Symptom Attribution Of Older Cancer Patients With Comorbid Conditions During Chemotherapy Treatment, Sandra Spoelstra
Symptom Attribution Of Older Cancer Patients With Comorbid Conditions During Chemotherapy Treatment, Sandra Spoelstra
Sandra L. Spoelstra, PhD, RN, FGSA, FAAN
Background:Over 60% of those who are diagnosed with cancer are older adults, and 75% have comorbid conditions. 15% of cancer treatment is now in pill form; and it is expected to grow to 25% within 3-years. Having comorbid conditions in addition to cancer may exacerbate symptom severity. As a consequence of these symptoms, some patients adjust, interrupt, or stop dosages of the oral agent, which may affect cancer treatment.
Purpose: This study describes the attribution of symptoms (fatigue, pain, numbness/tingling, sleep disturbance, diarrhea, distress, swelling in hands/feet, lack of appetite, constipation, shortness of breath, redness/swelling/pain in hands or …

Acceptability And Preliminary Efficacy Of A Sms Text Message Intervention In Older Cancer Patients, Sandra Spoelstra
Sandra L. Spoelstra, PhD, RN, FGSA, FAAN
With 68% of adults owning cell phones, text messaging (herein, SMS) may be a means to prompt self-management. A 10-week trial of a 4-week SMS intervention enrolled 80 patients from 2 cancer centers and a specialty pharmacy. Regarding acceptability, 56.3% (80/142) of eligible consented. Mean age of consented was 58.5 (range 39-82); eligible not consented 57.24 (range 32-92); and ineligible 63.6 (range 26-82). Of 142 approached, consent rate according to age was: 60% (27 of 45) for those 65+; 53% (35 of 66) for those 50-64; and 58.1% (18 of 31) for those <50. Females represented 59% (n=47) of consented, …

Translating Evidence-Based Care In A State Waiver Program To Reduce Transitions, Sandra Spoelstra
Sandra L. Spoelstra, PhD, RN, FGSA, FAAN
Disability reflects a gap between an individual’s abilities and the environment in which they function, and is the primary modifiable factor in preventing institutionalization. We report on a pilot study testing dissemination and implementation of a proven intervention, intervening directly on pain, medication management, strength and balance, depression and the home environment, in the State of Michigan waiver program to reduce re-institutionalization. We are enrolling 20 clients who were hospitalized or nursing home within the past 14-days, and providing the intervention plus usual waiver services. We will compare those 20 to a match (age, race, gender) cohort from 2012 who …
