The office-based oncology nurse plays an increasingly significant role in the treatment of patients with cancer as the focus of health care shifts from the inpatient to the outpatient arena. Yet the role of the office-based oncology nurse is seldom addressed. In 1989, a survey was undertaken to examine the range of tasks involved in, the expectations and disappointments associated with, and the resulting job satisfaction from the role. A random sample of self-identified, office-based oncology nurses received the survey. A total of 192 nurses responded; 87% of the respondents indicated a high level of job satisfaction. Salary analysis showed wages to be comparable to those paid to inpatient oncology nurses. The opportunity to work with patients throughout the phases of disease was identified as the most gratifying aspect of the respondents' jobs. The opportunity for better work hours and more professional independence were frequently cited benefits. The survey's results reveal the evolution of the office-based oncology nurse's role into one of a multifaceted, independent practitioner.
随着医疗保健的重点从住院治疗转向门诊治疗，在办公室工作的肿瘤护士在癌症患者的治疗中发挥着越来越重要的作用。然而，在办公室工作的肿瘤护士的角色却很少被提及。1989年，进行了一项调查，以研究该角色所涉及的任务范围、与之相关的期望和失望，以及由此产生的工作满意度。对自我认定的在办公室工作的肿瘤护士进行了随机抽样调查。共有192名护士回复；87%的受访者表示工作满意度很高。薪资分析表明，其工资与住院肿瘤护士相当。在疾病的各个阶段与患者合作的机会被认为是受访者工作中最令人满足的方面。更好的工作时间和更多的职业独立性机会经常被提及是其好处。调查结果揭示了在办公室工作的肿瘤护士的角色已演变为多面的独立从业者之一。
