Impact of palliative care integration on end-of-life resource utilization and costs in oncology patients
Introduction Evidence from Middle Eastern cancer centers on the impact of palliative care on end-of-life practices remains limited. This study evaluated healthcare utilization, diagnostic costs, and timing of palliative care referral requests at a tertiary cancer center in Jordan. Materials and methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study including all 299 adult cancer patients who died between February 2017 and May 2018. Patients were categ…
Culture sensitive care in oncology care settings in Jordan
Introduction: Cultural beliefs significantly impact cancer perceptions, treatment choices, and care experiences. In Jordan, diverse patient background requires cultural competence and bias awareness among providers. This study aims to explore the cultural beliefs and practices of patients and their families in the experience of cancer care, and how these practices influence such care in Jordan. Materials and methods: This is a multi-center qualit…
Stress, resilience, and moral distress among health care providers in oncology during the Covid-19 pandemic
Background The coronavirus pandemic has potential implications for stress levels and resilience among oncology healthcare professionals (HCPs). This study aims to assess perceived stress, resilience, and moral distress levels among oncology HCPs in Jordan during the pandemic and identify associated risk factors. Methods An online cross-sectional survey was conducted among oncology HCPs in Jordan using three validated tools: Perceived Stress Scale…
The challenges of international collaboration in conflict and health research
This study provided preliminary insights into perspectives on international collaboration in a major international programme of research on conflict and health. Several key challenges and outputs were generated by the researchers in this study. The findings are important for further developing effective strategies to tackle the challenge of power imbalance and ineffective communication in international research collaborations
Decision-Making Preferences among Advanced Cancer Patients in a Palliative Setting in Jordan
Understanding patients’ decision-making preferences is crucial for enhancing patients’ outcomes. The current study aims to identify Jordanian advanced cancer patients’ preferred decision-making and to explore the associated variables of the passive decision-making preference. We used a cross-sectional survey design. Patients with advanced cancer referred to the palliative care clinic at a tertiary cancer center were recruited. We measured patient…
Validation of the Arabic Version of the Edmonton Symptom Assessment System
Quality cancer care is a team effort. In addition, patients' symptoms change over the course of treatment. As such, the Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (ESAS) is a simple tool designed to quickly monitor symptom change. Here, we present the results from a two-phase study aimed at validating the Arabic version of the ESAS (ESAS-A). Phase one involved the creation of two versions of the ESAS with both reverse and forward translations by bilingua…
Developing a global practice-based framework of person-centred care from primary data
Introduction Person-centred care (PCC) is internationally recognised as a critical component of high-quality healthcare. However, PCC evolved in a few high-income countries and there are limited data exploring this concept across the vast majority of countries which are low- and middle-income. This study aimed to appraise and adapt a PCC model across three serious physical conditions in three middle-income countries and generate an evidence-based…
Care Needs and Symptoms Burden of Breast Cancer Patients in Jordan
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in Jordan. Rigorous needs assessment for breast cancer patients can prioritize both cancer care and palliative care to propose the appropriate services effectively. We conducted a cross-sectional study of breast cancer patients in a cancer center in Jordan. We assessed symptom burden, comorbidities, and performance using the Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (ESAS), the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI)…
DNR and Covid-19
Ethics are considered a basic aptitude in healthcare, and the capacity to handle ethical dilemmas in tough times calls for an adequate, responsible, and blame-free environment. While do-not-resuscitate (DNR) decisions are made in advance in certain medical situations, in particular in the setting of poor prognosis like in advanced oncology, the discussion of DNR in relation to acute medical conditions, the COVID-19 pandemic in this example, might…
Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Cancer Researchers in 2020
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on global health systems and economies. With ongoing and future challenges posed to the field due to the pandemic, re-examining research priorities has emerged as a concern. As part of a wider project aiming to examine research priorities, here we aimed to qualitatively examine the documented impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on cancer researchers. Materials and Methods: We conduc…
