Abstract

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to examine the cancer survivorship care practices among oncology nurses in Korea.
Methods
This study was a secondary analysis based on the Korean data from the international service-mapping study for the survivorship care for patients with cancer after treatment completion in the Asia-Pacific Region. The data, collected from 100 Korean nurses who took care of cancer patients, were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation analysis, and multiple regression.
Results
Statistically significant relationships were found between responsibility and frequency of survivorship care (r=-.20, p=.050), between confidence and frequency of survivorship care (r=.47, p<.001), and between impediments to organization and frequency of survivorship care (r=-.22, p=.027). The frequency of survivorship care was influenced by confidence (β=-.37, p<.001) which explained about 24% of the variance of survivorship care.
Conclusion
These findings show that development of survivorship care education program for oncology nurses should be considered to increase confidence in survivorship care for oncology nurses. |
