Amaç: Bu araştırmanın amacı ayaktan kemoterapi tedavisi alan kanser hastalarının hemşirelik bakımı ile ilgili deneyim ve düşüncelerini belirlemektir.

Yöntemler: Fenomenolojik tipte nitel araştırma yöntemi kullanılarak tamamlanan bu araştırmada ayaktan kemoterapi ünitesinde tedavi alan 13 hasta yer aldı. Veriler Eylül-Kasım 2023 tarihleri arasında yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu ve ses kaydı yapılarak toplandı. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde betimsel analiz yöntemi kullanıldı. Araştırmada gönüllülük esas alınarak katılımcılardan yazılı onam alındı.

Bulgular: Çalışmadaki hastaların %61.5’i kadın, ilkokul mezunu ve şehir merkezinde yaşamaktadır. %53.8’i üçüncü evre kanser hastası ve ortalama 36 aydır kemoterapi tedavisi almaktadır. Kemoterapi tedavisi alan hastalar; hemşirelerin kendilerine karşı ilgili olduklarını belirttiler. Hemşirelerin uyguladıkları bakımı iyi olarak değerlendirdiler. Hemşirelerden en büyük beklentilerinin sabır, anlayış ve güler yüz olduğunu ifade ettiler. Tedavi süresince hemşirelerle iletişimlerinde sorun yaşamadıklarını ancak fiziki şartların uygunsuzluğu, hasta yoğunluğu, hemşire sayısının yetersiz olması ve tedavide kullanılan cihazların seslerinden ötürü çoğu zaman iletişim problemleri yaşayabildiklerini dile getirdiler (P<,05).

Sonuç: Sonuç olarak, hemşirelik bakımının kalitesinin artması için kemoterapi ünitelerinin fiziki şartlarının iyileştirilmesi ve hemşire sayısının yeterli düzeye getirilmesini öneririz.

Nursing Care from the Perspective of Cancer Patients

Objective: This study aimed to determine the experiences and thoughts of cancer patients receiving outpatient chemotherapy about nursing care.

Methods: This study, completed using a phenomenological qualitative research method, included 13 patients receiving treatment in an outpatient chemotherapy unit. Data were collected between September and November 2023 using a semi-structured interview form and audio recording. The descriptive analysis method was used to evaluate the data. Written informed consent was obtained from the participants based on volunteerism.

Results: 53.8% had third-stage cancer and received chemotherapy treatment for an average of 36 months. Patients receiving chemotherapy treatment stated that the nurses were interested in them. They evaluated the care provided by the nurses as good. Their most significant expectations from nurses were patience, understanding, and a smiling face. They stated that they did not have any problems in their communication with nurses during treatment. However, they often experienced communication problems due to inappropriate physical conditions, patient density, insufficient number of nurses, and the noise of the devices used in treatment.

Conclusion: As a result, we recommend that the physical conditions of chemotherapy units be improved, and the number of nurses brought to an adequate level to increase the quality of nursing care.
