| description | Determined the need of hospitalized cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy is
crucial in order to provide a holistic nursing care. From the researcher knowledge,
there have been no published studies to determine the needs of hospitalized cancer
patients undergoing chemotherapy in Malaysia. The aim of this study was to assess
the needs of hospitalised cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy at oncology
wards of Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM). Significant difference
between gender and different aged groups towards needs level also was determined.
A cross sectional survey on cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy (n=73) at
oncology wards of HUSM was done by using a self-administered structured
questionnaire. Data was analyzed using the Statistical Package Social Science (SPSS)
software version 19.0. From this study population (n=73), 39 were male (39%) and
34 were nurses (46.6%). The Independent T-test had been performed. However, from
the finding, there were no significant difference (t (71) = 1.91, p = 0.060) was found
between male (mean= 87. 74, S.D.= 13.52) and females (mean= 80.53, S.D. = 14.19)
in terms of their needs level. The finding suggests that there are no sex differences in
the level of needs for the hospitalized cancer patients that undergoing chemotherapy.
Result finding from One way ANOV A showed that, the needs level among the six
aged group were significantly different F (5,67) = 3.16, p = 0.01. Since the
probability of error is < 0.05, the null hypothesis is rejected. The mean score for
group 31-40 years was the lowest compared to the other aged group. Therefore, the
patients within the aged 31 to 40 years had the lowest needs level. While the mean
score for group 61-70 years (M=90.27, S.D =8.40, n=22) was the highest compared
to the others aged group. The finding show that hospitalized cancer patients
undergoing chemotherapy among the aged 61 to 70 years had the highest needs level. |
