Mouth Cancer for clinicians part 13 life after Mouth Cancer treatment
Dental update, 2016Co-Authors: Nicholas Kalavrezos, C ScullyAbstract:A MEDLINE search early in 2015 revealed more than 250,000 papers on head and neck Cancer; over 100,000 on oral Cancer; and over 60,000 on Mouth Cancer. Not all publications contain robust evidence. We endeavour to encapsulate the most important of the latest information and advances now employed in practice, in a form comprehensible to healthcare workers, patients and their carers. This series offers the primary care dental team, in particular, an overview of the aetiopathogenesis, prevention, diagnosis and multidisciplinary care of Mouth Cancer, the functional and psychosocial implications, and minimization of the impact on the quality of life of patient and family. Clinical relevance: This article offers the dental team an overview of prognostication, quality of life and oral and dental healthcare.

psychosocial impacts of oral epithelial dysplasia
Journal of Oral Pathology & Medicine, 2021Co-Authors: Abdullah Alsoghier, Richeal Ni Riordain, Stefano Fedele, Stephen PorterAbstract:BACKGROUND The psychosocial impact of receiving the diagnosis of oral epithelial dysplasia, which presents up to 3.5% increased annual risk of Mouth Cancer, remain unknown. Using validated instruments, the present study aimed to investigate the prevalence and existing correlations between anxiety, depression and dental anxiety symptoms and burden on oral health-related quality of life. METHODS A clinical cohort of 82 patients with oral dysplasia was asked to complete the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale and the shortened version of the Oral Health Impact Profile. Spearman's correlation coefficient and regression analyses were performed. RESULTS The participants' scores were in keeping with the presence of anxiety, depression and emotional distress symptoms in 30%, 16%, and 26%, respectively. However, 69% experienced anxiety related to procedures that may be required as part of long-term management of oral dysplasia (e.g. local anaesthetic injection). The oral-health related quality of life scores showed 41.5% reporting a recent daily problem due to their oral or dental health. Significant correlations [p > 0.05] were found among and between all of the used instruments. Being a female with oral dysplasia also predicted increased odds of indicating higher anxiety and dental anxiety scores than males [p > 0.05]. CONCLUSION Oral dysplasia can adversely impact on the psychosocial well-being of affected persons. Establishing a causal relationship between the measured variables may, however, be challenging and would need further longitudinal studies.

information needs of patients with oral epithelial dysplasia
Oral Surgery Oral Medicine Oral Pathology and Oral Radiology, 2020Co-Authors: Abdullah Alsoghier, Richeal Ni Riordain, Stefano Fedele, Stephen PorterAbstract:Objectives The aim of this study was to determine whether the information needs of patients with oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) were met and to explore what information these patients require. Study Design Patients with OED were invited to complete the newly developed Oral Epithelial Dysplasia Informational Needs Questionnaire (ODIN-Q). ODIN-Q is a 35-item tool, which was developed by adopting an existing valid and reliable instrument that explores the information need of patients with potentially malignant disease elsewhere in the body and using input from OED experts. The questions were then formulated and tested for content validity by clinicians (n = 12) and patients (n = 5), with unclear, irrelevant, redundant, and unacceptable items omitted. The final 35-item ODIN-Q includes 2 scales: (1) amount of information already received (too much, enough, not enough, and none); and (2) degree of importance of the information (very, yes, not very, not at all). Results Twenty-four patients (11 males, 13 females) with different degrees of OED (mild = 15; moderate = 4; severe = 6) agreed to participate in this pilot study. The analysis showed unmet information needs with regard to the potential role of human papilloma virus (HPV); effects on job/career; community/patient support groups; genetic testing, where applicable; and complementary/alternative treatment options. However, the latter 2 items were considered less important on a degree-of-importance scale. All other items were believed by the participants to be important. The highest importance was given to items relating to screening and early detection, fear of progression to Cancer, OED grades and the risk of Mouth Cancer, and what OED is, respectively. Based on ODIN-Q scores, 8 participants (33%) demonstrated unmet information needs. These patients indicated that one-on-one meetings that included one or more health care professionals and printed materials were the most appropriate means of receiving information to address this unmet need for information. A specialist in the management of OED was the favored professional for such one-on-one meetings. Conclusions The newly developed ODIN-Q can help address the needs and preferences concerning tailored and timely provision of information. The psychometric properties of the instrument now will be assessed in a large cohort of patients to confirm its validity and reliability.
