Breast Cancer Survivorship: the Role of Rehabilitation According to the International Classification of Functioning Disability and Health—a Scoping Review

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Purpose of Review The population of breast cancer (BC) survivors is growing due to earlier diagnosis and effective combined treatments. A scoping review was performed to explore the role of rehabilitation in BC survivorship and the major issues in BC survivors with International Classification of Functioning Disability and Health (ICF) perspective. Recent Findings The authors searched PubMed from January 1, 2018, up until November 9, 2021. The 65 selected publications were analyzed with the Comprehensive ICF BC Core Set (CCS) perspective and assigned to the categories of the CCS components along with the 3 areas of health (physical, mental, and social health). The multidimensional aspects of BC survivor disability are evident, whereas the topics of the articles concern several categories of the ICF BC CCS and all 3 areas of health. However, the current ICF BC CCS does not include certain categories related to emerging issues of BC survivorship recurring in the papers. Summary Rehabilitation is crucial in BC survivorship management to give personalized answers to women beyond BC, and the ICF BC CCS remains an essential tool in rehabilitation assessment for BC survivors although it needs updating.

“…For investigating community-linked experience, additional questions were asked about the services they linked, and the responses were subdivided into four categories: emotional, practical, financial and information, based on advice from Macmillan Cancer Support [ 18 ]. In addition, questions about the difficulties of community linkage were added [ 19 , 20 , 21 ]. The questions asked about the need for community-linked resources for discharged patients, such as meals, traffic, isolation, care, employment, utility bills, housing, and information, referring to the scale of the unfulfilled need screening survey for discharged patients at the National Cancer Center, based on the ‘Social Determinants of Health Tool’ [ 22 ].…”

This study aimed to examine the awareness and status of cancer patients and healthcare providers (physicians, nurses and social workers) regarding community linkage, in order to establish a desirable care plan model in a future research project. The survey was conducted via two methods: face-to-face for cancer patients (n = 308) and oncology physicians (n = 210), and due to COVID-19 circumstances, online for nurses (n = 200) and social workers (n = 313). As a result, more than 95% of the healthcare providers responded that cancer patients required community-linked services and discharge plans, whereas 50.7% and 79.2% of cancer patients noted the importance of community-linked services and discharge plans, respectively. Social workers, among healthcare providers, showed the most positive experience about connecting patients to community services since 69.7% of them responded as “excellent”. However, as a group, cancer patients considered the necessity of community-linked service as less important, as only 50.7% responded as agreeing it was necessary. The barriers to community linkage were the lack of communication among the different professions of healthcare providers, and the ambiguity in their roles. The findings of this study will inform future community-linked health research, policies and systems for cancer patients. In particular, an in-depth interview with cancer patients will be required to explore their lack of acknowledgment about the necessity of community-linked services. Therefore, this study is expected to contribute to the improvement and supplementation of cancer policies.

“…Several areas of interventions used with other populations may have potential relevance for the older adult survivor cohort and could be considered for future program design and implementation. Lay Navigation [ 80 ], nurse coordination models [ 74 ], home telehealth [ 74 , 76 ], use of survivorship care plans [ 81 , 82 ], and active involvement of caregivers/partners in care planning [ 83 , 84 ] could be explored given the interventions were designed with the unique needs of older survivors in mind.…”

Challenges of Survivorship for Older Adults Diagnosed with Cancer

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Purpose of Review The purpose of this brief review is to highlight significant recent developments in survivorship research and care of older adults following cancer treatment. The aim is to provide insight into care and support needs of older adults during cancer survivorship as well as directions for future research. Recent Findings The numbers of older adult cancer survivors are increasing globally. Increased attention to the interaction between age-related and cancer-related concerns before, during, and after cancer treatment is needed to optimize outcomes and quality of life among older adult survivors. Issues of concern to older survivors, and ones associated with quality of life, include physical and cognitive functioning and emotional well-being. Maintaining activities of daily living, given limitations imposed by cancer treatment and other comorbidities, is of primary importance to older survivors. Evidence concerning the influence of income and rurality, experiences in care coordination and accessing services, and effectiveness of interventions remains scant for older adults during survivorship. Summary There is a clear need for further research relating to tailored intervention and health care provider knowledge and education. Emerging issues, such as the use of medical assistance in dying, must be considered in this population.
