The purpose of this part of a larger study on breast cancer patients' recovery was to analyse the support that nurses offer breast cancer patients before, during, and after their hospitalization, as seen from the nurses' viewpoint. The sample group consisted of 125 registered and radiological nurses at university and regional hospitals in southwestern Finland. A questionnaire was devised and mailed to the subjects. The statistical analysis of the data was based on percentage distributions, with correlations, cross-tabulation, and loglinear models. The nurses reported that patient support is inadequate before and after hospitalization. However, most nurses maintained that the patients were well supported in hospital by the health care staff. The same nurses considered that their duty was to offer information and try to ensure continuity of care for the patient. They regarded their work as challenging, and they paid more attention to patients' relatives, too. However, there were differences of opinion as to whether the nurses actually gave support or not. We concluded that the concept support and its different implications for different groups (e.g. patients, nurses) must be studied in more detail, since the nurses' viewpoint is the one upon which care is currently based.
这项关于乳腺癌患者康复的大型研究的这部分内容的目的，是从护士的视角分析护士在乳腺癌患者住院前、住院期间和住院后为其提供的支持。样本组由芬兰西南部大学医院和地区医院的125名注册护士和放射科护士组成。设计了一份问卷并邮寄给研究对象。数据的统计分析基于百分比分布，并采用了相关性分析、交叉制表和对数线性模型。护士们报告称，患者在住院前和住院后得到的支持不足。然而，大多数护士认为患者在医院得到了医护人员的良好支持。同样这些护士认为他们的职责是提供信息并努力确保对患者护理的连续性。他们认为自己的工作具有挑战性，并且也更加关注患者的亲属。然而，对于护士是否实际提供了支持，存在意见分歧。我们得出结论，由于护士的观点是当前护理工作的依据，因此必须更详细地研究“支持”这一概念及其对不同群体（如患者、护士）的不同含义。
