Within the study, we analyzed and evaluated the process of implementing a patient-oriented approach to nursing in the day hospital Rehabilitation Department of the Republic Clinical Oncology Dispensary named after Professor M.Z. Sigal; studied the nursing staff opinions on the role of a nurse in the implementation of a patient-oriented approach in providing medical care to patients; investigated the satisfaction of patients with the nursing care organization from the standpoint of a patient-oriented approach; made recommendations for the development of a patient-oriented approach to providing nursing care to cancer patients in the process of rehabilitation. As criteria for assessing the implementation of a patient-centered approach, we used the results of sociological studies carried out in 1993 by the Picker Institute & Harvard Medical School, which formed the basis of the international concept of patient-oriented approach. The opinion of the nursing staff about the role of a nurse in the implementation of a patient-oriented approach to providing medical care to patients was studied through interviews. Patient satisfaction with the organization of nursing care from the standpoint of a patient-centered approach was assessed using a specially designed questionnaire.
Key words: nursing staff, patient-oriented approach, Rehabilitation Department, Oncology Dispensary.
