The purposes of this descriptive study were: (1) to compare the self-selected needs of 69 patients with cancer, 31 from a nonprofit hospice, and 38 from a university cancer center located in the mid-south; and (2) to establish the reliability of the Cancer Patient Need Survey for hospice patients. Patients completed the Cancer Patient Need Survey and a demographic data form. Hospice and clinic patients rated the category of coping needs most important. Clinic patients also ranked the category of information needs as a priority, but did not find these needs as well met. Both groups ranked as their top individual needs support from family and friends, and a patient caregiver. Reliabilities of the instrument for the groups range from 0.91 to 0.93. The Cancer Patient Need Survey is a useful instrument for assessing and testing the needs of clinic patients, but additional work needs to be done in modifying the instrument for use with hospice patients.
（1）比较69名癌症患者自我选择的需求，其中31名来自一家非营利性临终关怀机构，38名来自位于中南部的一所大学癌症中心；（2）确定针对临终关怀患者的癌症患者需求调查问卷的可靠性。患者完成了癌症患者需求调查问卷和一份人口统计学数据表格。临终关怀机构和诊所的患者将应对需求类别评为最重要。诊所患者也将信息需求类别列为优先事项，但发现这些需求没有得到很好的满足。两组都将家人、朋友和患者护理人员的支持列为他们最首要的个人需求。该工具在两组中的可靠性范围为0.91至0.93。癌症患者需求调查问卷是评估和测试诊所患者需求的有用工具，但在修改该工具以用于临终关怀患者方面还需要做更多工作。
