About this trial
The purpose of the study is to assess the attitudes and the use of research by nurses at the IRCCS-CRO Aviano. Furthermore, it will make it possible to identify attitudes towards the use/non-use of research results, specific training needs and targeted interventions to ensure adequate care for cancer patients along the disease course, derived from a constant updating of nursing skills. The study will involve nurses working in different care settings of the Institute and some patients who will be able to express their care needs and research priorities, making a direct contribution towards development of care centred on the health needs, preferences and values of the cancer patients.
