Breast cancer patients' opinions of the support they receive have been studied from the viewpoint of both patients and nurses. However, few studies have compared the opinions of both patients and nurses. A project was designed to investigate the support provided for breast cancer patients in Finland and the evaluation of this support by patients and nurses. Two questionnaires were developed, and 109 patients and 125 nurses responded. Both patients and nurses reported that patient support was insufficient before and after hospitalization. Patients primarily expected informative support, whereas nurses underlined the role of psychological support. Furthermore, during hospitalization patients felt that they did not receive the support that they needed, whereas nurses felt that they provided a great deal of support. The theoretical assumption was that patients find it important that the health-care staff have a pleasant and friendly attitude toward their patients. This topic was one of the variables measured. The current study confirmed previous research that patients consider the attitude of the health-care staff important for their recovery. It was found in the statistical analysis that both groups of subjects usually stressed the importance of the same support-related issues. However, as patients and nurses seem to disagree on the most important forms of support, further studies are needed to explore the underscoring factors.
已经从患者和护士两个角度研究了乳腺癌患者对其所获支持的看法。然而，很少有研究对患者和护士的看法进行比较。设计了一个项目来调查芬兰为乳腺癌患者提供的支持以及患者和护士对这种支持的评价。编制了两份问卷，109名患者和125名护士做出了回应。患者和护士均报告称，住院前后患者支持不足。患者主要期望获得信息性支持，而护士则强调心理支持的作用。此外，住院期间患者感觉自己没有得到所需的支持，而护士则感觉自己提供了大量支持。理论假设是患者认为医护人员对患者态度亲切友好很重要。这一主题是所测量的变量之一。当前研究证实了先前的研究，即患者认为医护人员的态度对其康复很重要。统计分析发现，两组受试者通常都强调相同的与支持相关问题的重要性。然而，由于患者和护士似乎在最重要的支持形式上存在分歧，因此需要进一步研究以探究其中的突出因素。
