“…34 The high number of hours worked by nurses, the insufficient number of working nurses, and the consequent inadequate number of nurses per patient make this study finding not surprising; nurse-to-patient ratios and the number of beds are important indices in nursing recruitment. 2 In addition to these measurements, attention needs to be given to patients with cancer, which may be especially difficult to meet by overworked nurses.…”

BackgroundCancer is a chronic disease that leads to major life changes for individuals because it affects physical, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects. It is important that nursing care is able to respond to different individual needs regarding the challenges experienced by cancer patients.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the concept of individualized care as perceived by oncology patients and nurses working in oncology clinics.MethodsThis descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted at a medical oncology clinic in Turkey. Participants were oncology nurses (n = 23) and cancer patients (n = 180) discharged after treatment. The data were collected using the Patient-Nurse Identification Form, Individualized Care Scale (ICS-A, ICS-B), and Individualized Care Scale-Nurse.ResultsNurses’ perceptions of individualized care were more positive than those of patients. Patients’ age, marital status, education level, income level, and disease characteristics did not have an effect on their awareness of interventions supporting their individuality or on their perceptions of individualized care. More years of employment in the nursing profession and in oncology had a positive effect on individualization of patient care.ConclusionPerceptual differences between patients and nurses exist; individualized care plans may be needed to minimize the differences.Implications for PracticeThese study outcomes can guide individualized care for cancer patients.

“…Furthermore, the incidence of complications can be reduced, and the length of hospital stay can be shortened by nursing patients' complications, preventing postoperative infection, regularly assisting turning over, and assisting sputum discharge by tapping on the back. In previous studies [15][16][17][18], the application of individualized nursing in cancer and acute myocardial infarction was introduced, but the application effect of this method in patients with TMD was not used. Herein, in this research, we aimed to individualize nursing carried out for TMD and to evaluate the effect of this nursing on patients' rehabilitation.…”

Objective. This study aimed to explore the effects of individualized nursing in patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Methods. From June 2019 to April 2021, 80 patients with TMD were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University. Among them, 40 patients (control group, CG) received routine nursing and 40 patients (experimental group, EG) received individualized nursing. Functional exercise compliance, pain score, maximum mouth opening, nursing satisfaction questionnaire, self-rating anxiety scale, and self-rating depression scale were investigated. Results. From June 2019 to April 2021, 81 patients with TMD were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University. Among them, 40 patients (control group) received routine care and 41 patients (experimental group) received individual care. There were no significant differences in mouth opening and pain score between the two groups before surgery P > 0.05 , but there were significant differences in mouth opening and pain score between the two groups 3 weeks after surgery. Patients’ anxiety and depression were assessed by the SAS and SDS scores. Before nursing, the control group and experimental group P < 0.05 had no significant difference. After nursing, the score of both groups decreased P < 0.05 . However, the score was lower in the experimental group, compared to the control group P < 0.01 . Conclusion. In summary, individualized nursing can improve patients’ physical condition and reduce negative emotions and complications. In light of this, the study needs further verification by a large sample randomized controlled trial.

Objectives: to build and validate a data collection instrument for onco-hematological patients undergoing outpatient chemotherapy. Methods: methodological study that aimed to build a scientifically consistent data collection instrument to evaluate hematological patients. There were five stages: identification of empirical indicators, evaluation of empirical indicators by focus group, construction of the instrument, content validation by judges and clinical validation. Built based on the Theory of Basic Human Needs of Horta, adjusted by Garcias and Cubas. Results: the built instrument contains data on patient identification, perception and expectations related to the disease, assessment of psychobiological, psychosocial and psychospiritual needs. It reached 95% CVI, ensuring the instrument’s content validity and Cronbach’s alpha test with a reliability of 0.93. Conclusions: the instrument is a valid technology to assist nurses in data collection and may serve as a tool for onco-hematological nursing care, teaching and research.
