This study aimed to describe the contemporary role of the oncology nurse throughout
the entire cancer shared decision-making (SDM) process. Study participants consisted
of 30 nurses and nurse practitioners who are actively involved in direct care
of patients with cancer in the inpatient or outpatient setting. The major themes that
emerged from the content analysis are: oncology nurses have various roles at different
time points and settings of cancer SDM processes; patient education, advocacy, and
treatment side effects management are among the top nursing roles; oncology nurses
value their participation in the cancer SDM process; oncology nurses believe they have …


Genomic Variants Associated With Cancer-Related Fatigue: A Systematic Review, Joseph D. Tariman Phd, Sadaf Dhorajiwala Msn Sep 2016

Genomic Variants Associated With Cancer-Related Fatigue: A Systematic Review, Joseph D. Tariman Phd, Sadaf Dhorajiwala Msn

Joseph D Tariman PhD, RN, ANP-BC, FAAN

Background: Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is the most common stressful side effect caused by cancer and cancer treatments. Although CRF causes a significant burden to quality of life, no pharmacologic interventions are available because the mechanism remains unknown.
Objectives: This systematic review analyzed the genomic variants that have been found to
be associated with CRF.
Methods: A search for peer-reviewed articles through PubMed, EBSCOhost, and DePaul
WorldCat Libraries Worldwide yielded 16 published studies.
Findings: The majority of genomic variants demonstrated that the inflammatory and immune response pathways, including the neuro-proinflammatory cytokine pathway, have statistically significant associations with CRF. Additional genomic studies …

This study aimed to identify the barriers and promoters for participation
in cancer treatment decision in the era of shared decision-making (SDM)
process. A qualitative design was utilized. Nineteen nurses and 11 nurse
practitioners from oncology inpatient and outpatient settings participated
in semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed using directed content
analysis. The findings include practice barrier, patient barrier, institutional
policy barrier, professional barrier, scope of practice barrier, insurance
coverage barrier, and administrative barrier. Multidisciplinary team approach,
having a nursing voice during SDM, high level of knowledge of the disease
and treatment, and personal valuation of SDM participation were perceived
as …

Effective Transitional Therapy For Adolescent And Young Adult Patients With Cancer: An Integrative Literature Review, Katherine Jones Masterton, Joseph D. Tariman Phd

Joseph D Tariman PhD, RN, ANP-BC, FAAN

Abstract
BACKGROUND:
The adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer community has demonstrated a need for psychosocial help transitioning from acute cancer care to survivorship while navigating appropriate developmental challenges.
OBJECTIVES:
The purpose of this integrative literature review is to examine the transition of AYAs from life as patients with cancer to life as cancer survivors and to evaluate the most effective, therapeutic ways to make this transition.
METHODS:
This integrative literature review focused on articles published from 2008-2015 using PubMed, CINAHL®, and PsycINFO. Key search terms were cancer, [adaptation, psychological], adolesc*, and young adult. Outcomes were evaluated using the Adaptation …


Lack Of Health Maintenance And Risks In Multiple Myeloma, Joseph D. Tariman Phd, Charise Gleason, Beth Faiman, Deborah Doss, Donna Catamero, Jessica Bishop-Royse Phd, Mike Katz, Diane Moran Apr 2016

Lack Of Health Maintenance And Risks In Multiple Myeloma, Joseph D. Tariman Phd, Charise Gleason, Beth Faiman, Deborah Doss, Donna Catamero, Jessica Bishop-Royse Phd, Mike Katz, Diane Moran

Joseph D Tariman PhD, RN, ANP-BC, FAAN

Health maintenance (HM) practices are essential to prevent illness, promote well- being, and maximize health. Patients with multiple myeloma (MM) are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease and cancers, yet, research on HM practices and preventative care of MM survivors has limited report. The study comprised a descriptive, correlational, and cross- sectional online survey design. Survey of patients with MM was carried out through the International Myeloma Foundation (IMF) and the Association of Cancer Online Resources (ACOR) e- mail list services. The members of the IMF and ACOR e- mail list services were surveyed, of which 237 patients responded. The …
