Abstract
Objective To explore the development and management of cancer day-chemotherapy ward in Sichuan Province so as to provide a basis for standardized development. Methods From January to November 2018, this study selected totals of 64 ClassⅡ orⅢ hospitals from 21 cities and autonomous prefectures in Sichuan Province by convenience sampling as subjects. All of subjects were investigated with the self-designed Cancer Day-Chemotherapy Ward Management Questionnaire. Frequency and percentage were used to descriptive statistics. Results In Sichuan, there were 15 ClassⅡ orⅢ hospitals with cancer day-chemotherapy service distributed in developed culture and economic areas of Central Sichuan. Patients with clear consciousness, light condition and self-care met inclusive criteria were selected in day-chemotherapy ward by all hospitals, and 40.00% (6/15) hospitals not accepted patients with the initial chemotherapy. Management modes were mainly day-care ward in words-oriented; staffing were mainly professional nurses and rotation doctors. There were 60.00% (9/15) of hospitals installed with the humanistic equipment and emergency area; 40.00% (6/15) of hospitals centralized allocation of chemotherapeutic drugs; 80.00% (12/15) of hospitals formulated quality control standards. Conclusions Cancer day-chemotherapy wards are uneven distributed in Sichuan Province. There are differences in the development models, consulting models, management models, staffing, environments, occupational protections and quality control among hospitals. Management needs to be standardized further. Unified basic standards and management rules should be built to promote the development of cancer day-chemotherapy ward.
