Abstract:
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women in the United States. Several factors have been identified that interfere with women's breast cancer screening practices, including lack of knowledge and confidence in the breast self-examination (BSE) technique, and lack of information provided by health care provider. One of the reasons nurses do not teach breast cancer detection could be the little emphasis given to breast cancer examination in nursing schools. The BSE is a measure of significant value in detecting cancer of the breast. However, less than half of the women in the United States are participating in breast cancer screening. The purpose of this quantitative study was to investigate the relationship between the freshman and senior nursing students' breast cancer knowledge (BCK) and breast self-examination technique confidence (BSE_TC). An online survey was administered to measure the students' BCK and their BSE_TC. The social cognitive theory guided this study. A sample 100 nursing students (54 senior and 46 freshman) were included for hypothesis testing. The study results indicate that senior nursing students had higher mean scores on the BCK and BSE_TC, as would be expected. However, senior nursing students' BCK_BSE_TC scores were also very low. This is a concern for the future of breast cancer detection. This study provides data showing breast cancer screening concepts are unclear to freshman students, and remain unclear with senior students. Nursing educational curricula in breast cancer screening should be revised to affect improvements in nurses' role in advising and educating patients.

Abstract:
Lymphoedema of the ipsilateral upper limb is one of the most significant long term complications of the surgical treatment of breast cancer and may be described as a life sentence of bodily disfigurement. The resultant cosmetic disfigurement, physical discomfort and reduced physical mobility combined with the psychological sequelae, far exceeds the original expectations of the breast surgery patient (Tobin, Lacey, Meyer, and Mortimer, 1993). It is estimated that one hundred thousand women in Australia have developed lymphoedema (or will develop it before they die) as a result of mastectomy and radiotherapy alone (Casley-Smith, 1992). In breast cancer patients, lymphoedema can follow radical surgery including lymph node dissection, fibrosis due to radiotherapy or it can represent late recurrence of malignant tumour in the axilla occluding lymphatic pathways (Ellis & Caine, 1983). This descriptive correlational study focussed on describing the experiences of women with lymphoedema following surgery for breast cancer and identifying whether or not its occurrence is related to the type of surgery undergone, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and Tamoxifen therapy in a convenience sample of women (n=l44), who had had surgery for breast cancer. There was an 81.3% response rate to the questionnaire (n=ll7). The majority of the respondents were from an urban sector of Western Australia with a mean age of fifty three (53) years. Data were supplemented by information from participants' responses to open ended questions which were then quantified.

Abstract:
Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is a persistent and debilitating problem for many breast cancer survivors. Although many CRF measurement tools are available, no consensus exists on the most appropriate tool to use for breast cancer survivors. The purpose of this project was to identify the best method of assessing CRF in breast cancer survivors. The practice-focused question inquired about the most appropriate way to assess fatigue in breast cancer survivors. The central concepts of the project were CRF and cancer survivorship. This project was informed by the theory of health as expanding consciousness and Mishel's theory of uncertainty in illness. The sources of evidence included multi-database searches and literature from professional organizations. Results were tracked using preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and metasystems and a literature review matrix. The search identified 14 sources, which were assessed for quality using the grading of recommendations, assessment, development, and evaluation process. The results of this systematic review did not support the use of any particular assessment tool; however, 2 clinical practice guidelines recommended screening using a numerical severity scale followed by detailed assessment of clinically significant fatigue using available assessment tools. Screening can be implemented into the survivorship clinic, allowing nurses to identify potentially clinically significant fatigue so that further workup is done and interventions are implemented. Identifying, assessing, and intervening for clinically significant fatigue can improve the quality of life for breast cancer survivors, contributing to positive social change.

Abstract:
Great debate surrounds the issue of patients with breast cancer participating in surgical/medical decision making and their ability to give an informed consent. Health care professionals must balance the need to safeguard the rights of patients, respect their autonomy and yet be sensitive to the changes and individual variations a patient may demonstrate as they progress from diagnosis to the end point of their disease. The premise underpinning the study and literature review, reflected in the published works presented here, focuses on a woman's right to access, should she choose, accurate information to make an informed treatment choice based on an exploration of the literature which reviews the ethical issues including autonomy, informed consent, advocacy, communication, access to information, approaches to shared decision making, psychiatric morbidity and evidence based medicine. Objectives of the Study Reflected in the Published Work Presented Here: 1. To determine the acceptability of an interactive video system, in addition to the standard informational care and support provided by the clinicians and clinical nurse specialist, as a means of providing information about the risks and benefits of treatment choices-surgery and subsequent adjuvent chemotherapy - to women with early breast cancer who are facing choices about treating their early breast cancer. 2. To determine whether providing information to women with early breast cancer using an interactive system significantly reduces anxiety and depression associated with the diagnosis and treatment of this condition. 3. To determine whether providing information using an interactive video system, to women about treatment choices significantly increases patient satisfaction with the choice they have made. To assess this for a two year period patients attending for surgical treatment for early breast cancer were recruited, after full discussion and written consent, into a randomised control trial to evaluate the acceptability and effectiveness of the interactive video system. Eligible patients (100)included all women with an early primary invasive breast cancer who had a genuine choice between treatment options.. Patients excluded from recruitment and viewing the Interactive Video (IVD)/Shared Decision - Making Programme (SDP) were all women who did not have a straightforward choice. All patients in the intervention group completed the following: a. Acceptability of the Interactive Video; b. Assessment of Health Status, The SF36 (Ware and Sherbourne 1992) c. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HAD) scale (Zigmond & Snaith 1983) After nine months the patients were again asked to complete the three questionnaires but at this point Questionnaire 1. elicits the patient's satisfaction with their treatment choice.

Full text
Abstract:

Women who undergo immediate mastectomy for breast cancer experience tremendous anxiety when faced with breast reconstruction and are often conflicted regarding which type of breast reconstruction to choose. This pilot study aimed to analyze the impact of a decision aid, adapted from Stanford University Breast Center, on decisional conflict in women with newly diagnosed breast cancer seeking breast reconstruction. Twenty newly-diagnosed breast cancer patients seeking breast reconstruction at a large academic healthcare center were randomized into two groups. Comparisons were made between women who reviewed the standard educational materials prior to initial consultation, and women who reviewed these materials and then reviewed a decision aid brochure at initial consultation and two weeks post consultation, utilizing the Decisional Conflict Scale. Technical issues halted data collection after only nine participants completed the study. Although no reliable findings could be interpreted from such a small sample size, the results suggest the decision aid as a valuable tool for patient education. Nurses may gain increased awareness of the emotional conflicts faced by newly diagnosed breast cancer patients when making decisions for breast reconstruction.

Abstract:
Younger breast cancer survivors often report problems related to sexuality following surgical and adjuvant treatment that often lead to sexual distress and body image distress. This research was conducted as an exploratory study within a larger R01 trial with the purpose to evaluate sexual distress and body image related-distress in younger women with breast cancer and to examine the extent to which the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction-Breast Cancer (MBSR(BC)) was efficacious in improving distress related to sexuality, i.e. sexual distress and body image related-distress. The aims of this study were to: 1) evaluate the efficacy of the MBSR(BC) program in improving the psychological symptoms of sexual distress and body image related distress; and 2) evaluate whether positive effects achieved from the MBSR(BC) program are modified by specific patient characteristics measured at baseline. Ninety-one participants were randomized to either the MBSR(BC) intervention or Usual Care (UC) and assessments were conducted at baseline, 6-week and 12-week follow-up for sexual distress, body image related distress, demographic data as well as clinical history. For aim 1, analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and linear mixed model (LMM) analysis were the methods used to evaluate the efficacy of the MBSR(BC) program. For aim 2, ANCOVA and stepwise multiple linear regression were used to evaluate the patient characteristics at baseline that modified the effects achieved from the MBSR(BC) program. Results showed the mean age of the sample was 57 years and 74% were White, non-Hispanic. Chi square analyses found that there were no significant differences between the MBSR(BC) and UC groups on baseline demographic or clinical characteristics. For Aim 1, results of the ANCOVA analyses found that there was no significant difference between the MBSR(BC) and UC groups at the 6-week follow-up on sexual distress or body image related distress (both p > .05). However, ANCOVA analyses found that there was a significant relationship between baseline scores and scores at the 6-week follow-up for both sexual distress (p < .0001) and body image related distress (p < .0001). Further ANCOVA analyses for Aim 1 found that there was a trend towards a statistical significance for the difference between the MBSR(BC) group and UC groups at the 12-week follow-up for both sexual distress (p = .09) and body image related distress (p = .06). Results of the Linear Mixed Model (LMM) analyses, implemented to assess sexual distress over time, showed a significant main effect (ME) of time (p < .000) and a trend towards significance for the time by assignment interaction (p = .104). The LMM analyses for body image disturbance resulted in a significant ME of (p < .000) and an interaction that approached significance (p = .071). For aim 2, ANCOVA results found that age at baseline was a significant predictor of change at 6 weeks in levels of body image related distress (p = .007), but no relationship was observed for sexual distress. Further, analysis using a stepwise multiple linear regression analysis found age at baseline to be the only significant predictor of both baseline sexual distress (p = .004) and baseline body image related distress (p = .008). Although the MBSR(BC) program was not tailored for integrating sexuality content, results of this stress reducing program (MBSR(BC)) program, adapted for breast cancer survivors, appeared to benefit these young women. The findings of this study identify that there is a need for stress reducing interventions addressing problems related to sexual distress and body image related distress. In addition, these results identified that clinically, BCS should be assessed for sexual distress and body image disturbance post-treatment, and interventions to assist with this distress should be incorporated into their plan of care.

Abstract:
Introduction: Brazil is currently living in a scenario of epidemiological transition in health. Simultaneous occurrence of diseases is common to those of developed and underdeveloped countries, thus, facing a major challenge in planning and managing efficient public health policies that cover ongoing transitions. The increase in life expectancy leads to an increase in the incidence of chronic-degenerative diseases such as cancer. The use of the Internet for lectures, courses, and questionnaires, due to agility, low cost, wide reach, and excellent use of responses has been demonstrated as an excellent tool for research and teaching. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the importance and impact of conducting online training courses for primary health care professionals in the screening, identification, and management of breast diseases/ breast cancer. Methodology: This is all cross-sectional and descriptive, carried out through the selection of 80 physicians and 100 nurses from primary health care in the municipality of Foz do Iguaçu by virtual communication and link to attend the course with mastological content elaborated from the Mastology Treaty of the Brazilian Mastology Society. Online lecture was held by shared platform with later discussion and clarification, application of a virtual questionnaire on the perception of the importance of the lecture content in their daily activities, and assimilation of the content. The value of the answers to the questionnaire was determined according to the profession and time of graduation. Results: We observed a higher access among nursing professionals when compared with physicians, 46%×28%. The group of physicians, mean age of 39.7 years, ranging from 28 to 56 years, equally distributed between 3 and 5 years, 5 and 10 years, and more than 10 years were formed. Regarding nursing, the groups with mean age of 36.9 years, ranging from 23 to 57 years, predominantly professionals with more than 10 years were formed (60.9%). All participants found this study useful or very useful for their professional activities. We observed a performance higher than 75% in correct answers to the questions in 61% and 56% of medical professionals and nurses, respectively, and close to 80% with performance higher than 50% in both groups. Among themselves related to the lowest rate of correct answers were the exclusion of self-examination as a measure of prevention and the higher rate are the indications of breast ultrasound complementary to mammography. Conclusion: Online courses for primary care professionals can be considered a useful tool in the training process, with low cost, good results, and great acceptance.
