The purpose of the study was to compare symptoms, medical therapies, and nursing interventions with terminal cancer patients during the last four weeks of their lives in a hospice unit and general units. For the descriptive survey study, data were collected by reviewing the charts of 243 patients who died of terminal cancer at K hospital in Seoul. The data was analyzed using Chi-square test and t-test. The study findings are summarized as follows: There were higher frequencies in physical symptoms of constipation, itching sensation, pain, sleeping disturbance, sore, and urinary difficulty for those patients in the hospice unit than those patient in general units. All emotional symptoms were recorded significantly higher for those patients in the hospice unit than those in general units. Regarding the major medical treatments, pain control was used significantly more for those patients in the hospice unit but antibiotic therapy and resuscitation were used significantly more for those patients in general units. The hospice unit provided more comprehensive nursing interventions including psychological, spiritual, and family cares as well as physiological care for terminal cancer patients. The facts showed that those patients who need hospice care in general units should be referred to the hospice unite at an appropriate time.
