Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of palliative care on the symptom level assessment and satisfaction of patients diagnosed with cancer. Methods: The study was carried out with 60 cancer patients who received service at a palliative care center (PCC) and 59 cancer patients who received general care services at a public hospital. The effect of the services provided at the 2 hospitals was evaluated using the Edmonton Symptom Assessment System and the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer In-patient Satisfaction with Care Questionnaire. The data were analyzed to determine number and percentage distributions, the significance of differences between 2 peers, and 2-way analysis of variance in repetitive measurements. Results: It was determined that the symptom severity of the PCC patients was greater. In a 1 week interval, greater improvement was observed in all of the symptoms of the patients who received general care, and the evaluation revealed a statistically significant difference between the hospitals in terms of fatigue, nausea, and dyspnea (p<0.05). However, the mean satisfaction of the patients who received services at the PCC was higher, and the difference in the general satisfaction level between hospitals was statistically significant (p<0.05). Conclusion: The palliative care provided to cancer patients at the PCC was less effective in reducing symptom levels compared with the results from patients of general care at a public hospital, but provided greater patient satisfaction.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, kanser tanılı hastalarda palyatif bakım hizmeti almanın, semptom ve memnuniyet düzeyine etkisini değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu araştırma, Palyatif Bakım Merkezi’nde (PBM) hizmet alan 60 ve kamu hastanesinde genel bakım hizmeti alan 59 kanser tanılı hastayla gerçekleştirildi. İki farklı hastanede sunulan hizmetlerin etkisini değerlendirmede; Edmonton Semptom Tanılama Ölçeği ve Avrupa Kanser Tedavisi ve Araştırmaları Organizasyonu Bakım Memnuniyet Ölçeği (EORTC-INPATSAT32) kullanıldı. Veriler, SPSS ve Excel programları kullanılarak; sayı ve yüzde dağılımları, iki eş arasındaki farkın önemlilik testi ve tekrarlı ölçümlerde iki yönlü varyans analizi yöntemleriyle analiz edildi. Bulgular: PBM’de hizmet alan hastaların semptom şiddetlerinin, daha yüksek olduğu belirlendi. Bir hafta ara ile gerçekleştirilen semptom değerlendirilmesinde, hastaneler arasında “yorgunluk, bulantı ve solunum güçlüğü” semptomları açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark olduğu (p<0.05) ve genel bakım hizmeti alan hastaların bütün semptomlarında daha fazla iyileşme gerçekleştiği belirlendi. Ancak, PBM’de hizmet alan hastaların ortalama memnuniyet düzeyinin daha yüksek seviyede olduğu ve hastaneler arasındaki genel memnuniyet düzeyi farkının istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu bulundu (p<0.05). Sonuç: Kanser hastaları açısından, PBM’de palyatif bakım alınması, bir kamu hastanesinde genel bakım hizmeti almaya kıyasla, semptom seviyelerinin azaltılmasında daha az etkilidir, ancak daha yüksek hasta memnuniyeti sağlamaktadır.
