To investigate the views of undergraduate nursing students at the Patras Higher Technological Education Institution (HTEI), Greece, on the subject of Nursing Oncology, as well as their attitudes towards cancer.
In total, 105 students of the last year participated in the study. All participants were anonymously administered a specifically designed questionnaire including various educational and practical training aspects.
Data analysis revealed inadequacies in Oncology education and highlighted the need for improving preclinical training and developing students' skills with regard to patients' care and the management of various psychological and ethical issues. Furthermore, suggestions were made for increasing Oncology teaching staff, cooperation among subject specialists, increasing the hours devoted to Nursing Oncology, enhancing the basic and clinical courses, and introducing new subjects in the undergraduate curriculum.
In conclusion, a well-organized Nursing Oncology education at the Nursing School of Patras HTEl should combine the theoretical background with practical training so as to prevent fragmentation of Oncology as an independent subject and its incorporation into other disciplines.
调查希腊帕特雷高等技术教育机构(HTEI)护理专业本科学生对肿瘤护理主题的看法,以及他们对癌症的态度。
共有105名最后一年的学生参与了该研究。所有参与者均匿名填写一份专门设计的问卷,内容包括各种教育和实践培训方面。
数据分析揭示了肿瘤学教育中的不足之处,并强调需要改进临床前培训,培养学生在患者护理以及处理各种心理和伦理问题方面的技能。此外,还提出了增加肿瘤学教学人员、学科专家之间开展合作、增加肿瘤护理课程时长、加强基础和临床课程以及在本科课程中引入新学科等建议。
总之,帕特雷HTEI护理学院组织良好的肿瘤护理教育应将理论背景与实践培训相结合,以防止肿瘤学作为一门独立学科被拆分并融入其他学科。
