The objectives of this study were to examine the level of offering nursing cares for family members of terminal cancer patients and the related variables in general hospitals . We examined the related factors that focused on nurses' experiences and features of care units . Staff nurses in twenty-seven care units from four general hospitals in the Tokyo metropolitan area were asked to complete a questionnaire and return it by mail individually . Consent to participate was identified by return of the questionnaire by mail . The nurses answered the level of four types of offering care for family members of terminal cancer patients . The investigated care items were (1)provision of information, (2) educational support to deal with the patient' s physical and psychological problems, (3)death-related care, and (4) psychological support for family members . The levels of offering of each care items were 60-70% . The related variables of the level of each care items were analyzed using multiple regression analyses . The levels of disease-related cares of patients ((1)-(3) were significantly correlated with the nurses' educational experiences such as attendance at large-sized educational sessions and self-learning with printed materials . On the other hand, psychological support for family members (4) was significantly correlated with the individual educational support from veteran nurses . The study showed that educational courses with large-sized sessions and printed materials are effective in enabling nurses to offer the patient disease-related care such as information provision and death-related care. The study also indicated that developing individual educational support systems is important for nurses to provide psychological care for families of terminal cancer patients.
