This study gains insight into the role of the breast care nurse specialist through an analysis of thank you letters written by women with breast cancer in a tertiary hospital in Israel. Descriptive content analysis was used to analyze 125 thank you letters. The findings revealed three aspects of the role of the breast care nurse specialist: instrumental, cognitive, and emotional. The women described these aspects as "paving the way through bureaucracy" (instrumental), being a "traffic light at a crossroad in life" (cognitive), and treating each one of them "as if I am your only patient" (emotional). This analysis highlighted the significance of the breast care nurse specialist in a holistic and integrative role that fills a gap within the biomedical healthcare system. Transferability of the findings to other nurse specialist roles in different clinical settings should be investigated.
本研究通过分析以色列一家三级医院的乳腺癌女性患者所写的感谢信，深入了解了乳腺护理专科护士的角色。采用描述性内容分析法对 125 封感谢信进行了分析。研究结果揭示了乳腺护理专科护士的三个角色方面：工具性、认知性和情感性。女性患者将这些方面描述为“在官僚主义中开辟道路”（工具性）、“在人生的十字路口充当交通信号灯”（认知性）以及“像对待唯一的患者一样对待每一个人”（情感性）。这一分析凸显了乳腺护理专科护士在整体和综合角色中的重要性，填补了生物医学保健系统中的一个空白。应该研究这些发现对其他不同临床环境中专科护士角色的可转移性。
