|
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the knowledge and attitudes of oncology nurses towards clinical trials and to provide evidence for the development of clinical trial education programs for oncology nurses.
Methods: The study was conducted on 142 nurses who had more than six months of nursing experience working with cancer patients at a tertiary hospital in Seoul, Korea. A structured questionnaire was used to measure the knowledge and attitudes of oncology nurses towards clinical trials.
Results: The participants scored an average of 15.03±3.52 out of 19 in terms of knowledge about clinical trials. In terms of attitudes towards clinical trials, the participants scored an average of 5.91±1.37 out of 8. There was a significant positive correlation between the knowledge and attitudes of the participants towards clinical trials (r=.23, p=.007).
Conclusion: This study found that there was a relationship between the knowledge and attitudes of oncology nurses towards clinical trials. To improve the competency of oncology nurses and provide high-quality care to patients participating in clinical trials, more systematic and sustainable education is needed.
