Njega kože bolesnika na terapiji egfr-inhibitorima Skin care for patients at egfr inhibitors therapy
Danas je dostupan velik broj ciljanih bioloÅ”kih lijekova (monoklonskih protutijela na staniÄne receptore i inhibitori signalnih molekula), Äija je upotreba omoguÄila uÄinkovitije lijeÄenje i smanjila uÄestalost sistemskih nuspojava, a koju uzrokuje upotreba kemoterapije. Jedan iz navedene grupe lijekova je Vectibix (panitumumab) indiciran za lijeÄenje mCRC-a (engl. metastatic colorectal cancer) u pacijenta s WT RAS-om (engl. Wild type (WT) Ras proteins (H-Ras, N-Ras and K-Ras)). Nastanak kožnih nuspojava temelji se na patofoziologiji EGFR-a (engl. estimted glomerulal filtration rate) u procesu proliferacije i diferencijacije stanica u koži i kožnim adneksima. Naime, EGFR je normalnih vrijednosti u stanicama epidermisa (keratrinocitima), lojnicama, znojnicama i epitelnim stanicama folikula dlaka, gdje potiÄe njihovo sazrijevanje. Primjenom EGFRinhibitora i njihovim vezanjem na EGFR-receptore, osim uÄinka na tumorske stanice, inhibiraju se uÄinci EGFR-a u stanicama kože i kožnih adneksa, Å”to rezultira smanjenom proliferacijom keratinocita, stanjenjem epidermisa i posljediÄnom upalnom reakcijom. NajÄeÅ”Äe su kožne reakcije: akneiforma erupcija, suhoÄa kože, svrbež, poremeÄaji koji nastaju na noktima i poremeÄaji koji nastaju na vlasiÅ”tu

Maligna bolest uvelike utjeÄe na stupanj kvalitete bolesnikova života. Svijest o važnosti kvalitete života u populaciji onkoloÅ”kih bolesnika sve je veÄa, te tijek onkoloÅ”kog lijeÄenja i metoda zdravstvene njege ima poveÄani stupanj važnosti. U onkologiji stupanj kvaliteta sadrži sljedeÄe Äimbenike: subjektivni doživljaj pozitivnih i negativnih simptoma bolesti; tjelesne, emocionalne, socijalne i kognitivne funkcije; uÄestalost simptoma i nuspojava lijeÄenja. MuÄnina i povraÄanje uzrokovani uporabom antitumorskih lijekova i metodama zdravstvene njege, najÄeÅ”Äe su i za bolesnike najznaÄajnije neželjene posljedice onkoloÅ”kog lijecÄenja. MuÄnina i povraÄanje, pored nedvojbenog smanjenja stupnja kvalitete života bolesnika može dovesti i do pojave neželjenih komplikacija kao Å”to su dehidracija, elektrolitski disbalans, aspiracijska pneumonija, ruptura ezofagusa, anoreksija, malnutricija i disfunkcija svih organskih sustava. Sve navedeno uvelike utjeÄe i na suradljivost bolesnika na indicirane metode lijeÄenja onkoloÅ”ke terapije dovodeÄi do smanjenja uÄinkovitosti primjenjenih terapeutskih postupaka. Prema rezultatima provedenih studija proizlazi da od 60 do 80% bolesnika lijeÄenih kemoterapijom navodi postojanje muÄnine i povraÄanja u razliÄitom obimu, dok u bolesnika lijeÄenih visokim dozama cisplatina taj postotak iznosi i do 90%

About 300 scientists and engineers submitted 95 abstracts to the 7th International Scientific and Professional Conference Water for all, out of which 33 was presented orally and 62 as posters. 47 full papers were accepted by the Scientific Committee. 38 full papers became the part of the this Proceedings while 9 papers were accepted for publication in Croatian Journal of Food Science and Technology and Electronic Journal of the Faculty of Civil Engineering Osijek - e-GFOS
USE OF ALTERNATIVE AND COMPLEMENTARY MEDICINE IN ONCOLOGY PATIENTS
Cilj: Glavni cilj istraživanja je utvrditi koriste li pacijenti koji se lijeÄe na Klinici za onkologiju i radioterapiju KBC-a Split alternativne i komplementarne metode lijeÄenja. Ostali ciljevi su utvrditi najÄeÅ”Äe koriÅ”tene metode, razloge koriÅ”tenja, razgovaraju li pacijenti o koriÅ”tenju s lijeÄnicima i medicinskim sestrama, iskustva pacijenata o dobrobiti i nuspojavama koriÅ”tenja te reakcije zdravstvenog osoblja na izjave o koriÅ”tenju.
Metode: Istraživanje je provedeno na Klinici za onkologiju i radioterapiju KBC-a Split, anketnim upitnikom, na 200 ispitanika, glavni kriterij ukljuÄenja bio je da se radi o punoljetnoj osobi , onkoloÅ”kom bolesniku u tijeku aktivnog onkoloÅ”kog lijeÄenja.
Rezultati: Istraživanjem je potvrÄena glavna hipoteza da pacijenti na Klinici za onkologiju i radioterapiju KBC-a Split, koriste alternativne i komplementarne metode lijeÄenja i to u 36 % sluÄajeva. Ako uzmemo u obzir i Äinjenicu da od 128 ispitanika Äak njih 70 (54.6 %) navodi uzimanje nekog od ponuÄenih pripravaka/metoda, možemo zakljuÄiti da je ovim potvrÄena i treÄa hipoteza. VeÄina ispitanika uz onkoloÅ”ke metode lijeÄenja, kao komplementarne i alternativne dodatke koristi molitvu (65.7 %), vitamine i minerale (62.9 %) te biljne pripravke (55.7 %). Rezultati ovog ispitivanja potvrdili su i drugu hipotezu a ta je da se pacijenti odluÄuju na primjenu alternativnih i komplementarnih metoda odmah nakon postavljanja dijagnoze maligne bolesti i to u 44.4 % sluÄajeva. Na pitanje o razlozima koriÅ”tenja alternativnih metoda lijeÄenja najÄeÅ”Äi razlog je oÄekivanje poveÄanja imuniteta (75 %) i smanjenje nuspojava. Äetvrta hipoteza ovog ispitivanja potvrÄena je u 50 % sluÄajeva gdje ispitanici izjavljuju da se ne povjeravaju svom lijeÄniku onkologu i u 87.1 % sluÄajeva u kojima se o koriÅ”tenju KAM-a ne povjeravaju medicinskoj sestri. NajÄeÅ”Äi razlog zbog kojeg se nisu povjerili lijeÄniku onkologu/medicinskoj sestri, ispitanici navode kako nisu niti upitani (85.7 %). Reakcije onkologa/medicinske sestre na izjave ispitanika o koriÅ”tenju alternativnih metoda lijeÄenja su u 49.3 % sluÄajeva takve da su prepustili bolesniku odluku o daljnjem koriÅ”tenju, dok su mu u 46.7 % sluÄajeva pružili podrÅ”ku i razumijevanje.
ZakljuÄak: Pacijenti koji se lijeÄe na Klinici za onkologiju i radioterapiju KBC-a Split koriste alternativne i komplementarne metode lijeÄenja na koju se odluÄuju najÄeÅ”Äe odmah nakon postavljanja dijagnoze. NajÄeÅ”Äe koriste biljne pripravke te vitamine i minerale i molitvu. Pacijenti ne razgovaraju o koriÅ”tenju alternativnih metoda lijeÄenja sa zdravstvenim radnicima na Klinici u 50% sluÄajeva, najÄeÅ”Äe jer nisu ni upitani. Glavni razlog koriÅ”tenja KAM-a je oÄekivanje da im se poveÄa imunitet.Aim: The main goal of the research is to determine whether the patients treated at the Clinic for Oncology and Radiotherapy of KBC Split use alternative and complementary methods of treatment. Other objectives are to determine the most commonly used methods, reasons for use, whether the patients discuss use the with doctors and nurses, patients' experiences of benefits and side effects of use, and reactions of healthcare staff to statements about use.
Methods: The research was conducted at the Clinic for Oncology and Radiotherapy of KBC Split, using a survey questionnaire, on 200 respondents, the main inclusion criterion was that they were adults, oncology patients undergoing active oncology treatment.
Results: The research confirmed the main hypothesis that patients at the Oncology and Radiotherapy Clinic of KBC Split use alternative and complementary treatment methods in 36% of cases. If we also take into account the fact that out of 128 participans, as many as 70 of them (54.6%) mention taking one of the offered preparations/methods, we can conclude that the third hypothesis is also confirmed. In addition to oncological treatment methods, the majority of participants use prayer (65.7%), vitamins and minerals (62.9%) and herbal preparations (55.7%) as complementary and alternative methods. The results of this study also confirmed the second hypothesis, which is that patients decide to use alternative and complementary methods immediately after the diagnosis of a malignant disease in 44.4% of cases. When asked about the reasons for using alternative treatment methods, the most common reason is the expectation of increased immunity (75%) and reduction of side effects. The fourth hypothesis of this study was confirmed in 50% of the cases where the respondents declare that they do not confide in their oncologist and in 87.1% of the cases in which they do not confide in the nurse about the use of CAM. The most common reason why they did not confide in an oncologist/nurse is that they were not even asked to do so (85.7%). The reactions of the oncologist/nurse to the respondents' statements about the use of alternative treatment methods are in 49.3% of cases such that they left the decision on further use to the patient, while in 46.7% of cases they provided them with support and understanding.
Conclusion: Patients who are treated at the Clinic for Oncology and Radiotherapy of KBC Split use alternative and complementary methods of treatment, which they decide on most often immediately after diagnosis. Most often they use herbal preparations and vitamins and minerals and prayer. Patients do not discuss the use of alternative treatment methods with health staff at the Clinic in 50% of cases, most often because they are not even asked. The main reason for using KAM is the expectation that their immunity will increase
