Abstract

OBJECTIVES The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the knowledge and attitudes of cancer patients regarding the implantable port catheter. METHODS This descriptive study was carried out at a large university hospital in İzmir. The convenience sample consisted of 96 cancer patients who were administered chemotherapy via a port catheter. Data were collected using a researcher-developed questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation test. RESULTS Of the 96 cancer patients who participated in the study, 56.3% were female, 57.3% were 39-59 years of age, 29.2% had completed primary school education, 83.3% were unemployed, and 43.7% had a gastrointestinal system cancer. In this study, the port catheter was implanted due to long-term continuous intravenous therapy. The correct response rate for the port questionnaire, on average, was 54.1% (±34.42). When the knowledge scores were analyzed according to patients' background characteristics, the only significant relationship determined was between knowledge scores and the time of catheter placement. CONCLUSION This study revealed that cancer patients have insufficient knowledge about the port catheter. We suggest that a protocol for use of the port system should be developed, and written material, such as in brochure form, should be prepared according to the patient's treatment plan. The brochure should be provided to patients in addition to verbal information regarding the port catheter.

Onkoloji hastalarının implante port kateter hakkındaki bilgileri ve davranışları

Abstract

AMAÇ Bu çalışmada, kanserli hastaların implante port katetere ilişkin bilgi ve davranışları değerlendirildi. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM Bu tanımlayıcı çalışma İzmir'de büyük bir üniversite hastanesinde yapıldı. Örneklem grubunu port kateter yoluyla tedavi gören 96 kanser hastası oluşturdu. Veriler, araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen soru formu ile toplandı ve tanımlayıcı istatistikler ve Pearson korelasyon katsayısı kullanılarak analiz edildi. BULGULAR Araştırmaya katılan 96 kanserli hastanın %56.3'ü kadın, %57.3'ü 39 ve 49 yaş grupları arasında, %29.2'si ilk öğretim mezunu, %83.3'ü çalışmayan ve gastrointestinal sistem kanserliydi. Bu çalışmada, port kateter hastalara uzun süreli intravenöz tedavi amacıyla takıldı. Port anketine ilişkin doğru cevap oranı ortalaması %54.1'di (±34.42). Hastaların bilgileri geçmiş özellikleriyle analiz edildiğinde, hastaların port katetere ilişkin bilgileri sadece kateterin yerleştirilme zamanı ile pozitif olarak ilişkiliydi. SONUÇ Bu çalışma kanserli hastaların port kateter hakkındaki bilgilerinin yetersiz olduğunu gösterdi. Biz port sistemin kullanımına ilişkin protokollerin geliştirilmesini, broşür gibi yazılı materyallerin hastaların gereksinimlerine ve tadavi planına göre hazırlanmasını ve hastalara verilmesini öneriyoruz. Hastalara sözel bilgilendirmenin yanı sıra broşür verilmelidir.
