AB - The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a nursing intervention program for cancer patient, using the concept of “smart patients”, on patient distress and quality of life. This study was conducted by adopting a non-equivalent control group pre and post-test design for 21 cancer patients as an experimental group and 19 patients as a control group. The nursing intervention was applied to the experimental group for eight weeks, beginning January 10, 2015, while booklets on distress management were provided to the control group. To measure the distress and quality of life of subjects, the distress thermometer, problem list, and the Korean Version McMaster Quality of Life Scale (MQLS) were used. It is found that the ‘Becoming Smart Patients’ nursing intervention was effective in reducing distress and improving the quality of life of cancer patients. These results indicate that the nursing intervention program that helps patients become smart may reduce distress and improve the quality of life of cancer patients in South Korea. Nurses who care for cancer patients should recognize the importance of communication with family and medical staff.
