About
By using the M.A.D.I.T. methodology and the Dialogics science, SALVO Project aims to develop operational guidelines to support oncological target patients in the resumption of their daily post-operative activities. The research will implement an instrument for the purpose of measuring the health need of participants who are admitted to the surgical ward. Therefore, targeted interventions will be implemented with participants, and efficacy will be evaluated in order to define treatment guidelines.
The principal aim of this study is to create a validated and replicable intervention model for supporting patients who undergone surgery for esophagus and gastro intestinal cancer.
Full description
Several studies highlight how patients diagnosed with a digestive tract cancer, experience difficulties in returning to work after treatment, leading to socio-economic spill-over effects.
A specific 16 questions questionnaire had been developed for this study, the "Health and Employment After Gastro Intestinal Surgery Dialogical Questionnaire" (HEADS-DQ). It investigate peculiar patient competences involved after surgery: future forethought; context evaluation; consequences of own actions forethought; use of available resources, each relevant to four areas: clinical; familiar; working; daily-activities.
Through this questionnaire patient ability in dealing with after surgery consequences will be evaluated in order to define targeted support, which will be offered by professional psychologists. These interventions efficacy will be evaluated through another administration of the HEADS-DQ.
