As part of a research effort directed at identifying specific nursing activities related to the subsequent health status of the patient, this study explored relationships between selected nursing activities and patient outcomes for the oncology patient who was receiving chemotherapy. The study was correlational in design and descriptive in nature. Included in the study were 57 subjects from oncology and/or medical units in public and private nonprofit general hospitals. Human subjects' clearance was obtained for the study in each participating hospital. Data were collected primarily by means of patient and nurse responses to self-administered questionnaires. In the initial phase of data analysis, zero-order correlations were obtained for each pair of nursing activity and patient outcome variables. In addition, to identify relative contributions of different nursing activities to the health status of patients, regression analyses were performed in selected situations. The content and the quality of the explanation of the treatment and care regime were observed to be correlated positively with the patient's self-esteem. The quality of the explanation was observed to be positively related to the patient's knowledge base. Involving the patient in his care plan and giving him control over the activities of the day were positively correlated with importance of having things explained to him.
作为旨在确定与患者后续健康状况相关的特定护理活动的研究工作的一部分，本研究探讨了选定的护理活动与接受化疗的肿瘤患者的患者结局之间的关系。该研究在设计上是相关性的，本质上是描述性的。研究纳入了来自公立和私立非营利性综合医院肿瘤和/或医疗科室的57名受试者。在每家参与研究的医院都获得了人体受试者许可。数据主要通过患者和护士对自行填写的问卷的回答来收集。在数据分析的初始阶段，对每对护理活动和患者结局变量进行了零阶相关性分析。此外，为了确定不同护理活动对患者健康状况的相对贡献，在选定情况下进行了回归分析。观察到治疗和护理方案解释的内容和质量与患者的自尊呈正相关。观察到解释的质量与患者的知识库呈正相关。让患者参与其护理计划并让他对当天的活动有控制权，与向他解释事情的重要性呈正相关。
