Abstract

Introduction: Lung cancer is highly prevalent and the major cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide.  Severity of weight loss has been shown to have a negative impact on patients’ performance and quality of life.  Early detection of anorexia and decline of functional capacity will be very usefull to prevent severe weight loss and a better prognosis. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted in Dharmais Cancer Hospital.  Subjects were lung cancer patients newly diagnosed or a minimal of 2 months pasca chemotherapy or radiotherapy, taken consecutively from inpatients and outpatients.  Results: Subjects eligible for the study were 47, with a composition of 55.3% men and 44.7% women in the age range from 36–79 years old. There were significant relationship between body weight and BMI with ECOG score. Body weight, BMI  and weight loss related significantly with VAS appetite and SNAQ score.  These result indicate that subjects with a higher BMI and a lower weight loss have a better physical performa and appetite.  There were significant relation between haemoglobin level, anemia status and serum albumin level with appetite and risk for anorexia. This result indicate that subjects with normal haemoglobin  and albumin have a good appetite and a lower risk for anorexia.  Conclusions: Positive prognosis of cancer patients can be obtained by maintaining BMI and preventing weight loss, since both affected the already known prognostic marker functional capacity significantly.  Serum Albumin and hemoglobin are not only simple test, but also brings benefits, a clinical marker that may be used to assess the risk of anorexia.

Abstract

This article shows that an integrated and compatible independent nursing intervention model approach is important to be able to hope of providing a strong theoretical basis for nurses on improving the wellbeing of acute coronary syndrome patients through a conceptual model of integrated nursing interventions during treatment in the hospital. The purpose of this article is to present a simple theoretical construction using a 7-step approach which includes: origin, meaning, logical adequacy, usefulness, generaliability and parsimony as well as testability, about integrative nursing intervention theory in providing comfort to improve patient well being. This type of research is a development research model with a simple theory construction model approach. The problems faced by patients with acute coronary syndrome most often are chest pain, anxiety and hemodynamics which can interfere the patient's well-being. Chest pain that is occurred due to coronary blockage has an impact on the fear of death and can affect hemodynamic stability. Anxiety is the most prominent stress and greatly disturbs the patient's psychological condition. The integrative nursing intervention model becomes a model approach that can be applied by nurses in nursing care services for patients with acute coronary syndrome. Therefore, the role of nurses as service providers should be able to make the best contribution through the application of an integrative nursing intervention model. This intervention model approach is expected to be able to improve patient well being during hospitalization.
