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.
