Optimal Care

BACKGROUND: Needs assessment of patients with advanced cancer (ACPs) is essential for optimal care. This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Needs Evaluation Questionnaire (NEQ) and assessed the supportive care needs of hospitalized ACPs with solid tumors.METHODS: The validated Greek version of the NEQ along with demographic and clinical data of 95 consecutive breast, colon and lung ACPs hospitalized in the University Hospital of Heraklion, Crete, Greece, were used to assess their supportive care needs. The NEQ score was subsequently rescaled to 0-100.RESULTS: NEQ displayed adequate psychometric properties in validity and reliability tests. The average number of needs reported was 8.4(4.1). Female and younger patients reported a higher score of unmet needs than their male (40.3 versus 30.0, p=0.005) and elder (40.1 versus 29.2, p=0.001) counterparts. Patients reported higher needs in receiving information about their future (73.7%), treatments (56.8%), examinations (51.6%) and for the need "to speak with people who had the same experience" (53.7%). In contrast, lower scores were observed in the assistance and treatments needs regarding intimacy (11.6%), "better attention from nurses" (15.8%), "more help with eating, dressing, and going to the bathroom" (18.9%). Lung ACPs reported more assistance and treatment needs than colon and breast ACPs (p<0.05).CONCLUSIONS: ACPs reported many unmet needs, mainly informational, that were related to gender, age, and type of cancer. NEQ is a useful tool in everyday clinical practice for obtaining information for supportive care needs. Health care personnel has to address these needs for implementing effective patient-centered care.

UNSTRUCTURED It has been reported that the incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection is higher in patients with cancer than in the general population and that patients with cancer are at an increased risk of developing severe life-threatening complications from COVID-19. Increased transmission and poor outcomes noted in emerging data on patients with cancer and COVID-19 call for aggressive isolation and minimization of nosocomial exposure. Palliative care and oncology providers are posed with unique challenges due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Telepalliative care is the use of telehealth services for remotely delivering palliative care to patients through videoconferencing, telephonic communication, or remote symptom monitoring. It offers great promise in addressing the palliative and supportive care needs of patients with advanced cancer during the ongoing pandemic. We discuss the case of a 75-year-old woman who was initiated on second-line chemotherapy, to highlight how innovations in technology and telehealth-based interventions can be used to address patients’ palliative and supportive care needs in the ongoing epidemic.
