Clinical Scorecard: Identifying Factors Linked to Unmet Psychological Care Requirements and Creating a Risk Prediction Model Based on the Neuman Systems Framework in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients

At a Glance

CategoryDetail
ConditionHepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC)
Key MechanismsUnmet psychological care needs linked to pain, sleep disturbance, anxiety, depression, family support, communication, and economic burden.
Target PopulationAdults with hepatocellular carcinoma admitted for treatment.
Care SettingOncology nursing during early hospitalization.

Key Highlights

  • 59.4% of patients reported unmet psychological care needs within 24–48 hours of admission.
  • Key predictors of unmet needs include pain scores, sleep disturbance, and family support.
  • The developed nomogram showed good predictive performance with AUCs of 0.851 and 0.829 in training and validation sets, respectively.
  • The study emphasizes the importance of early screening for psychological care needs in HCC patients.

Guideline-Based Recommendations

Diagnosis

  • Assess psychological care needs using the SCNS-SF34 within 24–48 hours after admission.

Management

  • Implement early nursing stratification based on identified psychological care needs.

Monitoring & Follow-up

  • Regularly evaluate pain, sleep, and emotional states during hospitalization.

Risks

  • Consider the impact of inadequate family support and communication on psychological well-being.

Patient & Prescribing Data

Adults with hepatocellular carcinoma experiencing symptom distress and psychological needs.

Clinical Best Practices

  • Utilize the Neuman Systems Model for comprehensive assessment of stressors.
