Abstract

Dyspnea is a common and often overlooked symptom in patients with lung cancer. Oncology nurses are positioned to promptly assess, triage, and intervene to minimize dyspnea, but improved assessment is needed. As a result, this pilot study explores the validity and feasibility of two assessment scales on measuring the perception of dyspnea in patients with non-small cell lung cancer in the acute care setting.

摘要

呼吸困难是肺癌患者常见且常被忽视的症状。肿瘤专科护士能够及时进行评估、分诊和干预，以尽量减轻呼吸困难，但仍需要改进评估方法。因此，这项试点研究探讨了两种评估量表在急性护理环境中测量非小细胞肺癌患者呼吸困难感知方面的有效性和可行性。
