Reactions during relapse and various self-management at cancer recurrence. Recurrence can occur due to the presence of cancer cells left during surgery or cancer cells that are resistant to chemotherapy drugs or radiation. This study was conducted to explore the experiences of cancer patients at the time of relapse. The research method is a qualitative study of interpretive phenomenology. Samples of male or female adult cancer patients who experienced recurrence. The results found two themes and several sub-themes: 1) Reactions during relapse (physical reactions and psychological reactions), 2) Efforts made by patients to overcome cancer recurrence ( efforts made non-medically, efforts made medically, lifestyle changes , and draw closer to God). In conclusion, patients who experience cancer recurrence have physical symptoms either in the same place or in different places accompanied by psychological responses. Efforts are made non-medically and medically, changing lifestyles and approaching yourself to God. The recommendation for further research is that the results of this study can be used as data to quantitatively measure the problems and needs needed by cancer patients when experiencing a relaps"

Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 participants. The results of this study revealed five themes: 1) Decision to undergo medical treatment; 2) Decision to undergo alternative treatment; 3) Barriers to undergoing medical treatment; and 4) Benefits gained from medical treatment, and 5) Benefits gained from local alternative medical treatment. The role of oncology nurses and other healthcare professionals is crucial in understanding each patient's treatment choices and providing accurate information about the appropriate cancer treatment options needed by cancer patients."

"Sebagian besar pendekatan perawat dalam merawat pasiennya ditentukan oleh peran gender, sehingga masalah seperti kesetaraan dalam pemberian perawatan keperawatan spiritual menjadi sangat penting. Studi-studi yang ada belum secara menyeluruh memfokuskan perbedaan peran gender dalam asuhan keperawatan spiritual. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menyelidiki hubungan antara kompetensi dalam pemberian asuhan keperawatan spiritual oleh setiap perawat berdasarkan peran gender bagi pasien perawatan paliatif kanker di Rumah Sakit Kanker Dharmais, Jakarta. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain korelasional kuantitatif potong-lintang dengan 110 perawat sebagai partisipan melalui teknik quota sampling dengan Bem Sex Role Inventory-Short Form (BSRI) dan Spiritual Care Competence Scale (SCCS) sebagai instrumen penelitian untuk mengukur peran gender dan kompetensi asuhan keperawatan spiritual. Hasil analisis bivariat menunjukkan bahwa ada hubungan yang signifikan secara statistik antara feminitas (r = 0,530, p < 0,001) dan maskulinitas (r = 0,611, p < 0,001) dengan kompetensi asuhan keperawatan spiritual, serta adanya perbedaan dalam kompetensi asuhan keperawatan spiritual antara perawat dengan peran gender androgynous dan undifferentiated (p < 0,001). Rumah sakit atau fasilitas kesehatan yang memiliki perawatan paliatif bagi pasien kanker seharusnya mendorong perawat, terlepas dari jenis kelamin biologisnya, untuk mengekspresikan kedua peran gender karena berkorelasi positif dengan kompetensi asuhan keperawatan spiritual. Penelitian selanjutnya dapat mengeksplorasi lebih lanjut karakteristik masing-masing peran gender sehingga dapat ada bukti yang lebih definitif mengenai hubungan antara peran gender dan kompetensi perawatan keperawatan spiritual.

Every nurse regardless of their sociodemographic background must be competent in providing quality spiritual nursing care. As gender roles dictate much of nurses’ approach in caring for their patients, matters such as equality in the provision of spiritual nursing care becomes urgent. Existing studies have not focused thoroughly on the gender roles difference in spiritual nursing care. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between the competence of spiritual nursing care provision by each nurse by gender roles for cancer palliative care patients at Dharmais Cancer Hospital, Jakarta. This study used quantitative correlational cross-sectional design with 110 nurses as participants through quota sampling with Bem Sex Role Inventory-Short Form (BSRI) and Spiritual Care Competence Scale (SCCS) as the research instruments to measure gender roles and spiritual nursing care competence. Univariate analysis results showed that as much as 42,7% nurses had undifferentiated gender role followed by 39,1% nurses having androgynous gender role; while the median score of SCCS was 107, indicating high competence in spiritual nursing care. Bivariate analysis results showed that there were statistically significant correlations between femininity (r = 0,530, p < 0,001) and masculinity (r = 0,611, p < 0,001) with spiritual nursing care competence and that there was a difference in spiritual nursing care competence between nurses with androgynous and undifferentiated gender roles (p < 0,001). Existing hospitals or health facilities with palliative care for cancer patients should encourage nurses regardless of biological sex to express both gender roles as they correlate positively with spiritual nursing care competence. The next research can explore more regarding each characteristic in each gender role so that there can be more definitive evidence regarding the relationship between gender roles and spiritual nursing care competence."

Objective: To determine the effect of bladder protocol at RSCM to the irradiated bowel volume and acute bowel toxicity in cervical cancer patients underwent external beam radiotherapy. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study on 236 cervical cancer patients who underwent external radiotherapy at IPTOR RSCM in 2019-2021. Subjects were divided into three bladder protocol categories. Patients without bladder protocol (n=84), with 300 - <500 mL bladder protocol (n=85) and with 500 mL bladder protocol (n=67). Normality test using Kolmogorov-Smirnov, mean comparison using Kruskal Wallis and Mann Whittney. Comparison of categorical nominal using chi square. Multivariate analysis using linear regression and logistic regression. Results: Patients without bladder protocol had a smaller bladder volume, which median (min-max) was 83.5 mL (29.2 – 570) compared to those who were given a bladder protocol instruction of 300 - <500 mL which was 91, 5 mL (25.6 – 409.4) and those given 500 mL bladder protocol which median value was 125 mL (15-462) (P=0.014. 95% CI). Bladder protocol also caused more patients to achieve V45 bowel bag <195 mL which was 11.12% compared to those without bladder protocol which was 3,2% (P=0.04). Conclusion: The bladder protocol that has been applied at IPTOR RSCM seems to influence the bladder volume and bowel bag volume but did not show an effect on acute lower gastrointestinal toxicity.

Background: Depressive psychiatric disorders have a high prevalence in cervical cancer patients, about 33 – 71,3% globally. Depression experienced by patients is caused by several factors, including age, sosioeconomic conditions, educational level, and cancer stage itself. Patients with depressive disorder have a higher probability of worsening cancer prognosis. Therefore, it is essential to make an early diagnosis so that intervention can be done. Objectives: To investigate the prevalence of depression symptoms in cervical cancer patients and analyze its risk factors. Methods: This study uses a cross-sectional study design. The sample is obtained by consecutive sampling, and depressive disorders were diagnosed using the MINI ICD-10 questionnaire. Data will be processed using SPSS version 20. Statistical analysis test used in this study are bivariate test using the Chi-Square test and Fisher's exact test, which was then carried out by the multivariate logistic regression test. Results: Of 44 research subjects, 28 patients suffered from depressive disorders. Factors affecting depression, namely age, education, income, and stage, are statistically insignificant (p>0,05). The OR result in the stage cancer variable implies that the advanced stage has a 1,642-fold risk to increase the incidence of depression in cervical cancer patients (OR = 1.642; 95% CI: 0.463 - 5.828). Age above 50 years old, graduated from high school, and monthly income ≥ IDR 2,500,000 are the protective factors against depression. Conclusion: The prevalence of depression in cervical cancer patients is 63,6%. Associated factors such as age, education, monthly income, and cancer stage are statistically insignificant with the incidence of depression in cervical cancer patients"

"Cancer patients are at risk for having drug-related problems (DRPs) as they received concentrated electrolyte. This research aims to acquire characteristic descriptions also identify DRPs and their causes among hospitalized cancer patients receiving concentrated electrolyte in Dharmais Cancer Hospital. This is a descriptive research with cross-sectional design study. Data was collected retrospectively based on patients' prescriptions and laboratory results from January to March 2020 obtained from SIMRS.

ABSTRACT

Capecitabine is one of the most widely used oral chemotherapy drugs and is reported have the same effectiveness as 5 fluorouracil intravenous chemotherapy. However, capecitabine, which is associated with many side effects, and has complicated dosage regiment cycle, have the potential to increase non-adherence medication. This review article aimed to explore the factors that influence the level of adherence among cancer patients using capecitabine as chemotherapy. Electronic searches were performed on databases including PubMed, Sage, Sciencedirect, and Springer based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta Analysis. Seven articles that fit the inclusion criteria were obtained. The results of the review showed that the level of adherence of cancer patients who received capecitabine varied between 76.7% to ≤105%. While the factors that influence the level of adherence were related to side effects, forgetting to take medication, the development of toxicity, decreased quality of life, language barrier, social situations, medication belief, and satisfaction with healthcare providers."

"Objective: The number of gynecological cancer survivors is

increasing in Indonesia, and these women often require physical

and emotional support from their male partners as primary

caregivers. However, the male caregiver`s need for biological,

psychological, and social support is often neglected. This study

aims to assess the demographic and clinical determinants

affecting the unmet supportive care needs of the gynecological

cancer survivors` husbands in Indonesia. Methods: This

cross‑sectional survey involved 152 husbands of survivors who

were recruited by a consecutive sampling method in two national

referral hospitals. A self‑administered Cancer Survivors` Partners

Unmet Needs Questionnaire was used for data collection.

Multiple linear regression was performed to analyze the data.

Results: The majority of participants (97.4%) reported at least one

unmet need. The primary unmet needs were legal services (71.1%),

financial support (70.4%), cancer recurrence concerns (69.7%), and

ongoing health support (66.4%). These needs were significantly

associated with the wife`s radio‑chemotherapy and lower

household income (P < 0.01) and also related to the husband`s

education level, duration of caregiving, and wife`s cancer stage.

Conclusions: Husbands of gynecological cancer survivors in

Indonesia reported a need for legal, financial, and health‑care

information and assistance. Multidisciplinary professionals

should be involved in developing policy and interventions which

facilitate the social‑economic protection of survivors and their

husbands, as well as comprehensive care needs to enhance the

women`s survival rate."
