Breast cancer patients' perspectives and needs about wed-based surgical decision aid: A qualitative study.

PURPOSE: Breast cancer diagnosis often presents patients with complex treatment decisions, particularly concerning surgical options. A patient decision aid can assist patients in making better decisions, and ultimately improving health outcomes positively. This study aims to explore the perceptions and needs of breast cancer patients regarding the utilization of wed-based surgical decision aids. METHODS: A descriptive qualitative study was conducted using semi-structured interviews with purposive sampling that were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. A thematic analysis was conducted using NVivo 12 software. Participants were recruited from a tertiary general hospital in Shanghai, China. Inclusion criteria were being diagnosed with breast cancer, age over 18 years old, considering breast cancer surgery as a treatment option and able/willing to give informed consent. RESULTS: From March to May 2023, 16 patients consented to participate and completed the interviews. Three major themes were revealed, with corresponding sub-themes: (1) informative and useful content (need to know as much information as possible, easy to understand and presented in multiple ways and highly credible from reliable resource); (2) user-friendly on design (easy to operate, simple function and man-machine interaction); and (3) suggested timing of use. CONCLUSIONS: Patients' perspectives and needs about wed-based surgical decision aids are numerous and diverse. In designing wed-based surgical decision aids for breast cancer patients, content, design and timing are all factors that need to be taken into consideration to encourage informed surgical decisions. Further work will focus on developing a feasible and acceptable web-based surgical patient decision aid (PtDA), and test its usability in a clinical setting to understand if the PtDA can meet the decisional needs of breast cancer patients, thus to improve quality of decision-making.

The Influencing Factors of Psychosocial Adaptation of Cancer Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Purpose: The psycho-social adaptation of cancer patients is very important, which affects the treatment, rehabilitation process and prognosis of patients, and is closely related to the subjective well-being and quality of life of patients. However, the key factors affecting the psycho-social adjustment of cancer patients are not clear yet. This study aims to evaluate the psycho-social adaptation of cancer patients and its influencing factors based on a meta-analysis. Basic procedures: The Systematic review was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) checklist and guided by the society-to-cell model framework. Literature retrieval was conducted from the construction of the library to December 2023. Main findings: Fourteen pieces of literature were included in this study, with a total sample size of 2922 cases. Among the 14 literatures included, 9 were in English and 5 were in Chinese, published between 1991 and 2021. All of the 14 literatures were cross-sectional studies. According to the society-to-cells model framework, the influencing factors are divided into 5 levels: society, community, family, individual, and physiology. However, studies related to the cellular level are lacking. Principal conclusions: The psychosocial adaptation of cancer patients is affected by physiology, individual, family, community and society, among which age, education level, disease uncertainty, hope level, psychological pain, self-efficacy, social support, coping styles (facing, avoidance, submission, and emotion-oriented) are the main factors affecting the psychosocial adaptation of cancer patients. However, studies related to the cellular level are lacking. This may be due to the fact that most of the factors from the individual to the society level are intervenable, and most studies focus more on the mining of these levels of factors. However, the biological basis is crucial to the occurrence and development of diseases, and needs to be paid attention to by nursing staff, and further research on this level needs to be strengthened in the future.

Objective: The aim of this article was to review existing documents in the field of mobile-based EMA and EMI, provide an overview of current hot topics, and predict future development trends. Methods: We conducted a bibliometric study on mobile-based EMA and EMI publications that were collected from the Web of Science Core Collection database. Biblioshiny and CiteSpace were utilized to analyze scientific productions, leading sources, authors, affiliations, documents, research hot topics, keywords, and trend topics. Results: A total of 2222 documents related to EMA and EMI published between 1992 and 2023 were retrieved. In recent years, scholarly publications have generally increased in mobile-based EMA and EMI research, particularly in the last decade. JMIR mHealth and uHealth (n=86), as well as JMIR (n=73), showed the highest number of publications. The United States (n=1038), Germany (n=218) and Netherlands (n=175) were leading countries. Regarding keyword co-occurrence and trend topics analysis, mental health, health behaviors, and feasibility were hot topics in mobile-based EMA and EMI research. Future research trends included using EMA for tailoring EMI, just-in-time adaptive interventions (JITAI), and digital phenotyping. Conclusion: This bibliometric study on mobile-based EMA and EMI is a valuable resource for understanding the field's evolution and future trends. Our analysis indicates that EMA and EMI have great potential in health behaviors and mental health, but implementation should consider feasibility and reactivity issues carefully. Emerging trends include EMA-tailored EMI, JITAI, and digital phenotyping. In the future, strengthening multidisciplinary cooperation will be necessary to promote the continued development of the field.

Tele-Instruction Tool for Multiple Lay Responders Providing Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in Telehealth Emergency Dispatch Services: Mixed Methods Study.

BACKGROUND: Telephone-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (T-CPR) has proven to be a crucial intervention in enhancing the ability of lay responders to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) during telehealth emergency services. While the majority of established T-CPR protocols primarily focus on guiding individual rescuers, there is a lack of emphasis on instructing and coordinating multiple lay responders to perform resuscitation collaboratively. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to develop an innovative team-based tele-instruction tool to efficiently organize and instruct multiple lay responders on the CPR process and to evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of the tool. METHODS: We used a mixed methods design in this study. We conducted a randomized controlled simulation trial to conduct the quantitative analysis. The intervention groups used the team-based tele-instruction tool for team resuscitation, while the control groups did not have access to the tool. Baseline resuscitation was performed during the initial phase (phase I test). Subsequently, all teams watched a team-based CPR education training video and finished a 3-person practice session with teaching followed by a posttraining test (phase II test). In the qualitative analysis, we randomly selected an individual from each team and 4 experts in emergency medical services to conduct semistructured interviews. The purpose of these interviews was to evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of this tool. RESULTS: The team-based tele-instruction tool significantly improved the quality of chest compression in both phase I and phase II tests. The average compression rates were more appropriate in the intervention groups compared to the control groups (median 104.5, IQR 98.8-111.8 min-1 vs median 112, IQR 106-120.8 min-1; P=.04 in phase I and median 117.5, IQR 112.3-125 min-1 vs median 111, IQR 105.3-119 min-1; P=.03 in phase II). In the intervention group, there was a delay in the emergency response time compared to that in the control group (time to first chest compression: median 20, IQR 15-24.8 seconds vs median 25, IQR 20.5-40.3 seconds; P=.03; time to open the airway: median 48, IQR 36.3-62 seconds vs median 73.5, IQR 54.5-227.8 seconds; P=.01). However, this delay was partially mitigated after the phase II test. The qualitative results confirmed the compatibility and generalizability of the team-based tele-instruction tool, demonstrating its ability to effectively guide multiple lay responders through teamwork and effective communication with telecommunicators. CONCLUSIONS: The use of the team-based tele-instruction tool offers an effective solution to enhance the quality of chest compression among multiple lay responders. This tool facilitated the organization of resuscitation teams by dispatchers and enabled efficient cooperation. Further assessment of the widespread adoption and practical application of the team-based tele-instruction tools in real-life rescue scenarios within the telehealth emergency services system is warranted.

Improve Cardiac Emergency Preparedness by Building a Team-Based Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Educational Plan.

Objective: To design an innovative team-based cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) educational plan for multiple bystanders and evaluate whether it was associated with better teamwork and higher quality of resuscitation. Methods: The team-based CPR plan defined the process for a three-person team, emphasize task allocation, leadership, and closed-loop communication. Participants qualified for single-rescuer CPR skills were randomized into teams of 3. The teamwork performance and CPR operation skills were evaluated in one simulated cardiac arrest scenario before and after training on the team-based CPR plan. The primary outcomes were measured by the Team Emergency Assessment Measure (TEAM) scale and chest compression fraction (CCF). Results: Forty-three teams were included in the analysis. The team-based CPR plan significantly improved the team performance (global rating 6.7 ± 1.3 vs. 9.0 ± 0.7, corrected p < 0.001 after Bonferroni's correction). After implementing the team-based CPR plan, CCF increased [median 59 (IQR 48-69) vs. 64 (IQR 57-71%)%, corrected p = 0.002], while hands-off time decreased [median 233.2 (IQR 181.0-264.0) vs. 207 (IQR 174-222.9) s, corrected p = 0.02]. We found the average compression depth was significantly improved through the team-based CPR training [median 5.1 (IQR 4.7-5.6) vs. 5.3 (IQR 4.9-5.5) cm, p = 0.03] but no more significantly after applying the Bonferroni's correction (corrected p = 0.35). The compression depths were significantly improved by collaborating and exchanging the role of compression among the participants after the 6th min. Conclusion: The team-based CPR plan is feasible for improving bystanders teamwork performance and effective for improving resuscitation quality in prearrival care. We suggest a wide application of the team-based CPR plan in the educational program for better resuscitation performance in real rescue events.
