The effect of hope level of surgical oncology patients with urinary tract infection on their satisfaction with life

Abstract

Background: To determine the effect of hope level of surgical oncology patients with urinary tract infection on their satisfaction with life. Methods: The study is of descriptive type. The universe of the study consisted of oncology patients who underwent surgery and had urinary tract infection in the Oncology and Infectious Diseases departments of Turgut Özal Medical Center. The sample consisted of 81 patients determined by power analysis and selected from the universe by non-probability random sampling method. The study data were collected between May 2018 and September 2018 using the Patient Identification Form, the Beck Hopelessness Scale, and the Satisfaction with Life Scale. The data were evaluated using number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, regression, and anova tests. Results: It was found that the hope level of surgical oncology patients alone had a 25.7% effect on satisfaction with life, hope level and gender had a 33.9% effect size, and hope level, gender, and marital status had a 38% effect size and were also effective on satisfaction with life scores. Conclusion: In the study, it was found that the hope level of surgical oncology patients had a major impact on their satisfaction with life. In this context, it is recommended that the awareness of nurses who care for surgical oncology patients about the concept of hope be increased and that nursing practices be planned to increase satisfaction with life by supporting hope in patients.
