Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the nurse¡¯s role performance and the perception of the importance of role among nurses practicing in a cancer care facility.
Methods: A descriptive study design was applied with convenient sampling of 175 nurses working at a cancer care facility in Daegu, Korea. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire from July 1, 2013 to July 5, 2013.
Results: Cancer care facility nurse¡¯s role performance score was measured on average 3.23¡¾0.64. Oral medication was the most frequently performed role, followed by encouragement, care related to medication, and pain management. The perception of the importance of nurse¡¯s role was measured on average 3.31¡¾0.35. Care related to medication was regarded as the most important, followed by transfusion, oral medication, and intravenous & intramuscular
medication. Nurse¡¯s role performance was different according to nurse¡¯s age (F=3.21, p=.024) and current practice area (F=3.73, p=.012). The perception of the importance of nurse¡¯s role was different only in relation
to current practice area (F=6.82, p<.001).
Conclusion: Nurses practicing in oncology setting frequently involve encouraging patients and pain management. Training programs designed to facilitate frequently performed and highly regarded nurse¡¯s roles are required for nurses practicing in oncology setting.
