition care was related to the following health issues and medical conditions: cancer, 28,36,43,[45][46][47]49,53,65 type 2 diabetes, 11,30,60,61 overweight and obesity, 26,27,33,44,48,67,69 prenatal care, 64 mental health, 40,49 renal disease, 50,51,54,55,66 coeliac disease, 52 post traumatic brain injury 35 and lifestyle and chronic diseases. 29,31,32,38,39,41,56 The studies that included obesity also involved patients in the context of bariatric surgery 26 and women with obesity in antenatal care 44 and postnatal care.…”

“…33,46,47,54,63 Studies that used a survey instrument inconsistently documented the validity of the instrument, and little information indicating reliability and utility was provided. 33,34,37,42,[45][46][47]54,63,64 For all other methods used to explore experiences, no information was documented regarding reliability, utility or reflexivity. Qualitative design using semistructured telephone interviews.…”

Ernährungsberatung im Spannungsfeld zwischen Klinik und ambulanter Versorgung

“…Eine Verbesserung könnte hier die konsequentere Nutzung von telefonischer Kontaktaufnahme und Beratung im Rahmen der poststationären Betreuung bringen. Eine Studie in Australien zeigte, dass die Patienten es durchaus schätzen, eine Ernährungsberatung, auch wenn sie telefonisch erfolgt, zu erhalten [42].…”
