“…The literature addressing the relationship between mformation and effective coping is comprised largely of articles providing anectodal accounts of the benefits accrued by patients participating in education programmes (Satterwhite et al, 1980;Blumberg & Gentry, 1991;Grassman, 1993). Although the interventions in these descriptive studies appeared beneficial, they need to be incorporated into controlled experimental stuhes in order to evaluate their effectiveness.…”

This paper reviews the literature concerning the role of information in facilitating patients' adaptation to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The relationship between information and patient self-efficacy is examined, and the information requirements of cancer patients receiving treatment are reviewed. Finally, studies evaluating informational interventions for patients receiving either chemotherapy or radiotherapy are critiqued before recommendations for practice are formulated.

“…Larger samples are also required for identifying and validating defining characteristics and nursing diagnoses. Blumberg and Gentry (1991) emphasize the changing role of nurses and their opportunity to affect the healthcarti system in outpatient settings. Cordon (1990) notes the need to clarify terms used to describe defining characteristics as well as diagnostic concepts.…”

A descriptive study using clinical methodology was conducted to identify and describe core and site‐specific symptoms reported by 15 patients with cancer of the digestive organs who received external radiation therapy. A 47‐item Radiation Symptom Scale was designed by the investigators for this study. Symptoms identified by patients with a mean occurrence of at least “sometimes” were considered potential defining characteristics and were submitted to a panel of experts for identification of nursing diagnoses. Seventeen nursing diagnoses, with their associated defining characteristics, were identified and classified within eight Functional Health Patterns (FHP). Half of the nursing diagnoses were formulated within the Nutritional‐Metabolic and Elimination patterns. Four of the FHPs were related to primarily functional patterns; four were primarily psychological‐behavioral. Results of the study describe the nursing needs of patients who receive radiotherapy to the digestive organs.

“…The use of expert panels as well as other research validation methods demands the examination and definition of defining characteristics if the findings of future research studies are to be valid and able to be confidently tested and applied in clinical practice (Grant & Kinney, 1991;Mehmert & Delaney, 1991). Blumberg and Gentry (1991) emphasize the changing role of nurses and their opportunity to affect the healthcarti system in outpatient settings. Research findings, including those related to nursing diagnosis, will help to direct changes in ambulatory nursing care for patients with cancer.…”
