Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to prepare a scale for comprehensively measuring the effects of dyspnea on cancer patients. The contents extracted from the previous study "Experience of treatment advanced lung cancer patients with dyspnea difficulty" and other studies related to the feeling of dyspnea, the existing scale, "concept analysis of dyspnea feeling of cancer patients" etc Based on the viewpoints of daily life, physical aspects, psychological aspects, social aspects, etc., we created an item pool and created a provisional scale to be a draft through a review process of the scale items proposed by supervisors and pretests .

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

今回開発した尺度は、呼吸困難感による苦痛の程度とQOLへの影響の程度を包括的に評価することが可能である。このため、支援の必要性があるにもかかわらずその苦痛の存在自体が潜在化しやすい特徴をもつ治療期のがん患者の呼吸困難感の他者評価や表在化を可能にすることが期待でき、患者のもつ支援ニーズを明確化することができる。また、簡易に評価できる本尺度は、評価にかかる患者への負担を最小限にできるとともに限られた環境・時間下での外来診療の場においても評価を可能にすることが期待できる。さらに、がん患者の呼吸困難感の症状看護の介入効果の検証研究における評価指標としても活用が期待できる。
