Influence of shared medical appointments on health-related quality of life and quality of sleep in patients after liver transplantation / 中华健康管理学杂志

Objective:To observe the influence of shared medical appointments on health-related quality of life and quality of sleep in patients after liver transplantation.Methods:By randomized controlled study, a total of 124 patients after liver transplantation were included from our hospital from January 2018 to January 2019, and according to the lottery method, all subjects were divided into the routine management group ( n=64) who received routine outpatient intervention and the shared medical management group ( n=60) who received shared medical appointments management. The health-related quality of life and quality of sleep were investigated and compared by post-liver transplant quality of life questionnaire (pLTQ) and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) before intervention (the day of discharge) and after intervention (the end of the last shared outpatient service). Results:After intervention, the dimension scores of worry, economics, body function, emotional function, health service, complication and total score of pLTQ were improved in tow groups than before intervention [the routine management group: (41.90±7.61), (18.13±4.22), (22.22±5.10), (14.92±3.28), (20.39±4.87), (14.63±3.99), and (132.19±37.09) vs (32.25±5.55), (12.77±3.47), (17.58±4.72), (9.23±1.38), (15.17±4.81), (10.89±1.51) and (98.00±29.03) score, t=8.20, 7.85, 3.58, 12.79, 6.10, 7.01, 5.81, all P<0.001; shared medical management group: (46.12±7.92), (24.16±5.34), (25.55±5.42), (17.90±3.60), (24.81±5.12), (17.93±3.60) and (155.47±41.00) vs (32.57±5.69), (12.81±3.82), (17.00±4.70), (9.60±1.39), (15.39±4.84), (11.00±3.52) and (98.37±28.96) score, t=10.76, 13.39, 9.23, 16.66, 10.36, 10.66, 8.81, all P<0.001], and those in the shared medical management group were higher than those in routine management group ( t=3.03, 6.95, 3.53, 4.82, 4.93, 4.83, 3.32, all P<0.05). After intervention, the total score of PSQI scale were lower than before intervention in the routine management group [(10.48±2.14) vs (11.89±2.45) score, t=3.47, P=0.001], and the dimensions score of sleep quality, full-sleep time, sleep time, sleep efficiency, sleep disorders, daytime function, hypnotic and total score of PSQI were lower than before intervention in the shared medical management group [(1.41±0.32), (0.54±0.13), (1.17±0.26), (1.11±0.35), (1.21±0.27), (1.30±0.33), (1.08±0.21) and (8.05±1.75) vs (1.88±0.53), (0.86±0.37), (1.84±0.41), (2.05±0.56), (1.39±0.33), (1.47±0.43), (1.22±0.32) and (11.71±2.43) score, t=-5.88, -6.32, -10.69, -11.03, -3.27, -2.43, -3.65, -9.47, all P<0.05], and those in the shared medical management group were lower than those in routine management group ( t=-6.68, -6.39, -10.43, -10.97, -2.62, -2.12, -3.54, -6.90, all P<0.05). Conclusion:Shared medical appointments model can improve the health-related quality of life and quality of sleep in patients after liver transplantation, and improve the effectiveness of outpatient intervention.

Frequência de queixas de deglutição e alimentação durante consulta compartilhada em cuidados paliativos oncológicos / Frequency of swallowing and food complaints during shared consultation in oncological palliative care

RESUMO Objetivo identificar a frequência de queixas de deglutição e alimentação em pacientes oncológicos em cuidados paliativos e associá-las com os dados clínicos e funcionais. Métodos estudo transversal e descritivo, realizado com pacientes oncológicos atendidos durante consulta compartilhada em ambulatório de cuidados paliativos, por meio de triagem fonoaudiológica, protocolos e escalas, com análise estatística dos dados obtidos. Resultados amostra constituída de 52 indivíduos, atendidos durante 8 meses, com média de idade de 66,7 anos, Palliative Performance Scale (PPS) média de 57,5. A topografia da neoplasia mais frequente foi trato gastrointestinal e o tratamento foi cirurgia, quimioterapia e radioterapia associadas. As queixas da triagem foram categorizadas em deglutição e alimentação. Dessa forma, as de deglutição foram as mais frequentes e grande parte da amostra necessitou de avaliação funcional da deglutição. Apenas a associação entre queixas de deglutição e a topografia de trato gastrointestinal apresentou relação estatisticamente significativa. As queixas de deglutição foram mais frequentes nos pacientes submetidos à radioterapia e com menores porcentagens na escala PPS. Conclusão as queixas de deglutição foram as mais frequentes e as associações permitiram relacioná-las à localização do tumor e identificar sua frequência, conforme o tratamento oncológico e declínio funcional da terminalidade.

ABSTRACT Purpose to identify the frequency of swallowing and feeding complaints in cancer patients in palliative care, and to associate them with clinical and functional data. Methods cross-sectional and descriptive study, carried out with cancer patients treated during shared consultation in a palliative care outpatient clinic, through speech-language pathology screening, protocols and scales, with statistical analysis of the obtained data. Results Sample consisted of 52 subjects, seen during 8 months, with a mean age of 66.7 years, PSS (Palliative Performance Scale) a mean of 57.5. The topography of the most frequent neoplasm was the gastrointestinal tract and the treatment was surgery and associated chemotherapy and radiotherapy . Complaints identified at screening were categorized into swallowing and feeding. Thus, swallowing was the most frequent and a large part of the sample required a functional assessment of swallowing. Only the association between swallowing complaints and the topography of the gastrointestinal tract showed a significant statistical relationship. Swallowing complaints were more frequent in those undergoing radiotherapy and with lower percentages on the PPS scale. Conclusion swallowing complaints were the most frequent and the associations made it possible to relate them to the location of the tumor, and to identify their frequency according to cancer treatment and terminal functional decline.
