The aim of this review is to identify assessment instruments that can be used for analyzing sequences and can be applied to research into nurse-patient communication in cancer care. A systematic search of the literature revealed a variety of methods and instruments applicable to studies recording nurse-patient interaction. The studies that were qualitative in nature offered valuable information on observational research in general, on procedures relating to informed consent and observational arrangements in nursing practice. The quantitative studies provided an insight into the content and structure of the interaction by describing communication concepts or by frequency counts of previously determined behaviours. Systematic research into interaction sequences was not found. However, some of the quantitative instruments identified could be adapted for this purpose. The complexity and time-consuming nature of observational research highlight the need for efficiency. For instance a combination of quantitative and qualitative instruments could be considered.
本综述的目的是确定可用于分析序列且可应用于癌症护理中护患沟通研究的评估工具。对文献的系统检索揭示了适用于记录护患互动研究的多种方法和工具。定性研究总体上为观察性研究、与知情同意相关的程序以及护理实践中的观察安排提供了有价值的信息。定量研究通过描述沟通概念或对先前确定行为的频次计数,深入了解了互动的内容和结构。未发现对互动序列的系统研究。然而,所确定的一些定量工具可为此目的进行改编。观察性研究的复杂性和耗时性凸显了效率的必要性。例如,可以考虑将定量和定性工具结合使用。
