Abstract:

Cancer is still a less understood disease, as cancer treatment takes place around the world without clear understanding of how cancer develops. This is mainly due to the limitation of the science that guides the medical research studies, which restricts the parameters of scientific research to the physical plane alone. Living phenomena is not only composed of the physical body, but also the dynamic components-the mind and vital force. But these dynamic components are in the energy plane, so its existence is not tangible. Hence, the role of these entities and its influence in the functioning of the physical body is never scientifically understood and explored in the treatment process-to understand how diseases develop and utilizing them in the cure of the diseases. Dynamic science is a new set of hypotheses, introduced by this author that explain in modern scientific perspective-how mind, vital force and DNA, that regulates the cell multiplication, are interconnected. This is an important discovery that helps in understanding holistically how cancer develops and in identifying and rectifying the root causes that produce the cancer from all possible dimensions. These are very important requisites to design a solution or treatment to produce a complete cure of cancer and other chronic diseases, if within the reversible limits. Inductive logical analysis of cancer gives a clear understanding about the origin of cancer. With the understanding of how cancer develops, the reversal of the cancer-cure, become very simple and easier. This is the process applied in the DSA natural cancer treatment methodology. Dynamic science based holistic understanding of how mind, vital force (soul) and DNA are interconnected, helps in understanding how cancer develops and the root causes that produce cancer from all possible dimensions. Identification and rectification of the root causes of cancer along with natural medicines and judicious application of surgery are very important components of DSA natural cancer treatment methodology that can produce possible complete cure of cancer, if within the reversible limits and is believed to be the best, latest and safest natural cancer treatment.

Yingqi Xiao is pursuing PhD in Nursing at Sichuan University in China. Her research focuses on nursing education and clinical nursing. She has published 10 papers in reputed journals.

Abstract:

Background: Master of nursing is higher level of nursing education containing two types, professional degree and scientific degree. In China, instructional mode of professional degree follows scientific degree steps, especially clinical practice. Thus, establishing a systematic pattern of clinical practice is warranted.

Method: A two-round Delphi study via e-mail correspondence was conducted, with a group of 34 Chinese experts in the first round. The Delphi questionnaire consisted of 10 first-level items, 63 second-level items and 105 third-level items, which identified from literature review and previous semi-structured interview. Experts rated and scored the importance of items and the degree of attention given by researchers to each of the variables listed on a five-point Likert scale. Experts modified and deleted items in questionnaire and added other non-display items. Critical value method was used to select items. We used positive coefficient and authority coefficient of experts to get the weight coefficient. Furthermore, to confirm the level of consensus, we also analyzed the degree of expert’s authority and coordination.

 

Result: The response rates in two rounds were 100.0% (n=34) and 88.2% (n=30), respectively. Experts group coefficient was 0.909. All the items reached two rounds with a consensus level. The coefficient of variation was down to between 0 to 0.237 in the second round from between 0 to 0.389 in the first round. The two rounds co-operation index are 0.397 and 0.339, respectively, fluctuating in the range of 0.3~0.5. After modified, the Delphi questionnaire in the second round had 10 first-level items, 55 second-level items and 74 third-level items.

Conclusion: The study constructed a clinical practice pattern for the incorporated education of master of nursing specialist and specialist nurse, including 10 first-level items, 55 second-level items and 74 third-level items. The expert’s representativeness was better and experts had highly motivated. The variable coefficient of index was low, both cooperation index and the degree of authority were high. The study has high scientificity and reliability. The pattern could provide reference to some areas΄ nursing school in some degree.

Abstract:

SANITAS Hospital is a 30-beds Private Hospital in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania (East Africa), founded by Murthy, an Australian citizen of Indian origin. Tanzania has a population of about 50 million people out of which there are roughly 50,000 known cases of cancer each year. Of that, only about 13,000 seek help in hospitals; the majority making it to the hospitals only when their cancer is in an advanced stage. This figure could include a few cases from neighboring nations who come here for treatment. A large number of Tanzanian patients seek help from traditional healers. Only two Public hospitals all over Tanzania offer Chemotherapy, Radiotherapy and Surgical Oncology. SANITAS HOSPITAL offers the Chemotherapy and Surgical Oncology. Although chemotherapy is available, there is always shortage of drugs. By the end of this year SANITAS HOSPITAL plans to become a 60-beds hospital with state of the art ICU and modular theatres where complex surgical procedures can be undertaken. Presently such procedures are largely sent to India. Once this is established, SANITAS would have a bigger role to play in the treatment of cancer.

Statement of the Problem: Caregivers to individuals affected with cancer have so many needs, a great number of these needs have remained unmet, less have been understood about the specific nature of these needs or its association with caregiver burden, health related quality of life and cancer related distress. The aims of conducting this study were to identify the unmet needs of cancer caregivers and examine the relationships between unmet needs and caregiver burden, quality of life and distress. Various researchers have reported that individuals caring for cancer patients have so many unmet needs that have been left unattended and this reduces their productivity in caring for patients.

Method: A phenomenological study using interview method of gathering data was utilized the study. A phenomenological framework was utilized to focus on the lived experience of cancer caregiver burden and their unmet needs.

Findings: The participants in this study were oncology caregivers in active service who encountered many burdens as they cared for their patients. They encountered anxiety, depression, financial problems, fatigue, sleep disturbances and social role dysfunction. Understanding the patient's disease, self-care, quality of life and financial matters were identified as areas of elevated need for support.

Conclusion: The needs of a caregiver in cancer management are all encompassing and can positively or negatively affect their attitude to work and quality of life, therefore attention should be paid to caregivers problems, caregivers in the area of oncology should be switched to other departments once in a while and financial remunerations should also be given in such a way that is in sync with what they do. Caregivers desire support across a variety of physical, emotional and practical aspects of life, all that should be provided to them for effective continuity of care.

The final effective data were 136 people in the experimental group and 27 people in the control group, a total of 212 people. After the intervention, there were statistically significant differences in anxiety and depression between the significance-centered group psychotherapy group and the general health education group (P<0.001). There were statistically significant differences in the total score of sense of life significance, sense of meaning and sense of seeking meaning (P<0.001). There was no significant difference in body function, dyspnea, diarrhea, constipation, decreased appetite, economic difficulties, fatigue, nausea and vomiting. There were statistically significant differences in role function, social function, emotional function, sleep disorders, and pain (P<0.001), but no statistically significant difference of overall quality of life of lung cancer patients.

Conclusion: Meaning-centered group psychotherapy can improve the anxiety and depression of lung cancer patients, promote lung cancer patients to seek and have a sense of life significance, improve the quality of life of lung cancer patients in psychological and social dimensions and some physiological indicators significantly, but for the majority of physiological indexes (such as: breathing difficulties, diarrhea, constipation, loss of appetite, etc.) the effect is not obvious.
