Purpose: This study was conducted to examine the effects of an individualized educational program by multidisciplinary staffs on the needs for caring among gynecologic cancer undergoing radiotherapy.
Methods: A quasi-experimental study with nonequivalent control group pre-post test was designed. A total of 75 patients were recruited and 40 patients for experimental group and 35 patients for control group were assigned from a university hospital in G-city, South Korea from January, 2007 to December, 2007. The level of patients' need for caring on radiotherapy was measured with a 20-items questionnaire.
Results: T-test showed that patients' need was lower among the experimental group than the control group (t=23.66, p<.00). The mean difference of needs for caring between pre and post test was higher among the older than 64 years (t=-2.40, p=.019)), and patients who had not a spouse (t=-2.12 p=.037) among the total participants.
Conclusions: This multidisciplinary and individualized education program was effective on reducing the level of need for caring during radiotherapy. Therefore, further educational strategies based on patients' needs through a diverse multidisciplinary teamwork need to be developed and applied.
