Integration of a palliative care specialist in an amyotrophic lateral sclerosis clinic: Observations from one center

Palliative care specialists can aid in the care of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In this article, we describe our 1-year experience incorporating a palliative care specialist into the ALS multidisciplinary team. We describe our integration model, patient selection, and visit content. Of 500 total clinic patients, 74 (14.8%) were seen by the palliative care specialist in 1 year. Referral was most often triggered by advance care planning needs (91%). In the initial visit with the palliative care specialist, topics most frequently covered included goals of care (84%), anxiety/depression (35%), and medical decision-making about feeding tubes (27%) or tracheostomy (31%). Symptom management comprised a relatively small number of the visits, and duration of visits was limited by patient fatigue. Patients with complex goals of care may benefit from the input of a palliative care specialist, and unique integration models may help to facilitate care delivery.

患者微信群结合奥马哈系统模式的延续护理对肺癌癌因性疲乏的影响

目的探讨患者微信群结合奥马哈系统模式的延续护理对肺癌患者癌因性疲乏的影响。方法选取我院2016年2月~2017年1月收治肺癌患者80例,随机将其分配至观察组与对照组,观察组实施为期3周的患者微信群结合奥马哈系统的延续性护理模式,对照组实施常规护理措施,比较两组患者癌因性疲乏评分与焦虑、抑郁量表评分。结果干预后,观察组患者癌因性疲乏评分与焦虑、抑郁量表评分较对照组明显缓解,差异有统计学差异(P0.05)。结论采用患者微信群结合奥马哈系统模式护理有助于改善肺癌患者癌因性疲乏,消除患者不良情绪,建立持续治疗信心,具有较好的应用前景。
