Résumé
Background: Breast cancer is a devastating disease for women as it impacts on their intimate, familial, social life. We study the specificities of breast cancer nurse interventions related to demands of support, information and coordination. Material and Methods: More than 300 patients are treated every year in our institution. From 2006 January to 2008 December, the specialist nurse has reported demands of patients and professionals: 1. Patients' needs related to support, information and coordination of care were collected from consultations with her and from their phone calls on using working days help line 2. Demands of breast cancer specialists and general practitioners related to information and coordination for specific patients were collected from their phone calls.
Results: The specialist nurse received 679 phone calls respectively 71.5% from patients and 28.5% from professionals. Data are presented in the following table. Table 1: Evolution of number of patients and professionals demands Patients consultations Patients calls Professionals calls 2006 93 45 32 2007 210 200 40 2008 245 240 122 - Seventy percent (70%) of women asked for information about exams and treatments by phone and in nurse consultation. - Forty percent (40%) of women asked for support after announce of diagnosis. The specialist nurse proposed consultations, 2 to 4 consultations were necessary for women to express emotional distress or psychosocial problem. With this specialised nursing support less than 15% of patients were referred to the psycho-oncologist setting. - Forty percent (40%) of professionals asked support for patients and 60% for information and coordination of care.
Conclusion: The interventions of the specialist nurse have improved coordination and quality of care. The increase of professionals' demands showed that it was necessary that a nurse assures continuity of information between hospital and extrahospital structures. The breast cancer nurse empowers patients and helps them to get well by providing support to fulfil specific needs.
