Abstract

The delivery of psychosocial support to patients and families is challenging in the acute cancer setting. To meet their needs, we developed Acute Cancer Cognitive Therapy (ACCT), an approach that applies traditional cognitive therapy (CT) techniques to this setting. We assessed the feasibility and impact of a six-hour web-based ACCT training for professionals working in psychosocial oncology. Learners were recruited in person at psycho-oncology lectures, workshops, and conferences and through social media channels. One hundred and thirty professionals completed the application, and 46 learners completed all training requirements. Descriptive statistics were used to characterize the sample of applicants and learners, and a paired-samples t-test compared learners’ scores on pre-and-post assessments of ACCT knowledge. Learners were predominantly female (n = 40, 86.9%), white (n = 42, 91.3%), and trained in the disciplines of social work (n = 17, 36.9%) or psychology (n = 17, 36.9%). Post-training scores were significantly higher than baseline, averaging a 19.78-point increase. These results support the feasibility and positive impact of using this web-based training to teach ACCT. Future studies will evaluate alternative approaches to retention, multi-cultural applicability, broader dissemination and the extent and durability of skill acquisition using multimodal longitudinal models of assessment.

Neu im Fachgebiet Onkologie

Die aktuelle S3-Leitlinie zu CLL strotzt vor Neuerungen

Vor kurzem wurde eine neue, grundlegend überarbeite Version der S3-Leitlinie Chronische Lymphatische Leukämie (CLL) veröffentlicht.  Zu den wichtigsten Änderungen gehört, dass die Chemoimmuntherapie auf dem Rückzug ist.

Gluteuslappen nach Rektumkarzinom-Op. schützt vor Abszessen

Die Wunddeckung mit einem autologen Rotationslappen nach Entfernung eines Rektumkarzinoms konnte in einer randomisierten Studie gegenüber dem primären Wundverschluss vor allem in einer Hinsicht punkten: Sie führte deutlich seltener zu präsakralen Abszessen.

Wechsel von Zugangsroute und Biopsiesteuerung: Erfahrungen eines Zentrums

Geht der Switch zur transperinealen gezielten Prostatabiopsie auf Kosten der diagnostischen Qualität? Nein, urteilen norwegische Urologinnen und Urologen nach Durchsicht von Daten aus ihrer Einrichtung.

Warum werden Hodenprothesen so selten angeboten?

Forschende aus Großbritannien haben untersucht, wie häufig eine Hodenprothese bei krebsbedingter radikaler Orchidektomie angeboten wird. Vor allem die Gründe, warum kein Implantat zur Wahl gestellt wird, sind erstaunlich.
