Filter by:This study is planned to examine the levels of bodily value, care dependence and psychosocial cohesion-self-notification of patients in the Web Assisted Interactive Nursing Program (WDIHP) designed according to the Self Regulation Model. The mixed method is a research. One of the mixed research methods, the discovery sequenced design, will be used. The research will continue with the quantitative part, starting with the qualitative part. The quantitative part of the research is a randomized controlled experimental trial.
The aim of this study is to evaluate analgesic efficacy of ultrasound-guided rhomboid plane block or serratus plane block versus Intravenous opioid in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy.
In 230 patients undergoing mastectomy, the investigators will compare opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) versus conventional opioid-based anesthesia in terms of chronic pain. The enrolled patients will be randomly assigned into two groups with 1:1 ratio. Chronic pain will be evaluated at 1 year after mastectomy based on the Breast Cancer Pain Questionnaire (BCPQ). Baseline pain sensitivity test and psychologic evaluation will be done before operation.
Over the past decade, more and more healthcare professionals are using auriculotherapy as a preventative and effective therapy for pain. This therapy is applied by odontologists, anesthetists, surgeons, etc., to alleviate chronic pain. The effects of auriculotherapy are known in particular in reducing preoperative anxiety, pain in cancer patients and postoperative pain. The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of adding auriculotherapy to the standard global anesthetic protocol, compared to this single reference protocol, on the incidence at 3 months post-intervention of Chronic Post-Surgical Pain, in patients operated for a mastectomy with reconstruction immediate by latissimus dorsi flap.
The women with breast cancer and their spouses experienced physical and mental distresses together, nevertheless, the spouses were the significant supporters for patients during post-surgery rehabilitation. Based on the patient and family-centered care (PFCC), it was hypothesized that the couple engages in post-surgery rehabilitation could help women to have an improved shoulder range of movement, quality of life, and couples have better marital intimacy. All the women were eligible to be included in the randomized control trial if diagnosed with breast cancer, received breast surgery, her spouses were accompanying, and gave written consents. Women were randomized into two groups. The control group continues to receive usual care. The experimental group, who received couple-based family nursing (30-60 minutes couple-based interviews) based on the core concepts of PFCC: dignity and respect, information sharing, participation, and collaboration. The study nurse empowered spouses to assist the women's daily rehabilitation with a special workbook by clear pictures demonstration.
The LOLIPOP Trial is a large (n=4,300 patients) pragmatic, international, multicentre, prospective, randomised, double blind, placebo-controlled, parallel assessment, safety and effectiveness superiority study.
Ultrasound-guided blockage of the erector plane of the spine (known as ESP BLOCK) is a recently described block and a very useful strategy in the perioperative period as it provides effective analgesia in thoracic surgery. Ultrasound-guided type II pectoral nerve block (internationally known by the acronym Pecs II block) is a very useful strategy in the perioperative period because it provides effective analgesia in breast surgeries and can optimize results. The aim of this study is to assess perioperative pain in mastectomies. This is a prospective, randomized, single-blinded study that will compare the effects of spinal erector plane block versus pectoral nerve block in patients scheduled for mastectomy. The ESP group will receive balanced general anesthesia associated with ESP BLOCK with 0.5% ropivacaine guided by ultrasound. The Pecs II group will receive balanced general anesthesia associated with Pecs II block with 0.5% ropivacaine guided by USG.
The purpose of this study is to learn whether there is a superior fat processing method in terms of graft retention in breast reconstruction after mastectomy.
Breast cancer is the most common cause of cancer death among women worldwide. Incidence rates are high in more developed countries than rates in less developed countries In Egypt, standardized age of cancers are 166.6per 100.000 in both sexes cancer breast represent 32%in females and 15.4%in both sexes of all cancer Mastectomy is an important treatment method in Brest cancer. But, mastectomy has a deep and stable negative impact on a woman because, mastectomy as a treatment option, can result in a sense of mutilation and diminished self-worth and may threaten perceptions of femininity Body image of a woman includes the symbolic meaning and importance of her breasts. The more she values her breasts, more devastating effects of having a mastectomy can be. it has been reported that cutting off/amputating one or both breasts was associated with several problems in women such as loss of fertility, charm and sexuality, fear of recurrence Social support plays an important role in reducing the pressure and improving health. Cancer patients who lack social support may be more pessimistic and desperate as they are constantly looking for support from others Therefore, it is critical for health care professionals to become familiar with the impact of a breast cancer diagnosis and its treatment on patient's quality of life .
Pain management is a major concern in oncologic breast surgery and reconstruction. Significant risks for acute and chronic pain after surgery might be reduced through improved pain control pre-operatively. Addition of regional anesthesia to a multimodal peri-operative pain management protocol offers a promising solution for improved recovery. For patients undergoing mastectomy with immediate alloplastic breast reconstruction, this RCT compares TPVB+Pecs local anesthetic block with TPVB local anesthetic block and Pecs placebo normal saline block for their effect on acute pain, chronic pain, opioid consumption, opioid-related side effects, patient-reported quality of recovery after surgery, and length of stay.
