“…2 For this reason, palliative care teams are increasingly called up to care for large and growing cancer survivorship populations, with nurses often serving as the backbone of both survivorship and palliative care models. [3][4][5] Chronic cancer-related pain is consistently reported as an unmet need among cancer survivors. 3,6 Often chronic cancer-related pain is related to treatments such as surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, or other pharmacologic treatments.…”

Palliative care teams are increasingly called up to manage chronic pain in cancer survivors. Chronic pain is common in cancer survivors and is heavily influenced by biopsychosocial factors. This study aimed to determine the relative contribution of unique cancer-specific psychosocial factors, pain catastrophizing, and multisite pain to the pain experience in 41 cancer survivors who completed curative cancer treatment. To test the research hypotheses, a series of nested linear regression models were used with likelihood ratio testing to test the individual and collective contribution of cancer-specific psychosocial factors (fear of cancer recurrence, cancer distress, cancer-related trauma), pain catastrophizing, and the number of pain sites on the pain experience. The results indicate pain catastrophizing and multisite pain explained a significant degree of variance in pain interference scores (P < .001) and pain severity (P = .005). Cancer-specific psychosocial factors did not significantly predict variability in pain interference (P = .313) or pain severity (P = .668) over and above pain catastrophizing and the number of sites of pain. In summary, pain catastrophizing and multisite pain contribute to the chronic cancer-related pain experienced by cancer survivors. Palliative care nurses are well positioned to improve chronic pain among cancer survivors by assessing and treating pain catastrophizing and multisite pain.

“…Self‐advocacy is defined as the ability of an individual to get his or her needs met in the face of a challenge (Hagan et al, 2016). Self‐advocacy has been widely endorsed as a necessary part of being a cancer patient by oncology patients and providers (Haylock, 2015), policy makers and advocacy organizations (National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship, 2021), and researchers (Sun et al, 2015). These groups encourage self‐advocacy as a means for patients to exert control over complex treatment decisions and uncertain health outcomes, address their unmet needs, and improve their healthcare experience.…”

“I pretty much followed the law, and there weren't any decisions to make”: A qualitative study of self‐advocacy experiences of men with cancer

Current conceptualizations of patient self-advocacy focus on women with cancer, leaving knowledge of male self-advocacy deficient. The purpose of this study is to describe the key components of self-advocacy among men with cancer. Adult (≥18 years old) men with a history of invasive cancer were recruited from cancer clinics and registries. Trained researchers led individual semi-structured interviews regarding participants' challenges, how they overcame those challenges, and barriers and facilitators to their self-advocacy. All interviews were analyzed using descriptive content analysis methods and synthesized into major themes. These themes were refined after receiving feedback from key stakeholders. Participants (N = 28) reported three major self-advocacy themes: (i) managing through information and planning; (ii) finding the best team and falling in line; and (iii) strategic social connections. These themes are richly described with representative quotations for each theme and subtheme. Based on these findings, existing models of patient selfadvocacy should be adjusted to encompass how men self-advocate. Clinicians should consider how gender may impact how and why patients with cancer self-advocate so that they can best support their patients in achieving patient-centered care.

Cancer-related fatigue in post-treatment cancer survivors: application of the common sense model of illness representations

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

BackgroundCancer-related fatigue (CrF) is a common and disruptive symptom that may be experienced during and after cancer. Research into the subjective experience of fatigue in this group is required. The common sense model of self-regulation of health and illness (SRM) addresses personal beliefs or mental representations—whether medically sound or unsubstantiated— that a person holds about a health issue. The current study assesses if the SRM could be used as a theoretical framework for organizing the experiences of people with CrF, with a view to identifying methods to address fatigue in cancer survivors.MethodFour focus groups were held with a total of 18 cancer survivors who reported they experienced ‘significant fatigue or reduced energy.’ A thematic analysis was conducted within the framework of the SRM.ResultsFindings were aligned with the SRM, with participants discussing fatigue with reference to representation, coping, and appraisal of symptoms. In particular, the wider social context of CrF was frequently addressed. Perceived inadequacies in support available to those with lingering fatigue after the completion of cancer treatment were highlighted by the participants.ConclusionThis study explored the subjective experience of fatigue after cancer using the SRM. CrF should be approached as a complex psychosocial issue and considered from the patient perspective to facilitate better understanding and management of symptoms. The SRM is an applicable framework for identifying modifiable factors that could lead to improved coping with CrF in post-treatment cancer survivors.
