The purpose of this study was to reveal experiences of caregivers whose spouses were receiving chemotherapy for colorectal cancer and their expectations from nursing services.
This is a qualitative study. The caregivers were interviewed at their home. Sampling criteria were volunteering to participate in the study, being able to understand Turkish, not having speech or hearing problems and offering care to spouses with primary colorectal cancer. The interviews continued until concepts likely to be responses to research questions repeatedly appeared. Fourteen caregivers with spouses receiving chemotherapy for colorectal cancer comprised the study sample. Data were collected with a descriptive characteristics form and a semi-structured interview at in-depth interviews after making appointments with the caregivers on the phone. The steps followed in the content analysis were coding data, an organization of codes and themes, description of findings and evaluation of findings.
Experiences of the caregivers whose spouses were receiving chemotherapy for colorectal cancer and their expectations from nursing services were found to comprise the following themes "Facing the Disease," "Difficulties Encountered," "Continuing to Live," and "Provision of Health Care Services."
The results of the study revealed that cancer and its treatment affected not only cancer patients but also their spouses offering care. Nurses giving care at oncology clinics, public health centers, and home can make care plans based on the four themes emerging in this study and can detect problems earlier and create appropriate solutions to them. They will contribute to the literature revealing needs of people offering care to oncology patients as well.
本研究旨在揭示配偶接受结直肠癌化疗的照料者的经历以及他们对护理服务的期望。
这是一项定性研究。在照料者家中对其进行访谈。抽样标准为自愿参与研究、能够理解土耳其语、没有言语或听力问题且为患有原发性结直肠癌的配偶提供照料。访谈持续进行，直到可能回答研究问题的概念反复出现。14名配偶接受结直肠癌化疗的照料者构成了研究样本。通过描述性特征表和半结构化访谈收集数据，在通过电话与照料者预约后进行深入访谈。内容分析中遵循的步骤包括对数据进行编码、对代码和主题进行组织、对研究结果进行描述以及对研究结果进行评估。
发现配偶接受结直肠癌化疗的照料者的经历以及他们对护理服务的期望包括以下主题：“面对疾病”“遇到的困难”“继续生活”和“提供医疗保健服务”。
研究结果表明，癌症及其治疗不仅影响癌症患者，也影响提供照料的配偶。在肿瘤诊所、公共卫生中心和家中提供护理的护士可以根据本研究中出现的四个主题制定护理计划，并且可以更早地发现问题并制定适当的解决方案。它们也将为揭示肿瘤患者照料者需求的文献做出贡献。
