Area of Science:
- Oncology Nursing
- Healthcare Communication
- Patient Care
Background:
- Effective communication is vital in healthcare, enhancing patient-caregiver relationships and welfare.
- Prognosis-related communication (PRC) is a critical aspect of patient care.
- This study explored oncology nurses' experiences with PRC.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore oncology nurses' experiences with prognosis-related communication (PRC).
- To identify challenges and needs in PRC from the nurses' perspective.
Main Methods:
- Phenomenological research design utilizing online surveys and focus groups.
- 248 oncology nurses participated in the online survey.
- Five focus groups (6-8 participants each) were conducted for theme refinement, achieving data saturation.
Main Results:
- Participants were predominantly female with extensive nursing and oncology experience.
- Key themes identified: importance of collaboration, impact of PRC, and communication of prognostic information.
- A significant majority (60%) of nurses reported no formal training in PRC.
Conclusions:
- Nurses' involvement in PRC is crucial for effective patient care.
- There is a clear need to enhance physicians' knowledge and attitudes regarding nurse engagement in PRC.
- Improving formal education and training for nurses in PRC is recommended.
