|
|
Purpose: This study was performed to identify the nursing needs of home-dwelling breast cancer patients based on counseling contents.
Methods: Descriptive research was conducted with content analysis. This study included 185 patients who underwent treatment for breast cancer in a tertiary hospital. The data were collected using personal counseling via telephone or face-to-face between March 2011 and July 2013. A total of 536 counseling contents were used in the analysis. Inductive content analysis was used to analyze the contents related to nursing counselling.
Results: According to the results. the most frequently reported nursing needs was symptom management, followed by information needs and supportive intervention needs; symptom management needs included symptoms related to chemotherapy, daily living, surgery, and medication side effects; information needs included treatments, medication, clinical tests, and alternative therapies; and supportive intervention needs were related to emotional and social aspects.
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that nursing interventions for home-dwelling breast cancer patients should be designed and provided with a consideration to these relevant nursing needs.
