“…In our study, it was determined that nursing students had negative attitudes towards cancer. This result, which is similar to the findings of studies in the literature, supports the knowledge that nursing students have difficulties while giving care to cancer patients during clinical practice (Komprood, 2013;Sharour et al, 2017;Sürücü et al, 2021). Students should be provided with supportive approaches during clinical applications so that they can gain abilities such as providing proper information to a patient, listening to him/her, establishing empathy with him/her and identifying their needs.…”

“…Students should be provided with supportive approaches during clinical applications so that they can gain abilities such as providing proper information to a patient, listening to him/her, establishing empathy with him/her and identifying their needs. It is of importance that cancer patients should be encouraged to share their experiences with other people in society (Sürücü et al, 2021).…”

Aim:The aim of this study was to investigate the attitudes of nursing students towards cancer as well as affecting factors. Method:This descriptive study was conducted with 949 nursing students at two state universities in Turkey. The population of this study included 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th year students in the nursing programs in two universities in the academic year. In collecting data, “Demographic Information Form” and “Questionnaire for Measuring Attitudes Toward Cancer - Community Version” scales were used. The data were analysed by number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskall-Wallis H test and linear regression analysis. Mann Whitney U test with Bonferroni correction was used as post-hoc test. Findings: While 63.3% of the students were at the range of 17-20 years, 87.8 % of them were female and 36.8% of them were first year students. It was determined that 51.4% of the students participated in the care and treatment practices of a patient diagnosed with cancer during clinical practices. The mean score of the Questionnaire for Measuring Attitudes Toward Cancer was 3.23±0.47. In this study, a statistically significant relationship was found between the students’ year in the program and the subscale of impossibility of recovery, between gender and the scale, having an individual diagnosed with cancer among family members and his/her immediate environment with disclosure, and the dissemination of cancer diagnosis (p< 0.05). According to the stepwise method completed in the linear regression analysis, gender and informing a patient about his/her cancer diagnosis had a significant effect on the scale (p< 0.05). Conclusions: In this study, the students were found to have negative attitudes toward cancer. In this regard, healthcare professionals should organise training programs in order to change negative thoughts and attitudes of the students during educational processes.

“…Some studies did not report how the online survey was distributed or administered (Adriaenssens et al, 2017; Aiken et al, 2021; Luders et al, 2021; Manning et al, 2021). In addition to the previously discussed methods, one study used social media to invite students (Sürücü et al, 2021), one used a web-based survey on the intranet of a hospital (Turunen et al, 2013), and one used a cloud-based student response system in the classroom (Veigh et al, 2021). Participants were typically convenience samples that included entire groups via e-mail lists within a hospital or school, student e-mails in course learning management systems, or e-mail lists from professional organizations.…”

Background Online surveys in nursing research have both advantages and disadvantages. Reaching a sample and attaining an appropriate response rate is an ongoing challenge and necessitates careful consideration when designing a nursing research study using an online survey approach. Objective In this study, we aimed to explore response rates and survey characteristics of studies by nurse researchers that used online methodologies to survey nurses, nursing students, and nursing faculty. Methods We conducted an integrative review of research studies that used online surveys for data collection published from 2011–2021. We examined response rates and survey characteristics such as recruitment method, use of incentives, question type, length of survey, time to complete the survey, and use of reminders. Results Our review included 51 studies published by nurses with target samples of nurses, nursing students, or nursing faculty. Study sample sizes ranged from 48–29,283, the number of respondents ranged from 29–3,607, and the response rates ranged from 3.4%–98%, with an average of 42.46%. Few patterns emerged regarding recruitment or other factors to enhance response rates; only five studies used incentives. Conclusion Response rates to online surveys are unlikely to reach the rates seen in older mailed surveys. Researchers need to design online survey studies to be easily accessible, concise, and appealing to participants.

“…Further investigation into additional participant-related factors associated with these judgments and attributions is warranted. For instance, considering that past research highlighted that personality traits, empathy levels, and health literacy can impact stigmatization [ 43 , [85] , [86] , [87] ], it could be interesting to explore the involment of these traits in stigmatization attitudes toward patients with liver cancer and alcohol consumption. Additionally, implementing and evaluating stigma reduction programs for patients with preventable cancers, inspired by a successful intervention with primary care physicians [ 88 ], could be valuable.…”
