本研究之目的旨在了解護理人員對化學治療之知識、態度及其影響因素，並探討 知 識與態度之相關性。研究過程係採問卷調查法，對中部某醫學中心的護理人員發出215份問 卷，並獲得有效問卷196份。 究結果顯示(一)護理人員對化學治療知識方面:(1)得分率偏低僅有55.6%。於學校中曾 接受這方面教導的佔66.3%，曾參與化學治療研習會者僅佔6.1%，認為醫院在職教育中化學 治療課程不能滿足臨床需要者佔84.7%。(2)化學治療知識項目中以「安全給藥及防護措施」得 分率最高是62.4%，「化學治療藥物」得分率最低僅48.1%。(3)護理人員對化學治療知識會因 教育程度、是否參加化學治療研習會及工作單位之不同而有顯著差異(P<.05)。(二)護理人員 對化學治療態度方面:(1)得分率依序為對化學治療之臨床應用態度69.8%，對化學治療之副作 用及護理態度69.6%，對安全給藥及防護措施態度68.8%，對化學治療藥物之態度65.3%，對化 學治療之照顧能力與信心61.6%，對化學治療之感受56.8%。(2)有癌症護理經驗、有執行化學 治療經驗、親友曾接受化學治療、及曾參加化學治療研習會的護理人員，對化學治療的態度 較趨向正向。(3)護理人員不願意照顧接受化學治療病人之前三個主要原因依序為:害怕受到 化學治療藥物的傷害、化學治療產生的副作用太大、影響護理人員的情緒與心情。(三)護理 人員對化學治療的知識與其對化學治療的態度有顯著正相關(P<.05)。

　　　　　The purposes of this study were to investigate knowledge, attitudes and their related factors toward chemotherapy among nurses and the relationship between knowledge and attitudes. 215 nurses working in a medical center in central Taiwan were selected by random sampling. 196 questionnaires form the basis for data analysis. The results were: 1. The average score was 55.6 on a 100 point scale, 66.3 % of nurses had taken the courses for chemotherapy at school, 6.1 % of nurses attended chemotherapy semminar, 84.7% of nurses were not satisfied with chemotherapy courses arranged by hospital. 2. The highest average score of knowledge toward chemotherapy was the item of administering drug safetly and prevention intervention (62.4%), the lowerest score of knowledge was the item of drugs of chemotherapy. 3. There were significant differences in knowledge toward chemotherapy among different educational backgrounds, depending on whether or not nurses had attended a chemotherapy semminar, and on different working units (p<.05). 4. The most frequently cited attitude toward chemotherapy was the attitude toward clinical application of chemotherapy (69.8 %). The other attitudes were side effects of chemotherapy and nursing care (69.6 %), administering drugs safetly and prevention intervention (68.8%), chemotherapy drugs (65.3%), ability and faith in care of patients receiving chemotherapy (61.6%), and perception of chemotherapy (56.8%) respectively. 5. The nurses who had experience in cancer nursing and chemotherapy ,whose relatives have had chemotherapy , and had attended a semminar before, had a more positive attitude toward chemotherapy. 6. The major three causes of nurse not being willing to care for patients receiving chemotherapy were: fear of injury from chemotherapy, side effects of chemotherapy, emotion of nurses affected by chemotherapy. 7 There was a statistically significant, positive relationship between knowledge and attitude (p<.05).
