がん化学療法看護のエキスパートナースが大切にしている実践

To clarify the practical approaches of nurses in cancer chemotherapy, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 nurses certified for cancer chemotherapy in Tokushima Prefecture. The interview data were classified into the following categories : [not neglecting any step, as failure is unacceptable], [accurately predicting the symptoms of chemotherapy, rather than simply waiting for patients to report them], [making efforts to fulfill patients' desire to live], [bearing a heavy responsibility for handling toxic drugs], and [playing a role in generalizing chemotherapy]. The results suggest that the practical approaches of nurses in cancer chemotherapy three features place importance on “achieving positive effects while minimizing risks”, “not narrowing down the scope of life”, and “reducing resistance to chemotherapy”.
