ABSTRACT

Introducción: la medicina basada en el valor ha logrado mejorar la calidad de atención del paciente y/o la satisfacción de las personas, reduciendo costos y obteniendo mejores resultados. Se apoya sobre tres pilares básicos: la medicina basada en la evidencia, la atención centralizada en el paciente, y la sustentabilidad. Sin embargo, existen pocas publicaciones sobre la estrategia de personas navegadoras para pacientes con cáncer de pulmón, que podrían ser una herramienta clave para brindar apoyo, asegurando que tengan acceso al conocimiento y los recursos necesarios a fin de completar la vía de atención clínica recomendada. Estado del arte: se trata de una intervención en salud cuyo objetivo principal es lograr vencer las barreras relacionadas con la atención (p. ej., logísticas, burocrático-administrativas, de comunicación y financieras) para poder mejorar la calidad y el acceso a la salud en el marco de la atención del cáncer. Estas personas cumplen un papel de guía para pacientes durante el proceso de diagnóstico y tratamiento activo. Su labor consiste en vincular al paciente con los proveedores clínicos, brindar un sistema de apoyo, asegurar un acompañamiento individualizado, garantizar que tengan acceso al conocimiento y a los recursos necesarios para completar el seguimiento y/o tratamiento adecuado. Discusión/Conclusión: indudablemente, es un elemento cada vez más reconocido en los programas de cáncer, centrado en el paciente y de alta calidad. Su implementación será de especial interés en la Unidad de Práctica Integrada para personas con cáncer de pulmón. (AU)


Introduction: Value-based medicine has succeeded in improving the quality of patient care and or patient satisfaction, reducing costs, and obtaining better outcomes. It rests on three fundamental pillars: evidence-based medicine, patient-centered care, and sustainability. However, there are few publications on the people navigator strategy for lung cancer patients, which could be a crucial tool for providing support, ensuring that they have access to the knowledge and resources needed to complete the recommended clinical care pathway. State of the art: It is a health intervention whose main objective is to overcome care-related barriers (e.g., logistical, bureaucratic-administrative, communication, and financial) to improve quality and access to health in the context of cancer care. These individuals play a guiding role for patients during the diagnostic and active treatment process. Their job is to link the patient with clinical providers, provide a support system, ensure individualized accompaniment, and guarantee that they get access to the knowledge and resources necessary to complete the appropriate follow-up and, or treatment. Discussion/Conclusion: Undoubtedly, patient navigators represent an increasingly recognized element of high-quality, patient-centered cancer programs. Its implementation will be of specific interest in the Integrated Practice Unit for people with lung cancer. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Background@#Colorectal cancer is highly preventable through early screening, but disparities in screening create a negative impact on the lives of those at risk. One approach to address this is patient navigation. This systematic review and meta-analysis therefore aimed to provide evidence of the effectiveness of patient navigation in increasing colorectal cancer screening uptake.@*Objectives@#This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of patient navigation on colorectal cancer screening uptake. Specifically, it aimed to study the effects of different methods of navigation on the uptake of initial screening tests among persons with average risk.@*Methods@#The studies included were randomized clinical trials conducted within 2011-2021 and involving only humans as participants. Data were analyzed by calculating the risk ratio and 95% confidence intervals of each successful outcome, and the investigators independently appraised each study’s risk of bias. Subgroup analysis was conducted to assess consistency of study effects. Certainty of evidence was assessed using the GRADE standard.@*Results@#Eleven (11) studies were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. All studies encompassed health systems of different countries, and they utilized different means of navigation to achieve outcome measure of colorectal cancer screening uptake. Results show a statistically significant increase in screening uptake with patient navigation in a forest plot. However, there is a high level of heterogeneity among the studies, hence a subgroup analysis was conducted among these studies according to navigation method.@*Conclusion@#This systematic review and meta-analysis show an increase in screening rates in those who were navigated. Results in favor of patient navigation was consistent when all studies were analyzed together and when they were analyzed according to navigation method. Increase in screening uptake is more statistically significant among patients navigated via face-to-face and via phone call, but data is more consistent for patient navigation via phone call alone.

ABSTRACT

O câncer de mama atinge 2.1 milhões de mulheres todos os anos no mundo. No Brasil, são 66.280 novos diagnósticos, segundo estimativas do INCA (Instituto Nacional de Câncer). Esse é o tipo de tumor mais frequente em mulheres de todas as idades e, nos países menos desenvolvidos, a mortalidade em decorrência da doença ainda é grande. No Brasil, por exemplo, as mortes chegam a 18 mil por ano, o equivalente a um quarto do total de casos e, apesar da eficácia da mamografia no rastreamento da doença, vemos um aumento gradual na incidência com uma razão de crescimento que fica entre 20% e 30%.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND@#Patient navigators are trained to provide support and guidance to patients throughout the cancer care continuum. They help "navigate" through the maze of doctors' clinics, outpatient centers, insurance and payment systems, patient-support organizations, and other components of the health care system. Yet there is no existing patient satisfaction tool to assess the patient navigation program in the Philippines for pediatric cancer. @*OBJECTIVES@# This study aims to evaluate satisfaction with the patient navigation program using a validated Satisfaction with Interpersonal Relationship with Navigator (SN-I-Ph) Measure among Filipino caregivers in a tertiary referral center for childhood cancer.@*METHODOLOGY@#The tool was first translated for cultural appropriateness, translated, and back translated into Filipino; the content validity and internal consistency were tested. Caregivers of Filipino children with cancer were recruited to answer the survey and the results analyzed.@*OUTCOME@#Content validity for all 9 items was acceptable with scores of 4.5-5 and internal consistency showed satisfactory results with cronbach alpha of 0.9067. A total of 202 participants were recruited to join the survey. Results showed mean±SD of 42.6±7.8. All the 9 items showed excellent satisfaction.@*CONCLUSION@#This study showed good satisfaction with the interpersonal relationship of the navigators among caregivers. Participants enrolled in the patient navigation program reported a positive overall experience with the medical care.@*RECOMMENDATIONS@#The tool is recommended for use among hospitals with the patient navigation program to assess satisfaction of the caregivers. Further studies can assess caregiver’s satisfaction as to logistic aspects as well as how to measure benefits and outcomes with the program.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: This study aimed to examine the effects of a mobile navigation program on uncertainty, resilience, and growth through uncertainty in colorectal cancer patients. METHODS: To verify the effectiveness of the mobile navigation program, 61 participants diagnosed with colorectal cancer undergoing surgery were selected. A nonequivalent control group nonsynchronized design was used to evaluate the program. Uncertainty was measured using the Korean version of the Uncertainty in Illness Scale, resilience was measured using the Korean version of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and growth through uncertainty was measured using the Growth through Uncertainty Scale. RESULTS: Compared with the control group, patients in the mobile navigation program group showed significant differences in scores for uncertainty (F=7.22, p=.009) and resilience (F=4.31, p=.042), but not for growth through uncertainty (F=2.76, p=.102). CONCLUSION: These results suggest that the mobile navigation program has positive effects on decreasing uncertainty and increasing resilience among colorectal cancer patients. The mobile navigation program could play a significant role in assisting colorectal cancer patients in regard to the continuity and usability of the program.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN: el retraso en el inicio de untratamiento efectivo del cáncer de mama reduce la tasa desupervivencia y está asociado a estadios más avanzados aldiagnóstico y a la necesidad de tratamientos más agresivos ycostosos. OBJETIVOS: Describir la trayectoria de la atención médicade mujeres con diagnóstico de cáncer de mama desde la apariciónde un signo o síntoma hasta la finalización del tratamiento.MÉTODOS: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo retrospectivo, quecombinó técnicas cuantitativas y cualitativas. Se estimaron lostiempos utilizados en cada etapa del proceso de atención de cáncerde mama en mujeres diagnosticadas y/o tratadas durante 2012 endos hospitales de la provincia de Santa Fe. RESULTADOS: Se incluyóa 62 pacientes en la muestra. El 20,3% obtuvo su diagnósticodentro del mes posterior a la mamografía y/o ecografía, y sólola mitad fue operada dentro del mes posterior al diagnóstico. El60% de las pacientes con necesidad de quimioterapia adyuvantey el 72,4% con necesidad de radioterapia tras la cirugía tuvierondemoras mayores a 60 días. Ninguna de las pacientes en estadio IVcomenzó el tratamiento antes de los 30 días. CONCLUSIONES: Si secompara con los parámetros establecidos en la guía del ProgramaNacional de Cáncer de Mama, hay demoras en todas las etapas. Esnecesario establecer estrategias que reduzcan los tiempos para laconfirmación diagnóstica en mujeres con sospecha, así como lostiempos de tratamiento en pacientes con cáncer confirmado.


INTRODUCTION: the delay to start an effectivetreatment for breast cancer reduces survival rate and is associatedto advanced stages at diagnosis and to the need for moreaggressive and costly treatments. OBJECTIVES: To describe thehealth care path of women with diagnosis of breast cancersince the first sign or symptom until the end of the treatment.METHODS: A retrospective descriptive study was performed,combining quantitative and qualitative techniques. It estimatedthe time used in each stage of the health care process amongwomen with breast cancer, diagnosed and/or treated during2012 in two hospitals of the province of Santa Fe, Argentina.RESULTS: A total of 62 patients were included in the sample.Of them, 20.3% received her diagnosis within 30 days of themammogram and/or ultrasound and 50% were operatedwithin one month of the diagnosis. There were delays of morethan 60 days in 60% and 72.4% of the patients who had toundergo adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy, respectively.None of the patients with stage IV began the treatment withinthe first 30 days. CONCLUSIONS: Compared to the guidelinesof the National Program of Breast Cancer, there are delaysat all stages. It is necessary to develop strategies to shortenthe time for diagnosis confirmation in women with suspectedbreast cancer and for the access to treatment in patients withcancer confirmed.
