Abstract:

This book is the outcome of a new method of investigating the life experiences of health personnel engaged in paediatric oncology. It brings together the results of individual interviews with each member of the medical, nursing and technical staff in the Paediatric Oncology Department of the University Polyclinic of Padua and the Giannina Gaslini Institute of Genoa. The interviews, prepared using an open questionnaire format, were carried out by qualified personnel, after which the results were analysed and illustrated to the group of health care professionals involved. The two experiences, which are extremely significant in view of the distinction of the two centres of excellence involved, are compared and discussed with a view to making an interesting contribution to the debate on the delicate issues of bioethics implicated in problems connected with the end of life during the developmental stage.

Abstract:

This book, from the International Psycho-oncology Society, is the second in a series of Companion Guides for Clinicians. The series editors identified a need for a guide to focus on the impact of cancer and oncology treatments on sexual health, fertility, and relationships. This brief manual takes a psycho-oncology perspective, placing the emotional, behavioral, and social elements at the center of the topics covered in the chapters. The aim is to describe approaches and treatments that cancer clinicians, mental health professionals, psycho-oncologists in training, and allied psychosocial oncology professionals can use. It emphasizes the importance of multidisciplinary care. The guide is not intended to replace national clinical guidelines and policies but gives a more generic international overview of factors that need to be considered when dealing with these issues in cancer patients along the treatment trajectory. Topics include management of sexual health, onco-fertility care, and relationship issues. The manual covers standards of good practice across all cancer patients, as well as focusing on the needs of individuals, couples, young people, and LGBT+ groups in a pragmatic format for use in everyday practice. Assessment methods are covered, alongside psychological treatments, encompassing a range of patient ages and cancer types. Policies and service, legal, ethical, confidentiality, and communication issues are covered. This manual can be used for quick reference. This will suit oncology professionals who decide to look further into a topic on a case-by-case or problem-focused basis as they undertake clinical work.

Abstract:

Organization- and health system-level determinants of cancer outcomes are critical to understand. Studies focusing only on individual- or provider-level factors contributing to differential outcomes may mask the important, and often far-reaching, influence of organizational and system-wide structures, policies, norms, and behaviors that drive outcomes. This chapter explores case studies including implementation of patient reported outcomes symptom monitoring within a large academic medical center; cancer patient navigation programs to reduce social, economic, cultural, and system barriers to timely cancer care; how psychosocial support has been integrated into community-based and Veterans Administration (VA) oncology programs; and implementing Lynch syndrome testing within a VA integrated health care system.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter presents a new communication skills training initiative designed to advance family-centred care in the inpatient oncology setting. Because of their consistent contact with families, oncology nurses are well-positioned to initiate and model supportive care to the family. Two formats of training are presented: (i) a single-session module for acute care nurses focuses on responding to challenging family interactions at the bedside; (ii) a comprehensive, six-month curriculum for advanced practice nurses focuses on conceptualization and intervention skills, as applied to a range of complex family situations that arise during a patient’s admission. The training presented here teaches nurses to effectively partner with families, assess support needs, facilitate collaborative problem-solving, and transition families to psychosocial resources. Both training efforts were piloted at a large, comprehensive cancer centre. Preliminary data supports the feasibility and perceived relevance of training content, as well as gains in nurses’ confidence working effectively with families.

Abstract:

The field of psychosocial oncology must respond to the needs of increasingly diverse cancer patient and survivor populations. Taking a health equity approach, this chapter reviews the intersectionality of the gender, culture, and socioecological contexts relevant to psychosocial oncology and survivorship. The authors propose five initiatives to (1) ensure gender consideration in the way forward so that psychosocial oncology is more patient responsive in treatment and healing, (2) increase the diversity and capacity of psychosocial oncology providers by training health care providers and professionals from underrepresented groups, (3) expand the reach of psychosocial care beyond the confines of academic research institutes and cancer centers into community hospitals and settings, (4) increase participation of advocates and survivors in peer-based supportive care, and (5) encourage collaboration among psychosocial oncology professionals and organizations, advocates, and policy-makers to promote access to and availability of psychosocial supportive care for ethnic minority and underserved communities.

Abstract:

The prevalence of multifactoral distress is significant for cancer patients. In busy and highly specialized tumour clinics, screening for distress brings the science of caring to the team and enhances the role psychosocial oncology plays in the cancer centre. Standardized screening for distress is a simple and effective tool that can help the clinical team better understand, communicate, address patient concerns, and refer to the right professional in a timely way. Screening for distress has been widely endorsed and has become an accreditation standard in many jurisdictions around the world. Modern cancer care must incorporate screening for distress as routine practice in care of the patient.

Abstract:

There is an increasing number of patients who are immunocompromised either by malignancy, new therapies, or infection. This handbook aims to provide a clinically relevant guide for use by specialist trainee and consultant medical staff caring for immunocompromised patients in a hospital setting, including but not limited to the areas of infectious diseases, haematolo-gy, oncology, transplant medicine, HIV and genitourinary medicine, rheumatology, and general medicine. Divided into three sections, the handbook takes both a patient-centred approach, and a pathogen-centred approach. This includes the assessment, investigation, and management of different clinical syndromes presenting in patients with primary immunodeficiency, HIV infection, immunodeficiency as a result of therapeutic immunosuppression, haematological and solid organ malignancy, and immunodeficiency related to organ transplant. Medical conditions resulting in defective immunity (e.g. diabetes mellitus and chronic renal failure) are also covered in addition to travel in the immunocompromised. Furthermore, it includes guidance on the investigation and management of viral, bacterial, parasitic, and fungal infections of particular relevance to the immunocompromised host.

Full text

Abstract:

There is an evolution taking place regarding the nature and scope of the clinical goals of psychotherapeutic or counseling interventions in the palliative care setting. Meaning-Centered Psychotherapy in the Cancer Setting provides a theoretical context for meaning-centered psychotherapy (MCP), a nonpharmacologic intervention that has been shown to enhance meaning and spiritual well-being, increase hope, improve quality of life, and significantly decrease depression, anxiety, desire for hastened death, and symptom burden distress in the cancer setting. Based on the work of Viktor Frankl and his concept of logotherapy, MCP is an innovative intervention for clinicians practicing in fields of psycho-oncology, palliative care, bereavement, and cancer survivorship. This resource contains chapters on adapting MCP for different cancer-related populations and for different purposes and clinical problems, including interventions for cancer survivors, caregivers of cancer patients, adolescents and young adults with cancer, as a bereavement intervention, and cultural and linguistic applications in languages such as Mandarin, Spanish, and Hebrew.

Abstract:

Increasing worldwide migration, especially from developing nations to developed nations is making our societies more multiethnic, multicultural, and multilingual. Hence, as healthcare providers we are confronted with the challenge and opportunity to provide quality care that embraces the diversity of our patients and their families and reflects a deeper appreciation of their cultures and communities. Therefore, the current chapter examines culture, cultural competency, and the consideration of these constructs towards improving care and communication with the focus on oncology patients from diverse backgrounds, particularly those from cultural and linguistic minority communities. To further advance health communication and quality care, we present a health equity care model that embraces three pillars—cultural competency, cultural humility, and cultural empathy, and provide some recommendations and a case study for putting into practice these fundamental patient-centred principles.

Abstract:

This chapter presents a communication skills training initiative designed to train facilitators to deliver an advanced communication skills training course for senior healthcare professionals working in cancer and palliative care. It is generally accepted that communication skills training benefits healthcare professionals. However, little has been written about the training and support of those healthcare professionals who deliver this training. The chapter describes the content, process, and guidelines trainee facilitators explore while learning to deliver the experiential learner-centred advanced communication skills training course for senior healthcare professionals working in oncology or palliative care. The teaching methods presented include group safety, agenda setting, didactic methods, the use of trigger tapes, working with actors, and video-recorded role play with feedback. The facilitator training course was evaluated across six UK settings and had a positive effect on the participants’ perceived confidence in delivering communication skills training.

Abstract:

As most cancers occur in middle-aged or older adults, only a very small proportion of the overall radiotherapy workload relates to children and young people. As there is a wide spectrum of different cancer types in this age group, not only is paediatric cancer uncommon overall but each individual type is very rare. There are many ways in which to deliver radiotherapy, including advanced photon techniques, proton beam therapy, brachytherapy, and molecular radiotherapy. For these reasons, the care of children and young people requiring radiotherapy is limited to a small number of highly specialist centres. Delivery of high-quality paediatric radiotherapy requires a multiprofessional team including radiation or clinical oncologists, therapy radiographers, physicists, dosimetrists, anaesthetists, and play specialists. This team has to interact very closely with the wider paediatric and adolescent oncology multidisciplinary team, which includes oncologists, surgeons with different anatomical expertise, radiologists, and pathologists. Children, with their developing tissues and organs, are more susceptible to long-term radiation-induced complications, including second cancers, than adults. The art of paediatric radiotherapy, therefore, is to select treatment approaches which offer the maximum chance of cure while minimizing the risk of adverse effects. Careful teamwork, peer review of radiotherapy planning, and quality assurance within a clinical trial framework offer the best chances of achieving this balance. This book covers all these aspects, highlighting the need for highly specialist teams with the extensive knowledge and the broad skillset required to offer children and young people the best possible treatments.

Full text

Abstract:

Learning While Caring is about what the author has learned during his half-century career as a cancer doctor. During this time, medicine has changed greatly. It has become more scientifically based, more institutionally located, and now comprises almost one-fifth of the US economy. Despite these changes, much remains the same, especially the primary obligation of the doctor to the patient. Also during this period, most of the developed world has recognized health care as a right for all its members. This has been resulted in greatly improved care for many, but not for all. For the last 25 years the United States has been experimenting on how this should be achieved, beginning with the proposed but not enacted Clinton Health Security proposal and currently with the Affordable Care Act. While efficiency and cost control are essential, cost cannot be the only parameter of success. Access to high-quality health care must be made available to all. Proper education for an informed public must include an understanding of the general principles of biology, while that of a doctor must result in a familiarity with the humanities and social sciences. An academic physician has three responsibilities: patient care, teaching, and research. These latter two, while essential, must not conflict, compromise, or limit the doctor-patient relationship. This book is about the author’s activities in all three endeavors. Since his specialty is oncology, this is the major subject, but most of the information is applicable to all caring physicians.
