In-depth interviews with a sample of 10 nurses working permanent night duty in a British regional oncology and radiotherapy hospital reported that a significant part of their job involved psychological support for those patients who were awake and experiencing stress. The respondents explained that this psychological work was often disregarded and/or went unrecognized by the nursing staff on day duty, an attitude that could jeopardize the continuity of care of cancer patients. The findings stem from the author's doctoral dissertation concerning the role of the cancer nurse in relation to stress and the person with cancer, and they lay the foundation for further studies into the nature of the nurse's support role of cancer patients at night and in different health-care settings.
对英国一家地区肿瘤与放射治疗医院的10名长期值夜班护士进行的深入访谈显示，她们工作的很大一部分是为那些清醒且承受压力的患者提供心理支持。受访者解释说，这项心理工作常常被日班护理人员忽视和/或未得到认可，这种态度可能会危及癌症患者护理的连续性。这些研究结果源于作者关于癌症护士在压力与癌症患者关系中所扮演角色的博士论文，为进一步研究护士在夜间及不同医疗环境下对癌症患者的支持作用的本质奠定了基础。
