	What Patients Expect

- Today I’d like to tell you about a study that came out of Turkey.
 - Thank you Gayle Rockelli for suggesting that I look at this paper.
 - The title of the paper is: What do lymphedema patients expect from a treatment and what do they achieve? A descriptive study.
 - Even though the title of the paper only mentions lymphedema, there were also lipedema and lipo-lymphedema patients included in this study.
 - It was published in the peer-reviewed periodical Journal of Vascular Nursing in March 2022.
 - The aim of this study was to examine the treatment needs and benefits from the patients’ perspective.
