Concept Analysis Of Satisfaction For Breast Cancer Patients

The concepts of the comfort theory are clearly defined and the relationships are easily understood. This theory is simple and basic to nursing care. The taxonomic structure of comfort facilitates researchers’ development of comfort instruments for new settings (Kolcaba,1991).The first assertion of the theory stating that effective comfort interventions leads to increased comfort for patients , has been tested and supported with women with breast cancer (Kolcaba & Fox, 1999), persons with UI (Dowd, Kolcaba, & Steiner, 2000), persons in hospice (Kolcaba, Dowd, Steiner, & Mitzel, 2004). And stressed college students (Dowd, Kolcaba, Steiner, & Fashinapaur, 2007). Also, the second assertion was supported in the UI study, when patients with enhanced comfort showed increased HSBs.

The effect of a nursing intervention on promoting self-care ability in breast cancer patients after breast surgery

The author undertook an electronic search were used to collect the literature. Three electronic databases were used; Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Medline and PsychInfo. These three databases were chosen as they are often used by nurses, allied health professionals, researchers, students and nurse educators to research their subject area (Aveyard, 2014).

patient and family satisfaction could go a long way to advance the quality of patient care throughout the hospital.

The purpose of a systematic review is to attempt to find, evaluate and synthesize high quality research relevant to the research question. A systematic review uses carefully developed data collection and sampling procedures that are put in place in advance as a protocol. (Polit, 2012). A systematic review must contain the following: a clear inclusion and exclusion criteria, an explicit search strategy, systematic coding and analysis of included studies, and a meta-analysis if possible. (Hemingway & Brereton, 2009). Systematic reviews are conducted by nurse researchers to avoid reaching incorrect or misleading conclusions that

The gaps that show areas of improvement are of the nurse’s perceived service and the patient’s perceived experience based on the patient’s expectations (Dabney and Tzang 2013). A patient’s expectations are modeled by past experiences, culture, personal needs, and word of mouth from other patient experiences. If a provider does not implement a patient-centered approach to patient care the patient’s needs cannot be met due to the gap in patient expectations and perceived service (Dabney and Tzang 2013).

I agree that valuing the satisfaction of clients and providing, validating information and care contributes to the positive experience of client within health facilities. Because if there is a limited access of care to clients, especially when they were waiting in an emergency or the surgery ward for a long period of time. They become anxious and frustrated as they are people just like us. on top of that the limited information provided to families and patients causes them to become uncertain about the plan of treatment. therefore, perceive that they have no control within the health facility and feel unvalued.

“Patient outcomes become the ultimate measure of quality as they reflect the influence of both structure and process of care” (Stanik-Hutt et al., 2013, p. 492). The use of patient satisfaction tools is routine in healthcare facilities. What actually do the results of patient satisfaction surveys tell us about the quality of nursing care? The results of patient satisfaction are used to better understand what can be done in the future to improve the patient care outcome, ultimately achieving the most desireable outcome. It is essential to know exactly how APRNs contribute to the quality, safety, and effectiveness of healthcare so that they may be utilized to the best of their abilities to provide evidence based

The purpose of this paper is to provide future healthcare administrators with the comprehensive understanding of patient’s perception in real health care setting. It is important to understand your customers and their point of views regarding their experiences in the current healthcare system. Understanding your patients will help you not only to provide efficient quality care but also to exceed customers expectations. I chose to share Patient A’s experience because she was first referred to a medical oncologist by her primary care doctor. She underwent bilateral mastectomy and ongoing radiation therapy. Patient A was in Hospital A for three days and was discharged afterwards. Patient A dealt with wide range of health care professionals,

A second nursing-sensitive indicator that was clearly overlooked was patient satisfaction with overall care. Defined by the ANA, this is a measure of patient

I will methodically analyze all parts of the study to assess the validity of the article, by contrasting and comparing the information provided, with previous literature. I will try to make sure that recommendations provided by the authors are congruous with nursing practice and beneficial to the advancement of it. I will as much as possible provide in depth detail of previous studies on the same topic that either support or contradict the analysis provided by this study and its authors.

For nurses, the workload and patient assignments are the most significant factors in their perception of their ability to provide quality care to their patients. Of course, this is directly related to nursing job satisfaction. Nursing is a career in which patient satisfaction and caregiver satisfaction go hand in hand. When the nurse is happy, he or she provides high quality care to the patient, which in turn makes the patient happy. In addition, when the patient is pleased with the care they are receiving, this makes the nurse happy and improves nurse job satisfaction.

that directs human behavior.4 Patients have implicit and explicit comfort needs that, when met, strengthen them and motivate them to perform better in therapy, rehabilitation, and learning/adhering to new health regimens.2 Second, needs are a force that is driven by social and cultural politics.4 Patient comfort needs are driven by expectations, and patients

While the completion of treatment is excitedly anticipated, many cancer survivors would still be disturbed by the emotional and physical tribulation of their breast cancer trajectory (Surbone & Peccatori, 2006). This is because, the impact of cancer remains long even after treatment ended. Besides the common issues that accompany any cancer diagnosis, breast cancer survivors also have to deal with exclusive concerns such as decreased sexual function, relationship issues, fears about genetic inheritability of cancer and complications from this disease such as lymphedema (Hodgkinson, Butow, Fuchs, et al., 2007). Therefore, the completion of treatment does not equate to lesser need for health care. Long term health issues related to breast cancer survivors have thus emerged as a public health concern.
