AboutAbout the lab
Exploring nursing that supports patients with cancer or at the end of life, and their families
The Advanced Practice Nursing Development Lab studies nursing and medical care that support patients with cancer and patients at the end of life, along with their families.
Professor Kazuki Sato uses healthcare big data to investigate where terminally ill cancer patients across Japan receive care and what medical care they receive.
Lecturer Kyoko Ishida specializes in the practice of cancer nursing and palliative care, and studies support for patients with cancer of unknown primary and their families.
Key terms
- Healthcare big data
- Large-scale data compiling the medical records of many patients nationwide, such as insurance claims information (receipts) for medical fees
- Cancer of unknown primary
- Cancer whose site of origin cannot be identified. It is a type of rare cancer, and diagnosis takes time and tends to be prolonged
ResearchResearch themes
The lab seeks to clarify where and what kind of medical care and nursing patients with cancer or at the end of life receive, evaluate its quality, and explore how nursing and medicine can support patients and their families. It pursues epidemiological studies using nationwide data and the development of nursing support programs for patients and their families.
Examining end-of-life care with healthcare big data
Using healthcare big data such as the NDB (National Database of Health Insurance Claims and Specific Health Checkups of Japan), the lab compared the medical care received before death by people who died of cancer across prefectures, and studied regional differences and their causes. It is now comparing the quality of end-of-life cancer care by the medical functions of hospitals (Prof. Sato).
Supporting patients with cancer of unknown primary and their families
The lab focuses on the psychological burden that patients with cancer of unknown primary and their families bear in the period before diagnosis. It is developing a support program in which a cancer nursing specialist becomes involved from an early stage of diagnosis to ease this burden, and is testing its feasibility and effectiveness (Lecturer Ishida).
