THE EFFECTS OF CARE COORDINATION ON SYMPTOMS AND QUALITY OF LIFE ON CANCER PATIENTS UNDERGOING TREATMENTS a SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

THE EFFECTS OF CARE COORDINATION ON SYMPTOMS AND QUALITY OF LIFE ON CANCER PATIENTS UNDERGOING TREATMENTS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW Tran Thuy Duong RN, BSN Supervisor: Dr Kimberly Alexander Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Masters of Nursing (Coursework) School of Nursing and Midwifery Faculty of Health Queensland University of Technology July 2015 Keywords Care coordination, cancer patients, treatments, symptoms, systematic review, and quality of life i Abstract Background: Patients living with cancer experience poor symptoms and quality of life during and after treatments As supplementary to usual care to improve symptoms and QoL, nursing interventions such as care coordination or nurse navigation are increasly used in cancer cares Objectives: The main objective of this systematic review was to evaluate the effectiveness of care coordination on symptoms and QoL of cancer patients receiving active treatments Methods: A systematic, computerized search in CINAHL, MEDLINE, PUBMED and PsycINFO was conducted Included studies in this review were measured symptoms or QoL in patients cared for by care coordination as a primary outcome measure In total, 3626 published articles were identified and 16 studies were reviewed that met the inclusion criteria and methological quality standards Results: The effect of care coordination in symptom improvement was documented in pain, fluid intake, sleep and rest, mobility, sociability, physical safety, body image and sexuality, while other symptoms were not improved Also, few studies provide evidence for better QoL scores and other subdomains However, this review cannot provide a qualified conclusion about the relationship between care coordination and symptoms and QoL The main reasons for this include: limited number of studies, inconsistencies across the included studies, and the poor quality of the included studies Conclusion: There was insufficient evidence to evaluate whether care coordination is effective in cancer patients’ QoL while undergoing treatments Future research ii needs to be conducted to understand the effect of care coordination on cancer patient symptoms and QoL
