ÖZET

Amaç:

Bu çalışma kemoterapi alan kanser hastalarının konfor düzeyini ve bunu etkileyen faktörleri değerlendirmek amacı ile yapıldı.

Yöntemler:

Çalışma kanser kemoterapisi alan 213 hasta ile gerçekleştirildi. Çalışma, kesitsel ve tanımlayıcı tipte yapıldı. Hastalara yüz yüze görüşme tekniği ile Hasta Bilgi Formu ve Genel Konfor Ölçeği uygulandı. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde frekans, yüzde, t testi, tek yönlü varyans analizi, Mann-Whitney U testi, Kruskal-Wallis H testi, Dunnet T3 Post Hoc testi analizi testleri kullanıldı.

Bulgular:

Hastaların Genel Konfor Ölçeği puan ortalaması 2,93±0,35’tir. Hastaların psikospritüel konfor boyutu en yüksek düzeyde (39,72±5,87) iken çevresel konfor boyutu en düşük düzeydedir (35,58±6,45). Hastaların konfor düzeyini cinsiyet, yaş ve meslek anlamlı olarak etkilerken (p<0,05); medeni durum, eğitim düzeyi, evde birlikte yaşanan kişiler, kanser türü ve kanser süresi anlamlı olarak etkilememiştir (p>0,05).

Sonuç:

Hastaların konfor düzeyi orta düzeydedir. Kanser hastalarının konfor gereksinimleri belirlenerek konfor düzeylerini artırabilecek uygulamaların yapılması önerilir.
