An inventory of psychosocial oncological interventions in The Netherlands: identifying availability,gaps, and overlap in care provision

Abstract

Purpose: While a wide range of psychosocial oncological (PO) interventions has been developed, a systematic overview of interventions to inform patients, care providers, as well as researchers, policy makers and health insurers, is lacking. The aims of this paper were (1) to describe the attainment of this overview, which may be used in other jurisdictions and for other health conditions and (2) to reflect on what determines developments in this field.

Methods: Dutch researchers and care providers were invited to describe PO-interventions they apply in research or clinical practice. Selection criteria for what constituted a PO-intervention were determined. The input was organized in 12 predefined categories (e.g. physical functioning, genetics).

Findings: Sixty-six PO-interventions were included in the overview. Two major categories were psychosocial functioning (24%) and physical functioning and recovery (24%). Interventions are mostly directed at adults (65%) and not aimed at a specific type of cancer (61%). Nearly 25% of the interventions lacked scientific underpinning.

Conclusions: This paper provides an overview of Dutch PO-interventions and input on what drives their development. The categorizing method can be used in other jurisdictions and for other health care conditions. A next step would be to investigate the effectiveness and evidence of PO-interventions.

Implications for Psychosocial Providers and Policy: The open access overview of interventions provides referral information for care providers. By identifying possible gaps and overlap, the overview looks at possible drivers behind developments in this field which will be of interest to policy makers.     

三轨教学模式在肿瘤内科临床教学中的应用价值

目的分析肿瘤内科临床教学中三轨教学模式的应用价值。方法采用分层抽样法抽选2018年1月-2018年12月在本院实习的学生共68名纳入本次实验,并用均等双盲划分法将其中34例纳入对照组(采取传统教学法),剩余34例纳入观察组(采取三轨教学模式),观察两组教学效果。结果观察组理论及技能操作考核成绩比对照组更高,同时在提升学习积极性、掌握理论知识、培养临床能力、培养思维能力、培养自学能力、提升文献查阅能力、提升团队协作力、提升分析解决问题能力方面评分均高于对照组(P<0.05)。结论肿瘤内科的临床教学中采取三轨教学模式效果显著,能调动学生的主观能动性,提升其理论知识及技能操作水平,培养其临床实践能力及临床思维能力,值得采用。     

广州市越秀区12~15岁中学生牙周状况及口腔健康知信行调查分析

目的 了解广州市越秀区12～15岁中学生牙周状况及口腔健康知信行，为有针对性地开展青少年口腔疾病预防提供科学依据。 方法 采取整群随机抽样的方法，选择越秀区8个街道11所学校1 266名12～15岁中学生为调查对象，进行口腔健康检查和问卷调查。 结果 本研究共调查1 266名儿童，牙龈出血检出率为44.5%，牙石检出率为 36.5%。调查对象中，70.2%每天刷牙2次及2次以上，17.3%使用含氟牙膏刷牙，34.0%使用牙线。牙龈出血检出率随着年龄的增长而降低，牙石检出率随着年龄的增长而升高，不同年龄青少年差异均有统计学意义( x2 =48.14、28.266，P＜0.001、0.001)。结论 越秀区12～15岁青少年牙龈出血检出率较高，对牙周健康相关知识认知不足，需要进一步加强口腔保健知识的宣传教育。     

预见习在精神病学教学中的作用研究

目的探讨预见习在精神病教学中的作用。方法选取120名本科学生,随机分为预见习组(n=60)和对照组(n=60)。预见习组在学习精神病学理论课程前一学期开始实施带教老师带领学生预见习、见习、实习全程教学,对比两组学生实践操作、理论知识成绩和学生满意度。结果干预后,导师制预见习组实践操作和理论知识成绩显著高于对照组(P<0.05)。导师制预见习组学生满意度显著高于对照组(P<0.05)。结论预见习教学有助于学生全面发展,提高精神病学教学水平。     

Use,Awareness, Knowledge and Beliefs of Medication During Pregnancy in Malaysia

ObjectivesThis study aimed to assess medication use in pregnant women in Malaysia by measuring use, knowledge, awareness, and beliefs about medications.MethodsThis was an observational, cross-sectional study involving a total of 447 pregnant women who attended the Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic, Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL), Malaysia. A validated, self-administered questionnaire was used to collect participant data.ResultsMost of pregnant women had taken medication during pregnancy and more than half of them (52.8%) showed a poor level of knowledge about the medication use during pregnancy. Eighty-three percent had a poor level of awareness and 56.5% had negative beliefs. Age and education level were significantly associated with the level of knowledge regarding medication use during pregnancy. Multiparous pregnant women, and pregnant women from rural areas were observed to have a higher level of awareness compared with those who lived in urban areas. Use of medication during pregnancy was determined to be significantly associated with education level, and race.ConclusionAlthough there was prevalent use of medication among pregnant women, many had negative beliefs, and insufficient knowledge and awareness about the risks of taking medication during pregnancy. Several sociodemographic characteristics were significantly associated with the use (race and education level), level of knowledge (age and education level), awareness (parity and place of residence), and beliefs (race, education level, and occupation status) towards medication use during pregnancy.

Nutrition Knowledge and Dietary Intake of Adolescents in Cofimvaba,Eastern Cape,South Africa

The aim of the study was to assess the nutrition knowledge, nutrient intakes, and association between nutrition knowledge and dietary intakes of 98 adolescents attending five schools in rural Cofimvaba, South Africa. Measures included a socioeconomic questionnaire, two 24-hour-recall questionnaires, and food-frequency and nutrition knowledge questionnaires. The overall score for the multiple-choice section on general nutrition and the South African Food-Based Dietary Guidelines was 72.9%; 75.4% for correct identification of food groups; and 41.3% for correct identification of food portions/serving sizes. Median nutrient intakes, measured by 24-hour recall, failed to meet average requirements, with the exception of protein, carbohydrates, chromium, riboflavin, pantothenate, and vitamin K among girls. A similar trend was observed for boys. Lower total carbohydrate and fat and higher protein intakes were associated with a higher quartile score for nutrition knowledge. The study provided a valuable understanding of the association between nutrition knowledge and dietary intakes of adolescents.     

济南市中老年居民骨质疏松预防相关知识调查及影响因素分析

目的了解济南市中老年居民骨质疏松预防相关知识认知水平及其影响因素,为制定切合实际的干预方案提供科学依据。方法采用问卷对本地40岁以上的常住居民(居住时间半年以上)进行问卷调查。结果本地中老年居民骨质疏松相关知识总得分为(9.80±4.24)分,条目平均分的总体水平为(0.45±0.19)分;年龄段、婚姻状态、文化程度、经济状况、工作情况、医疗保险种类和体重指数不同分组的中老年居民预防相关知识认知水平不同,差异均有统计学意义(P0.05);多重线性回归分析显示,文化程度、工作情况和婚姻状态是骨质疏松预防相关知识认知水平的影响因素。结论疾控或健康教育工作者需要以骨质疏松基础知识、危险因素、治疗和随访、钙摄入以及运动等方面的知识或技能为重点,采用专家讲座、发材料和社区展板等方式面向中老年居民持续加强骨质疏松预防相关知识的普及;宣教时要注重文化程度较低、待业或失业和不在婚这几类中老年居民。
