Supportive Care Needs and Symptom Assessment Among Patients Receiving Chemotherapy

Öz

The study aimed to examine the relationship between supportive care needs and symptom assessment among patients receiving chemotherapy. A cross-sectional and correlational design was employed with a sample of one 108 outpatients undergoing chemotherapy. Data were collected using the Patient Information Form, the Supportive Care Needs Survey-Short Form and the Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale. Descriptive statistics, independent samples Student’s t-test, one-way ANOVA, and advanced multiple regression analysis were used for data analysis. The sample had a mean age of 50.05 years, a mean time since diagnosis of 18.93 months, a mean duration of chemotherapy of 16.40 months, and a cumulative total of 16.69 chemotherapy cycles; 33.3% were diagnosed at stage 3. The total mean score for supportive care needs was 85.33 (SD=24.77), while the mean total mean score for symptom assessment was 60.68 (SD=19.12). A moderate, positive, and statistically significant correlation was identified between supportive care needs and symptom assessment scores (r=.449**; p=.000). In addition, several symptom variables explained 43.7% of the variance in supportive care needs (R²=.437; p<.001). Outpatients receiving chemotherapy demonstrated high levels of supportive care needs, and increases in supportive care needs were associated with more intense symptom experiences. Symptom experiences explained a meaningful proportion of variance in supportive care needs, underscoring symptom assessment as a critical determinant in patient care.
