Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the quality of patient-centered nursing care by cancer patients who were hospitalized for operation. Methods: This study was a descriptive research. The subjects were 171 cancer patients who received operation. The quality of patient-centered care was measured including individualization, proficiency, responsiveness, and coordination. Results: The average age of the subjects was 56 years, and the subjects comprised gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, and breast cancer patients. The quality of patient-centered nursing care perceived by cancer patients was 5.18 ± 0.81. The education level was a meaningful variable to the quality of patient-centered nursing care by multivariate analysis ( p=.020). Conclusion: The quality of patient-centered nursing perceived by cancer patients was high in individualization, proficiency, and responsiveness, and relatively low in coordination. The difference in nursing staffing has a great influence on the perception of the quality of nursing. We propose studies for the recognition of oncology nurses in the quality of patient-centered nursing and the development of strategies that can provide patient-centered nursing to improve the quality of oncology nursing.
