“…In Studien wurde der Vorteil eines fallbezogenen Managements (Case-Management) durch begleitende professionelle Steuerung des Behandlungs-und Nachversorgungsverlaufs für den Patienten belegt [1293]. Wie aktuelle systematische Übersichten belegen, kann die Versorgungskontinuität insbesondere durch pflegerische Interventionen optimiert werden [1294,1295]. Durch multiprofessionelle Steuerung des Behandlungs-und Nachsorgeverlaufs kann eine verbesserte Symptomkontrolle, eine erhöhte Leitlinientreue, eine verbesserte Patientenzufriedenheit und höhere gesundheitsbezogene Lebensqualität erzielt werden [1293 -1296].…”

“…selbst in die Hand nehmen können [1297,1298]. Dies kann durch einfache Maßnah-men wie telefonisches "Follow up", schriftliches Informationsmaterial, das Führen eines Patiententagebuchs mit integrierter Ergebniskontrolle ("Patient Reported Outcomes", PRO) unterstützt werden [1293,1295,1296,1299]. Bei der Umsetzung dieser Maßnahmen kommt den Krebs-Beratungsstellen sowie den Selbsthilfegruppen eine wichtige Rolle zu.…”

“…However, factors or characteristics that may impact the need of supportive care within this patient group needs to be further explored. Nurse-led models of supportive care have been shown within other cancer settings, to have the potential to reduce unmet supportive care needs, improve continuity of care and improve health-related quality of life of patients with cancer (Howell et al, 2008). Within this patient group there are studies concerning supportive care programmes and nurse-led follow-up focusing on the role of a specials nurse (Viklund et al, 2006b) or the effect on quality of life and costs (Verschuur et al, 2009).…”

Purpose: To illuminate patients' experiences of supportive care from a long-term perspective after oesophagectomy or oesofagogastrectomy for cancer.Method: Data collection was carried out using semi-structured focus-group interviews.Seventeen patients were included in the study, divided into 4 focus groups. Data was analysed with conventional qualitative content analysis. Results:The patients' experiences of supportive care were captured in the theme "The need for a guiding light in the new life situation" and it was shown that support from the health care system as well as from the social network was experienced as important. The patients need support that starts at the hospital and that continues throughout the transition to outpatient care. This support should focus on developing a plan for the future and on providing the patients with information that will enable them to understand their new life situation. Conclusion:The findings indicated that the patients need a plan for the future, help in navigating the healthcare system and the provision of clear and honest information as well as a healthcare system that better overarches the gap between in and out-patient care. This suggests the need of developing and testing a supportive care programme that is designed according to the patients' needs and with focus on the potential to enhance the patients QOL after this life-changing surgery.

“…The articles in this issue highlight the importance of understanding cancer survivors' needs and developing programs that help survivors manage symptoms or provide support for survivors who are experiencing functional impairments or mental health problems. Use of dedicated patient navigators who have backgrounds in social work and/or nursing has been shown to improve symptom management, reduce use of emergency services, and improve quality of life [20][21][22]. Access to mental health services and support groups can also have positive effects on the patient experience and on the patient's ability to participate in activities and work [23][24][25].…”
