Health problems in the care of a patient with prostate cancer
(Oficyna Wydawnicza AFM, 2024) Twardak, Iwona; Olejarz, Izabela; Lisowska, Aleksandra; Kraińska, Agnieszka; Twardak, Jerzy
Prostate cancer is the second most frequently diagnosed cancer in men worldwide, after lung cancer. In the early stages in Poland it is usually detected accidentally. Despite effective treatment methods, a large group of men with symptoms of disseminated cancer process become patients of palliative care. This chapter reports the case of a man, aged 89, residing in an inpatient hospice with a diagnosis of advanced prostate cancer (Gleason Score 5 + 3 = 8), with bone metastasis, who had previously been treated with hormone therapy. At the time of nursing care, the patient scored ten points on the Barthel Index, seven points on the NRS pain scale, and nineteen points on the MNA nutrition scale and had a BMI of 20.76. He showed incomplete acceptance of the disease (twenty points on the AIS scale) and features of mild depression (seventeen points on the Beck depression scale). The main health problems/nursing diagnosis are pain, swelling, difficult urination, constipation, weakness and malnutrition. End-stage prostate cancer has a strong impact on the ability to perform daily activities and limits independence. Caring for cancer patients requires nurses to be highly qualified and skilled, as well as capable of showing understanding and compassion.

Nursing care of a patient with hormonally inactive pituitary macroadenoma
(Oficyna Wydawnicza AFM, 2024) Klisowska, Iwona; Bombska, Aleksandra; Salik, Katarzyna; Felińczak, Anna; Seń, Mariola
Pituitary tumours are slow-growing benign neoplasms that account for approximately 15% of all intracranial tumours. The diagnosis of pituitary tumours includes clinical signs and neuroimaging studies. This case report concerns a woman, now 71 years old, who was first hospitalised for increasing headaches and vomiting at the age of 38. A diagnosis of meningeal syndrome and destruction of the saddle of Turkey was made. The first operation to remove the pituitary macroadenoma via the transsphenoidal route took place fifteen years after diagnosis and, due to regrowth of the inactive pituitary adenoma, reoperation was performed twice after a further five years. The last surgery was complicated by paralysis of the right peroneal nerve and paralysis of the adductor nerve on the left side. The implementation of nursing care is based on the application of measures aimed at reducing discomfort, eliminating possible complications, increasing the patient’s level of independence, providing education and counselling on lifestyle changes, and coping with the limitations imposed by the disease.

Care of a patient with coronary artery disease: a case report
(Oficyna Wydawnicza AFM, 2024) Dąbek, Anna; Wójcik, Marta; Zborowska, Iwona
Ischemic heart disease is a condition of ischemia in the coronary arteries of the heart, the most common cause of which (98% of cases) is atherosclerotic lesions. Although a great deal is known about ischemic heart disease, there is a constant need to update knowledge regarding treatment, prevention and the behaviour of nursing staff towards patients. This is because coronary heart disease, despite the fact that a lot is known about its pathomechanism and risk factors, still has high mortality rates.

Model of nursing care for a patient after thyroid cancer dissemination and metastasis of papillary and follicular thyroid carcinoma according to the International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP®)
(Oficyna Wydawnicza AFM, 2024) Bańdo, Marcelina; Bakalarz, Renata
Thyroid cancer is a malignant neoplasm derived from the follicular cells of the thyroid gland, in addition to medullary carcinoma, which arises from neuroendocrine C cells. The last thirty years have seen a sharp increase in thyroid cancer cases. The purpose of this study is to present a model of nursing care according to the International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP®) for a 77-year-old patient after thyroid cancer dissemination and metastasis of papillary and follicular carcinoma. The patient required a right parietal-occipital craniectomy and Grunenwald incision, excision of the lesion with resection of the trachea, with excision of the left internal jugular vein, plasty of both the left venous angle and the outlet of the lowest thyroid vein to the left brachiocephalic vein, as well as drainage of the left pleural cavity. Medical records, a patient interview, a patient family interview, and assessment using scales were analysed: the VAS Scale, the life satisfaction scale and cancer adjustment questionnaire. The onset of cancer completely changes the functioning and life of the patient as well as of his/her family and loved ones, which is why family education and emotional support are so important. The ICNP® is a significant facilitator in the development of the nursing process and is also a facilitator of communication between nursing staff from around the world.

The relationship between self-efficacy and health behaviours and the level of knowledge of breast cancer prevention among professional nurses
(Oficyna Wydawnicza AFM, 2024) Seń, Mariola; Trybała, Katarzyna; Stołkowska, Alicja; Klisowska, Iwona
Introduction: Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in Poland. It develops slowly, very often without any symptoms for a long time. The key element in the prevention of breast cancer, which affects the rate of incidence, is women’s knowledge of the disease and participation in screening tests. Aim: The purpose of this study is to assess the relationship between the prevalence and intensity of health behaviours and self-efficacy and the level of knowledge about breast cancer prevention in a group of professional nurses. Material and methods: The study involved 125 nurses employed at the St. John Paul II Hospital in Krakow. Standardised tools were used in the study: Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), Health Behavior Inventory (HBI) and a self-designed questionnaire assessing knowledge about breast cancer prevention. Results: Nurses with higher education presented a higher level of knowledge regarding breast cancer prevention. Women with a high intensity of health behaviours in the preventive domain showed a better knowledge of breast cancer topics. Similarly, nurses characterised by a strong sense of self-efficacy presented a higher level of knowledge in this area. Conclusions: Almost half of the nurses surveyed presented a good level of knowledge about breast cancer prevention. The severity of health behaviours was rated as average, slightly higher in preventive behaviours and lower in terms of health practices. The stronger the sense of self-efficacy, the higher the level of knowledge and the higher the intensity of health behaviours.
