Review Methods: A systematic search was conducted, and peer-reviewed scientific papers were screened through the application of Rayyan software.

Women's experiences of assessment for urinary incontinence: a qualitative study.

Background: One in four women experience urinary incontinence. A woman's medical history, a physical examination and certain tests can guide specialists in diagnosing and offering treatment. Despite the high prevalence, little is known about women's experience of urinary incontinence assessment.

Quality of life in home-dwelling cancer patients aged 80 years and older: a systematic review.

Objective: Quality of Life (QoL) in elderly cancer patients is a topic that has been little explored. This systematic review aims to identify, assess, and report the literature on QoL in home-dwelling cancer patients aged 80 years and older and what QoL instruments have been used.

Methods: We systematically searched the databases of Medline, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), PsykINFO, Scopus, Epistemonikos and Cinahl to identify studies of any design measuring QoL among home-dwelling cancer patients aged 80 years and older.

Baccalaureate Nursing Students' Reflections on Professional Development Within the Nursing Leadership Role When Participating in Student-run Teams: A Qualitative Content Analysis of Student's Reflection Notes.

Introduction: Studies show that nursing education institutions do not sufficiently prepare newly graduated nurses for the challenges they face when it comes to the leadership role. The direct relationship between leadership and quality of care makes it imperative to explore what contributes to prepare undergraduate nursing students to be effective future leaders.

Objective: To explore how second-year nursing students experience development of nursing leadership competence when participating in student-run teams (SRTs).

The impact of educational concerns and satisfaction on baccalaureate nursing students' distress and quality of life during the Covid-19 pandemic; a cross-sectional study.

Background: High levels of psychological distress and poor overall quality of life (QOL) have been identified among nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic necessitated improvised reconstructions of educational curriculums and restrictions in clinical placement and training at campuses, possibly reducing educational quality.

Objectives: We explored whether baccalaureate nursing students' concerns and satisfaction with the educational curriculum, focusing on the conduct of clinical training, were associated with perceived psychological distress and overall QOL.

Quality of life among cancer inpatients 80 years and older: a systematic review.

Objective: The aim of this systematic review was to summarize and assess the literature on quality of life (QoL) among cancer patients 80 years and older admitted to hospitals and what QoL instruments have been used.

Methods: We searched systematically in Medline, Embase and Cinahl. Eligibility criteria included studies with any design measuring QoL among cancer patients 80 years and older hospitalized for treatment (surgery, chemotherapy or radiation therapy).

Personality and educational level determine self-reported health-related quality-of-life and distress in patients with renal tumors awaiting radical surgery.

Data on preoperative distress and health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) is lacking for patients with newly diagnosed renal tumors. This study aims to compare HRQoL within this group with the general population and to study the relationship between distress, HRQoL, personality, coping, and patient/tumor-related factors. Between January 2011 and June 2014, 153 patients (100 males/53 females), scheduled for surgery were prospectively included.

Development of a disease-specific health-related quality of life (HRQoL) questionnaire intended to be used in conjunction with the general European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ) in renal cell carcinoma patients.

Background: Studying health-related quality of life (HRQoL) following cancer treatment has become part of a growing number of standardized treatment protocols. The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) has developed HRQoL questionnaires aimed at cancer patients. A disease-specific part is not available for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients, and the present aim was to develop an EORTC-compatible RCC-specific HRQoL questionnaire.

Health-related quality of life, personality and choice of coping are related in renal cell carcinoma patients.

Objective: To investigate whether health-related quality of life (HRQoL) depends on psychosocial factors, rather than on factors related to the cancer treatment, this study explored the associations between HRQoL, personality, choice of coping and clinical parameters in surgically treated renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients.

Materials And Methods: After exclusions (e.g.

Health-related quality of life in long-term survivors after renal cancer treatment.

Objective: The most important outcome of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) treatment is survival. However, all cancer treatment should evaluate the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) outcome of the treatment. This has not been sufficiently documented in RCC.

Stability of distress and health-related quality of life as well as relation to neuroticism, coping and TNM stage in head and neck cancer patients during follow-up.

Conclusion: Distress and to some extent health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients was found to be stable during follow-up. About one-third of the distress and HRQoL variances were accounted for in the present investigation with one-third from T stage, one-third directly from neuroticism and one-third from neuroticism via choice of coping response. In addition, choice of coping response predicted directly 5% of the HRQoL variance.

Personality, choice of coping and T stage predict level of distress in head and neck cancer patients during follow-up.

The aim of the present study was to investigate to what extent TNM stage, treatment level, personality, choice of coping, mood and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) scores predicted distress as measured by general health questionnaire (GHQ) in successfully treated head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients. All patients younger than 80 years who had been diagnosed with HNSCC in western Norway in the period from 1992 to 1997, and who had survived until 1999, were sampled. Ninety-six patients (90% response rate) were included 48 ± 2 months after diagnosis.

Distress, quality of life, neuroticism and psychological coping are related in head and neck cancer patients during follow-up.

Unlabelled: The aim of the present study was to study the relation between distress, quality of life (QoL), personality and choice of coping in successfully treated head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients, and to study whether distress could be regarded as a QoL variable.

Material And Methods: We determined present distress by the general health questionnaire (GHQ), QoL by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of life Questionnaire (EORTC-QLQ) C30/H&N35, personality by the Eysenck Personality Inventory and coping by the COPE questionnaire. All patients younger than 80 years who had been diagnosed with HNSCC in Western Norway in the period from 1992 to October 2001, and who had survived at least 12 months without evidence of disease were interviewed.
