“…In another study conducted by Yeşilbalkan, Kır, Karadakovan and Uslu (2009), the knowledge of cancer patients about port catheters was insufficient (Yeşilbalkan et al, 2009). Although all members of the healthcare team are responsible for the education of the patients and their family, nurses have great responsibilities (Tan, Özdelikara & Polat, 2013;Kara & Arıkan, 2021). Similarly, according to Mercan's study (2017), port catheter training was important in the patients' compliance with treatment, and nurses, in particular, had important responsibilities.…”

Introduction: Complications related to port catheterization can be prevented or reduced in patients who are informed about port catheterization, and they can also experience less anxiety and fear. Aim: This study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between the level of knowledge about port catheterization and the level of anxiety in cancer patients with port catheters, and to determine the factors affecting it. Method: The sample of this descriptive and correlation study consisted of 136 patients receiving chemotherapy. The data was collected by the Patient Information Survey, Port Catheterization Patient Information Survey, and the Beck Anxiety Inventory. Results: Of the patients, 15.4% received training before port catheterization and the physician gave 9.6% of the training. The total mean scores of both scales were determined 20.12 ± 2.44 for the Port Catheterization Patient Information Survey and 8.17 ± 4.85 for the Beck Anxiety Inventory. In the study, the married patients’ port catheterization knowledge mean score was found to be statistically higher than that of the single patients, and the difference was significant (p < 0.05). In addition, this study found no significant relationship between port catheterization knowledge and anxiety scores (r = 0.13; p > 0.05). Conclusion: The patients' knowledge level about port catheterization was above average and their anxiety level was mild. The level of knowledge of the patients about port catheterization did not affect their anxiety levels. Nurses need to consider individual characteristics and disease-related variables in the education of patients with port catheters

Objective: The organizing patient education in accordance with the information needs of the patients can contribute positively to the expected patient care outcomes and increase the patient satisfaction and nursing care quality. The aim of the study was to evaluate the learning needs of hematology patients receiving chemotherapy treatment and affecting factors. Methods: The research is a descriptive cross-sectional study. It was conducted at a university hospital between March and June 2021. The study sample consisted of 130 patients who applied to the hematology outpatient clinic to receive chemotherapy treatment. Data was collected using the Patient Information Form and the Patient Learning Needs Scale. Results: The patients of 33.1% was received training on self-care management during the disease process. More than half of the sample (51.2%) stated that they received training from physicians and nurses, and they received training mostly on the subjects related to their diseases (73.8%). The sample of 37.2% found the training they received completely sufficient. The mean total score of the patients from the Patient Learning Needs Scale was 205.08±41.01. The highest and the lowest sub-dimension mean scores obtained from the scale, respectively; Treatment and Complications (38.66±7.23) and Feelings related to Condition (19.56±5.12) were sub-dimensions. In the study, ther was a statistically significant difference between the mean total score of the scale and gender, time of diagnosis, and the person living with (p=0.043; p=0.017; p=0.040, respectively). Conclusion: The level of learning needs of hematology patients receiving chemotherapy treatment were high. The most important subjects that patients should be informed about were treatment and complications, and quality of life. It is recommended to plan patient education in accordance with the individual learning needs of the patients. Determining which subjects patients want to be informed about and giving priority to these subjects by nurses can make education more effective and productive.
