“…16 Therefore, it is extremely important to routinely assess the nutritional status of women with BC with easily obtainable anthropometric measures such as BMI and AC. 4 Female BCS face approximately twice the risk of death due to CVD and other chronic diseases than age-matched women with no cancer history. 20 In this study, we observed that almost half of our sample (45%) of BCS were diagnosed with MS.…”

“…10 Another study, also performed with women with BC, reported that 69.2% of post-menopausal women had MS and 53.8% had advanced cancer stages, demonstrating that MS could influence a worsening of the BC prognosis. 4 In a prospective study with 2092 patients followed-up due to BC, MS was significantly associated with menopause, HOMA-IR index, HC, and hypertension. 21 This corroborates findings from this study, where our logistic regression (Table 4) identified a higher risk of developing MS in women with increased HC.…”

“…One of these population studies found a MS prevalence of 29.8% in adults (95% confidence interval [CI]). 4 In a study performed with 50 women with BC aged between 40 and 80 years and 50 age-matched controls, the prevalence of MS was 40.0% among patients with BC and 18.0% in the control group (P = 0.02). A positive independent association was observed between MS and risk of BC (odds ratio [OR] = 3.037; 95% CI 1.214-7.597).…”

“…3 Among various neoplasm types, breast cancer (BC) is the one that affects women the most each year, being responsible for 23% (1 380 000) of all new cancer cases and 14% (458 400) of all deaths due to cancer. 4 The number of long-term cancer survivors is increasing. A better organization of cancer care, more effective treatment options, and evidence-based tumor-specific protocols are factors that have contributed to this increase.…”

Cancer represents the second main cause of death worldwide, behind only cardiovascular diseases (CVD). 1 Projections for 2030 expect around 24 million cases of cancer and 14.6 million deaths. 2 This disease represents a global health challenge that has been increasing in low-and middle-income countries with the globalization of the economy and lifestyles. 3 Among various neoplasm types, breast cancer (BC) is the one that affects women the most each year, being responsible for 23% (1 380 000) of all new cancer cases and 14% (458 400) of all deaths due to cancer. 4 The number of long-term cancer survivors is increasing. A better organization of cancer care, more effective treatment options, and evidence-based tumor-specific protocols are factors that have contributed to this increase. [5][6][7] However, 2 out of 3 cancer survivors are prone to suffering from complications in the long term. 8 A wide spectrum of late adverse effects such as CVD, diabetes, dyslipidemia, arterial hypertension, osteoporosis, and metabolic syndrome (MS) components are likely to develop among cancer survivors. For this reason, it is important to design appropriate health management strategies for these patients. 7,[9][10]

“…Metabolic syndrome (MetS), a cluster of specific risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD), is a growing worldwide epidemic (Mialich et al, ). Previous studies have shown that MetS is prevalent in 26%–55% of cancer survivors (De Haas et al, ), and their risk of MetS is 1.6–4.4 times higher than that in the general population (Jung, Myung, Kim, & Seo, ; Kim, Kim, Lim, Kim, & Park, ).…”

Oncology nurses’ knowledge and awareness on metabolic syndrome in cancer survivors and the perceived barriers to the provision of related care: A mixed‐method study

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Objective To identify oncology nurses’ level of knowledge and awareness of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in cancer survivors and the perceived barriers to the provision of MetS‐related care. Methods In this mixed‐method study, 196 participants responded to a structured modified questionnaire that included items pertaining to MetS‐related knowledge and awareness. Concurrently, 24 semi‐structured interviews were conducted. A qualitative survey and quantitative interview were conducted between October 2018 and December 2018. Results While oncology nurses had a high level of knowledge of MetS in terms of its individual components, they failed to accurately differentiate MetS cases from non‐MetS ones. Further, they showed a high level of awareness of MetS‐related care for cancer survivors but did not apply their knowledge in clinical settings. In the qualitative survey, the nurses cited various factors pertaining to their perceived barriers to the provision of MetS‐related care, including the fact that cancer survivors are distinguished by the specificity of the subject and inpatient environmental constraints. Conclusions Oncology nurses had a high level of knowledge of MetS but failed to accurately identify MetS cases. Thus, their level of knowledge should be improved, and strategies are needed to overcome the perceived barriers to the provision of MetS‐related care.
