Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the contents of desire to learn about breast cancer nursing. Materials and method: A total of 141 nurses who participated in the seminar on breast cancer nursing were enrolled in this study. The questionnaire consisted of the occupational backgrounds of the nurses, and 35contents that nurses want to learn in breast cancer nursing. We examined the degree of desire to learn each content and the relationship between occupational backgrounds and 35 contents of learning using a 5-point scoring system. Results: More than half of nurses strongly wanted to learn all of 35 contents. The majority of nurses wanted to learn the contents of nursing skills on disease notification, and nursing skills for psychological response. On the other hand, nurses did not want to learn the contents of consulting in support for sexual activity and nursing skills related to pregnancy and child birth. Nurses with experience of breast cancer nursing for less than 3 years wanted to learn the contents of chemotherapy and endocrine therapy more than those for over 3 years (P<0.05). Nurses for outpatients were more eager to learn the contents of chemotherapy and nursing skills for outpatients than those for inpatients (P<0.05). Nurses worked with medical specialists of breast cancer considered to learn the contents of nursing skills at disease notification and nursing skills for changed body shape more than those not worked (P<0.05). Conclusion: As the majority of the nurses have a strong motivation to learn about nursing for breast cancer patients, frequent educational chances for them must be considered properly and urgently.
