The increasing incidence of cancer combined with prolonged survival times seen throughout the western world increases the need for rehabilitation. Diagnosis and treatment for cancer may have substantial effects on the patients' physical, psychological, social and existential well-being. The aim of this paper is to describe the current situation in cancer rehabilitation in the Nordic countries, the Netherlands and Germany.
Description of the current situation in cancer rehabilitation in the Nordic countries and literature review.
Rehabilitation as defined by multiple organizations covers a multidimensional view on chronic disease and its effect on the patient's life. The rehabilitation systems in Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Germany and the Netherlands differ depending on the differing social security and health-care systems, but rehabilitation provided is largely based on a similar, multidimensional and multidisciplinary understanding of cancer rehabilitation. Research on rehabilitation efforts in European countries indicates that there is substantial evidence with regard to single interventions which can be part of cancer rehabilitation.
In order to assure patients and families continuing quality of life, rehabilitation should be an integral and continuous part of all cancer care.
在整个西方世界,癌症发病率的上升和生存时间的延长都增加了康复的需求。癌症的诊断和治疗可能对患者的身体、心理、社会和生存福祉产生重大影响。本文旨在描述北欧国家、荷兰和德国的癌症康复现状。
描述北欧国家和文献综述的癌症康复现状。
多个组织定义的康复涵盖了对慢性病及其对患者生活影响的多维观点。丹麦、芬兰、瑞典、德国和荷兰的康复系统因不同的社会保障和医疗保健系统而异,但提供的康复主要基于对癌症康复的类似、多维和多学科的理解。关于欧洲国家康复工作的研究表明,有大量证据表明单一干预措施可以成为癌症康复的一部分。
为了确保患者和家属持续的生活质量,康复应该是所有癌症治疗的一个不可或缺的、持续的组成部分。
