The needs of cancer patients in regards to rebuilding their daily lives after initial treatment: Challenges for nursing outpatients and short-term hospitalization patients.

本文的目的是，鉴于目前住院时间缩短的趋势，阐明癌症患者如何接受必要的治疗后护理，并解释这一趋势的不足之处。对18例妇科癌症患者在治疗初期(T1)、T1后1~3个月(T2)、T1后6~12个月(T3)进行信息寻求应对方式(MBSS)、生活质量(Facit-O)和POMS(POMS)、实际获得的社会支持的详细情况及支持需求的调查。结果表明，在T1时，大多数患者从他们的主治医生那里得到关于他们日常护理的信息支持，而一些患者从他们的护士那里得到信息支持。在T2和T3，一些患者希望获得更多的信息和支持，而不管他们的应对方式、生活质量或癌症的阶段。为了得到这些信息和支持，这些患者中的一些人通过电话联系了他们医院的地板护士。此外，一些患有并发症并接受多名医生治疗的患者报告称，他们需要一个单一的地方，在那里他们可以提问和接受支持。

The objective of this article is, given the current trend of shortened hospitalization, to clarify how a cancer patient receives the necessary after-treatment care and to explain the deficiencies of this trend. 18 gynecologic cancer patients in the initial stages of treatment were asked about their coping style of information seeking (MBSS), their quality of life (FACIT-O and POMS), the details of the actual social support they received, and their support needs upon being discharged from the hospital (T1), 1 to 3 months after T1 (T2), and 6 to 12 months after T1 (T3). The results indicate that at T1 most patients received informational support in regards to their daily care from their primary physician while some patients received informational support from their nurses. At T2 and also at T3, a few patients wanted to receive additional information and support regardless of their coping style, their quality of life, or the stage of their cancer. In order to receive this information and support, some of these patients contacted their hospital's floor nurse by telephone. In addition, some of the patients who were suffering complications and were receiving treatment from multiple physicians reported a need for a single place where they could ask questions and receive support.
