Cancer Early Detection

Background: Reported in Lampung Province, the prevalence of breast cancer cases has increased from 0.02% in 2010 to 0.7% in 2013. There were 1.030 cases. Two, Districts with the largest cases of breast cancer are west Lampung  (10%) and Pringsewu (9.8%).Purpose: To knowing the effectiveness of a nurse-delivered breast health promotion models on breast cancer early detection behaviors among women of childbearing period age.Methods: A quantitative study, the population were women of childbearing period age, and samples comprise 120 participant divided in four groups in each group consist 30 participant. 90 participant as intervention group and 30 participant as control group.  Independent t test was used in data analysis.Results: Shows there was no effect of education face to face with the booklet media and education face to face with the detection media cards, but there is a different result with education face to face with the combination of booklet and detection cards (p=0.004 mean difference= 0.767) on the behavior of early detection of breast cancer.Conclusion: The health practitioners should provide booklets together with the provision detection card to carry out routinely in preventive efforts. The study also recommends further research on active networking efforts and the efforts of palliative care for those diagnosed with breast cancer.

Background: To investigate the effect of perceptual stress reduction control intervention on the level of symptomatic groups at different time points in breast cancer. Methods: A total of 124 breast cancer patients were divided into intervention group and control group, 62 cases in each group. Perioperative nursing and chemotherapy nursing were given to the control group, and the intervention group was given the interventional stress reduction control intervention. The level of symptom clusters of different time points were compared between the two groups. Results: The incidence and severity of myelosuppression in the intervention group were slightly lower than those in the control group. The adverse reactions of bone marrow suppression at T3 were much lower than those in the control group, and the differences were significant (P=0.003, P=0.043). The control group had higher incidence and more severe symptoms of nausea, vomiting and diarrhea than the intervention group (P=0.002, P=0.042). The symptoms of breast pain and swelling at T1 in the intervention group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P=0.000, P=0.000). There was no significant difference in breast symptoms between the two groups at T2 and T3 (p>0.05). At the time of T2 and T3 of chemotherapy, the health promotion behavior scores of the intervention group were higher than the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (PT2=0.000, PT3=0.000). Conclusion: Perceptual stress reduction control intervention can effectively relieve bone marrow suppression, digestive tract discomfort and breast symptoms, and promote health promotion behavior.

Purpose To assess and develop solutions for an ultrasound-based breast cancer early detection program in rural South Africa 1 year after implementation. Methods A WHO-endorsed RAD-AID Radiology Readiness Assessment was used to evaluate clinic resources. In addition, 5 weeks of observation identified resource deficiencies and reviewed existing documentation methods. On the basis of stakeholders’ input and the BI-RADS, we developed new documentation systems. Training was followed by a survey that assessed feasibility and provider acceptance. Results Resource limitations included lack of computers, unpredictable electrical supply, and inconsistent Internet. The assessment revealed incomplete documentation of breast clinical examinations and history, breast lesions, and follow-up. Furthermore, limitations negatively affected communication among providers. Three solutions were developed: a paper patient history form, a paper clinical findings form, and a computerized patient-tracking data base compliant with BI-RADS. Three nurses, three nursing assistants, and one counselor completed the survey. Seventy-one percent indicated positive general attitudes, and 100% agreed that the documentation system is easy and useful and improves overall quality of care, follow-up, decision making; access to clinical information; and communication between clinicians and patients. Five of the seven providers reported that the system increased visit time, but three of those five believed that the process was valuable. Conclusion Implementation of a breast cancer early detection program in resource-limited regions is challenging, and continual assessment is essential. As a result of identified needs, we developed a documentation system that was broadly accepted. Future steps should focus on increasing efficiency, evaluation of provider attitudes long term, and clinical effect.

A program based on cognitive behavioral therapy was developed for Japanese junior high school students aged 12–15 years. It consists of a single 50-minute session that targets a reduction in irrational beliefs, which is related to the improvement of psychological distress, such as anxiety and depression. The students were assigned to an intervention group (n = 238) and a control group (n = 277); the latter received an assertiveness training program. Students completed questionnaires including scales addressing irrational beliefs and self-esteem at pre- and post-program. The results revealed that, despite its short length, the OKS program significantly reduced irrational beliefs in the intervention group, in comparison to the control group. Moreover, both programs increased self-esteem. These findings imply the feasibility of a single-session universal mental health promotion program in Japanese schools.
