Action note: In: Summary: ABSTRACT: This study was conducted to evaluate the comfort and the desired nursing care of 100 cancer patients from Rizal Medical Center based on Kolcaba's comfort theory. Data were gathered from October to November 2014 using the Hospice Comfort Questionnaire designed and tested by Kolcaba, Dowd and Steiner (2001). Results showed that generally the respondents-cancer patients belonged to yhe middle adult group, female, high school graduate, and belonged to the middle or average family in terms of economic status. The comfort state of the respondent-cancer patients in the context of physical, psycho-spiritual, social and environment when grouped according to the relief and transcendence types of comfort were all interpreted as patient is comfortable. The null hypothesis was accepted and that there were no significant differences between the comfort states of the respondent-cancer patients when grouped according to their profiles. The respondents cancer patients desire to be cared by nurses were grouped into three (3) major themes which are : 1) Family involvement, 2) Holistic approach, and 3) Meaningful nurse-patient interaction. One premise that can be generated from the results of this study was respondents-being in the same stage of their disease has generally similar desires for comfort although expressed in various ways regardless of their demographic profiles. It is recommended that cancer patients comfort state should be re-established and reinforced using the holistic nursing approach that is highly personalized care; Relatives or significant others comfort state should be given more interaction time with the patient and that they should also be an active participant in the care of the patient; Nurses should always identify the comfort state and nursing care needs of their cancer patients and that they should always give more time for patient interaction with less energy spent; Hospital administrators should make sure that there is always improvement in the quality nursing care given to the patients. This can be promoted through client-centered care and maximizing available resources in the hospital. Other editions:
