简要总结
This study aims to evaluate the impact of an intelligent care system on radiation therapy patients, focusing on real-time blood data monitoring, optimized patient education, and internal alert systems. The goal is to enhance patient safety, improve treatment adherence, and reduce anxiety by integrating an alert function into the hospital's existing system.
Key interventions include:
Real-time blood monitoring alerts: Healthcare providers will receive automatic notifications of abnormal blood test results to ensure timely intervention.
Optimized patient education materials: Clearer guidance will help patients proactively communicate blood test needs and manage their health during radiation therapy.
Internal reminders: Visual signs and alerts in treatment areas will reinforce patient awareness and engagement.
The study will compare patients receiving these interventions with those under standard care, assessing treatment compliance, anxiety levels, and clinical outcomes over a 12-month period.
详细描述
Background & Rationale Cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy often experience changes in blood cell counts, particularly when combined with chemotherapy, affecting treatment safety and completion rates. Lack of real-time monitoring and patient engagement can lead to delays or complications in treatment. This study integrates an intelligent care system into clinical practice to enhance patient monitoring and education, reducing treatment interruptions and improving outcomes.
Study Objectives
System Optimization: Develop an automated blood data monitoring system that alerts medical staff and patients about abnormal results.
Patient Education Enhancement: Improve educational materials to guide patients on self-care and timely communication with healthcare providers.
Internal Warning Implementation: Install reminder signs in treatment areas to increase awareness and compliance.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Patient Anxiety Levels During Radiation Therapy
时间窗: Baseline (before radiation therapy) and 3 weeks after treatment initiation
The study will measure changes in patient anxiety levels before and after the intervention using the Brief Symptom Rating Scale-5 (BSRS-5). The BSRS-5 is a validated psychological assessment tool designed to screen for psychological distress, including anxiety, depression, hostility, interpersonal sensitivity, and insomnia. Scale Range: The BSRS-5 consists of five items, each scored from 0 (not at all) to 4 (extremely severe). Minimum Score: 0 (indicating no psychological distress). Maximum Score: 20 (indicating severe psychological distress). Interpretation: Higher scores indicate worse psychological distress. Outcome Goal: A decrease in BSRS-5 scores in the intervention group compared to the control group will indicate reduced anxiety and improved psychological well-being.
Treatment Adherence Rate During Radiation Therapy
时间窗: Throughout the entire course of radiation therapy (typically 4-6 weeks)
The study will track patient compliance with the prescribed radiation therapy regimen. Compliance will be measured through attendance records, completion of scheduled treatment sessions, and physician assessments. The intelligent care system is expected to improve adherence by increasing patient engagement and awareness through automated alerts and improved educational materials. A higher completion rate in the intervention group compared to the control group will indicate improved treatment adherence.
次要结局
- Change in Blood Cell Counts During Radiation Therapy(Weekly from baseline (Week 0) until treatment completion (approximately 4 to 6 weeks).)
- Patient Understanding of Self-Care and Blood Test Needs(Pre-treatment and after 3 weeks of treatment)
- Patient Satisfaction with the Intelligent Care System(At Week 6 (end of radiation therapy treatment, typically 4 to 6 weeks after initiation).)
