Nomothetic EORTC IN-PATSAT 32 and idiographic GAS questionnaires in the assessment of surgical treatment in patients with endometrial cancer
Current Gynecologic Oncology(2021)
Abstract
Introduction: Identification and attainment of the goals of cancer patients is an important aspect of personalized treatment. Aim of the study: The study aimed to assess the following aspects in patients treated surgically for endometrial cancer: 1) level of satisfaction with hospitalization using the EORTC IN-PATSAT32 nomothetic questionnaire; 2) degree of goals attainment using the Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS) idiographic questionnaire; 3) correlation between these evaluation methods. Material and method: The study included 123 patients with endometrial cancer (FIGO I–II) treated surgically at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in Rzeszów in 2012–2014. EORTC IN-PATSAT32 and GAS questionnaires were used. The collected material was analyzed using the Statistica 10.0 software. Results: The overall level of satisfaction measured with the IN-PATSAT32 scale was 72.2 ± 20.5. The technical skills were rated the highest in nurses (74.5 ± 17.6) and doctors (69.3 ± 17.8), while the lowest score was awarded for hospital assess (54.7 ± 23.3). The overall satisfaction with care was 72.2 ± 20.5. In the personalized GAS scale, the patients listed individual expectations before the surgery, assigning ranks to their importance. For most of them, it was a very high (A) or high (B) rank. The patients assigned the highest ranks to quick mobilization, success of the operation, and willingness to be healthy. The average value of the level of goal attainment on the discharge date was 63.7 ± 9.4 points. Statistically significant correlations between the questionnaires were found for the level of goal attainment and the assessment of various aspects of hospital care. Conclusions: The study proved that the EORTC IN-PATSAT32 questionnaire was correlated with GAS questionnaire, and additionally provided knowledge about individual goals of care and the degree of their attainment. The use of nomothetic and idiographic tools gives wider possibilities in the planning and implementation of personalized care.
