Provision of nutrition care for patients with cancer represents a key component of holistic oncology care. However, information is limited about the use and perceptions of registered dietitian-led nutrition care in the oncology setting.
This study aimed to better understand the experiences and expectations of patients and healthcare workers regarding nutrition care during outpatient cancer treatment.
Oncology care team members (N = 55) and patients (N = 90) completed a survey about their knowledge of and interest in nutrition care. A subset of participants completed semistructured interviews to capture experiences with and perspectives on nutrition care practices.
The majority of patients (n = 73) reported experiencing at least one nutrition impact symptom, but only 14 indicated that they frequently discussed nutrition during provider visits. In addition, 40 oncology care team members indicated frequently discussing nutrition at visits, although 13 were unaware of local nutrition resources.
为癌症患者提供营养护理是整体肿瘤学护理的关键组成部分。然而,关于注册营养师主导的营养护理在肿瘤学环境中的使用和看法的信息有限。
本研究旨在更好地了解患者和医疗保健工作者在门诊癌症治疗期间对营养护理的体验和期望。
肿瘤护理团队成员(N=55)和患者(N=90)完成了一项关于他们对营养护理的了解和兴趣的调查。一部分参与者完成了半结构化访谈,以了解他们对营养护理实践的经验和看法。
大多数患者(n=73)报告至少经历过一种营养影响症状,但只有 14 人表示他们经常在就诊时讨论营养问题。此外,40 名肿瘤护理团队成员表示经常在就诊时讨论营养问题,尽管有 13 人不知道当地的营养资源。
