Attitudes of respondents about the role of the nurse in the treatment of Hodgkin's lymphom

Zloćudni limfomi su solidni tumori koji nastaju zloćudnom promjenom stanice iz limfoidne obitelji i njihovim nekontroliranim umnažanjem. Limfome dijelimo u dvije skupine: Hodkinov limfom i ne – Hodgkinove limfome. Hodkinov limfom (HL) zloćudni je tumor limfnog tkiva koji ponajprije zahvaća limfne čvorove i slezenu. Dijagnoza se postavlja na temelju karakteristične histološke slike uz obavezan nalaz Reed – Sternbergovih (RS) stanica. Učestalost HL – a u žena je 2,2 na 100 000, te u muškaraca 3,3 na 100 000. Najčešće se prezentira povećanjem limfnih čvorova obično na vratu, povećanom sklonošću infekcijama i autoimunosnim bolestima, pogotovo autoimunosnoj hemolitičkoj anemiji i imunotrombocitopeniji uz svrbež kože, umor slabost, gubitak na težini, vrućicu i znojenje. U dijagnostici HL se provodi LDH, SE te koncentracija bakra i haptoglobina, citološka punkcija i biopsija povećanog limfnog čvora, CT, MR, pozitronska emisijska tomografija (PET) fluoriranom deoksiglukozom (FDG), te biopsija kosti. Liječenje HL najčešće se sastoji od primjene kemoterapije, radioterapije, imunoterapije te transplantacije matičnih stanica, odnosno od kombinacije navedenih postupaka liječenja. Ovo istraživanje je imalo za cilj utvrditi stavove ispitanika o ulozi medicinske sestre u liječenju Hodgkinova limfoma. Provedeno je u periodu od 01. travnja do 10. kolovoza 2021. godine na uzorku od 106 ispitanika. Korišten je anonimni upitnik sa 11 pitanja. Istraživanje je provedeno uz pomoć on – line ankete preko Google obrasca. Istraživanje je pokazalo većina ispitanika ima pozitivan stav o ulozi medicinske sestre u liječenju bolesnika sa Hodgkinovim limfomom.Malignant lymphomas are solid tumors that arise from a malignant change in a cell from the lymphoid family and their uncontrolled proliferation. Lymphomas are divided into two groups: Hodgkin's lymphoma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) is a malignant tumor of the lymph tissue that primarily affects the lymph nodes and spleen. The diagnosis is made on the basis of a characteristic histological picture with the obligatory finding of Reed - Sternberg (RS) cells. The incidence of HL in women is 2.2 per 100,000, and in men 3.3 per 100,000. fatigue weakness, weight loss, fever, and sweating. In the diagnosis of HL, LDH, SE and copper and haptoglobin concentration, cytological puncture and biopsy of the enlarged lymph node, CT, MR, positron emission tomography (PET) with fluorinated deoxyglucose (FDG), and bone biopsy are performed. HL treatment usually consists of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy and stem cell transplantation, or a combination of these treatments. This study aimed to determine the attitudes of the respondents about the role of the nurse in the treatment of Hodgkin's lymphoma. It was conducted in the period from April 1 to August 10, 2021 on a sample of 106 respondents. An anonymous questionnaire with 11 questions was used. The research was conducted with the help of an online survey via the Google form. The research showed that the majority of respondents have a positive attitude about the role of the nurse in the treatment of patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma
