Support from theatre nurse and an anaesthetic nurse

Support from a nurse from the ward and an anaesthetic nurse

Support from an optional relative and an anaesthetic nurse

Additional staff are only present if required by law.

Only support from an anaesthetic nurse on the surgery ward

Theatre nurse stay with the patient, follow her to the operating table and stays with her until she is anaesthetized

Support: a theatre nurse + an anaesthetic nurse

A nurse from the ward follows the patient to the operating table and stays with her until she is anaesthetized.

Optional relative supports

Ole Mogensen, Professor

Studies shows that reduced nervousness before anaesthesia may improve a course past anaesthesia. Therefore it is interesting to investigate how we can best help patients shortly before anaesthesia. A RCT with three intervention arms (with different personal support) and a control arm (with usual personal support) is therefore performed.

Hypothesis: Nervousness is reduced by the new interventions compared to the usual help provided.

All patients receive behavioral support the last half hour before anaesthesia, but at different times and provided by persons with different connection to the patients.

The last two patients in all arms will be interviewed about their experiences with the help offered.

Statistic will provide results in the quantitative part of the study and analysis and interpretation following ideas of the French philosopher Poul Ricoeur will provide results in the qualitative part of the study.

VAS score shown by patients and written down by the anesthetic nurse correcte to one decimal place.

A validated questionnaire is filed out by patients. The questionnaire have six items measuring satisfaction with help from healthcare professionals provided at the hospital.

Patients with recurrent high-grade glioma

Close relatives of patients with recurrent high-grade glioma

Frantz Rom Poulsen, Professor

This qualitative study explores the lived experience of high-grade glioma patients and their close relatives at time of recurrence. With focus on the decision-making about treatment and care..

High-Grade Glioma is a life-threatening disease that can cause the patient substantial physical, mentally and psychosocially impairment. The life expectancy is short, and a majority of patients experience recurrence of tumour growth. At time of recurrence, the treatment possibilities can include surgery, oncological treatment and/or palliative care.

In this situation the patients and their close relatives need to make a difficult balancing between benefits and trade offs.

Little is known about how the patients and their close relatives experience the recurrence and the decision-making process.

The objective of this study is therefore to explore the perspectives, experiences and needs in patients and their close relatives in relation to the decision-making process at time of recurrence.

Data will be generated through semi-structured interviews. Interviews will be analysed and interpreted using a Ricoeur inspired method of qualitative analysis.

The study is part of a larger PhD-study.
