Family caregivers of terminally ill cancer patients prepare for a patient’s death. Nursing-care for preparedness is effective for their psychological health. This study aims to structuralize nursing-care for preparedness and extract related factors while presenting the implications for improved quality of care. Data from a cross-sectional survey of general ward and palliative care unit nurses in designated cancer care hospitals (n=561) was analyzed with exploratory factor analysis and multiple regression analyses. The results of the analysis, the structure was classified into “Nurse-centered support” and “Support through inter-professional work.” Both supports were practiced significantly more frequently in palliative care units than general wards. Related factors in general wards were; communication skills, cooperation with doctors, the existence of certified nurse/certified nurse specialists as consultants, attitudes toward care of the dying, frequency of death conferences, and cooperation with specialist cancer counselors. Therefore, the results can help improve the quality of family care in palliative care, especially in general wards. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
