“…Advanced technology with large unknown machines (to the average patients) exacerbates anxieties about the radiation process in patients (Rose and Yates, 2015). The treatment course of radiation therapy takes almost two months, together with chemotherapy, which can cause suffering to patients (Pan et al, 2017).…”

Purpose: An exploration of concurrent chemoradiation therapy care process from the perspective of patients with head and neck cancer can provide an insight to their lived experience and the difficulties they encounter in daily life towards a deeper understanding of this phenomenon to shape nursing service delivery. The aims of this study were to explore the lived experiences of patients with head and neck cancer while receiving concurrent chemoradiation therapy. Methods: Data were generated from individual in-depth interviews with fifteen head and neck cancer patients, according to the semi-structured interview guidelines, at the out-patient radiation oncology department, Chulabhorn Cancer Center, Bangkok, Thailand. Results: By using Graneheim and Lundman’s content analysis, three categories from the data analysis of patients with head and neck cancer receiving concurrent chemoradiation therapy were isolated: 1) overwhelming information, 2) unpleasant symptom cluster, and 3) strategy for adherence to treatment regimen. Conclusion: The findings help to provide a better understanding of the lived experiences of patients with head and neck cancer during concurrent chemoradiation therapy, in terms of their suffering from various unpleasant side effects and how these impact their life along the treatment journey. This perspective on the care process in these patients enhances the development of a nursing care model based on patient-centered care toward positive patient outcomes.

“…Five relied on phenomenological interview processes (Matarese & Piredda, 2016;Rose & Yates, 2015;Komatsu & Yagasaki, 2014;Skea, MacLennan, Entwistle & N'Dow, 2014;Udo, 2014;McLennon et al, 2013). One was a case study (Rose & Yates, 2015) and one was a free-response survey (Banernjee et al, 2016). The remaining eight articles were quantitative.…”

“…Once patients had regained some independence they became more comfortable asking for help . Rose and Yates (2015) found that providing patients with one continuous nurse at their bedside throughout radiation therapy was appreciated by both patients and their families. The 216 subjects were divided into two cohorts that both filled out pre and post Quality of Life Greek researchers Karlou, Papathanassoglou and Patiraki (2015) claim that care is a metaphysical concept that connotes attendance to a patient's being; however, its meaning has changed to include tasks that facilitate medical treatment.…”

Background: The purpose of this paper is to identify present methods at relieving anxiety and distress in adult oncology patients. According to the American Cancer Association (2016), 1.7 million American will be diagnosed with cancer in 2016, and therefore, it is important for nurses to be competent caregivers to this growing patient population. Literature Review: A comprehensive review of current literature showed that consistent, competent caregivers, honest communication from the medical team, back massage, and music therapy were effective at cutting mean anxiety and distress scores by as much as 50 percent. Sixteen peer-reviewed articles from around the world and published in the last three years, plus one seminal article from 2004 were included in the literature review. Research: A phenomenological interview process with nine volunteers from a convenience snowball sample, who were diagnosed and treated over the age of 18 in California. Findings: Oncology patients benefit from personal coping methods such as: having a strong support system, having either personal or religious faith, and staying busy throughout their treatment. Medical personnel can supplement patient coping by providing clear expectations, by being compassionate and forthright, by prefacing negatives with positives, and by ensuring clinical competency in the skills performed.

“…A sampling of the gerontology, nursing, and oncology literature also identified similar attributes of patient-centred and person-centred care. These authors stress the importance of patient participation and involvement; the relationship and communication between patient and clinician [5]; seeing the patient as a ''whole'' person within his or her psychological and social context, respecting patient values, preferences, and expressed needs [6,7]; shared information and education; access to care; emotional support; involving family and friends; the continuity and coordination of care [8]; and care that involves an interdisciplinary team and provides support during treatment and at transitions [9].…”

Introduction: To investigate the understanding and practice of person-centred care by health care professionals and support staff at a cancer centre and to learn how patients and family members understand and experience person-centred care. Methods: The study was conducted in two phases. Phase 1 used large wall mounted posters and marking pens in public areas of the cancer centre to gather comments from staff, volunteers, students, patients, family members, and visitors to answer the question, ''What does person-centred care mean to you?'' Phase 2 used a sixquestion, open-ended, paper-based questionnaire for staff and patients. A manual coding technique was used to derive themes from both posters and questionnaires. Results: We derived 97 themes from the posters and 134 themes from 44 returned questionnaires (survey response rate of 37%). When the themes were combined and reprioritized, we learned that person-centred care is: (1) care that is caring, compassionate, and empathetic; (2) person or patient is the centre of focus; (3) care is unique to the individual's needs; and (4) person or patient is a part of their care. Furthermore, all staff should provide person-centred care. Conclusions: Our findings describe what our staff, patients, and family members believe person-centred care is, and how it should be delivered. Based on this research study, we recommend promoting additional dialogue and continuing education opportunities for health care professionals and other front-line staff who will assist them to complete the statement, ''I demonstrate person-centred care by.'' to their own satisfaction in the future. Conflicts of Interest: There are no conflicts of interest.
