Research Abstract

I made a question paper about the adjustability of the cancer patient who lived while receive outpatient based on the interview to a patient. And I got opinions from a nurse and the university teacher specialized in the cancer nursing. In addition, I asked cancer patients for the answer to question paper and examined usability. I performed inventory survey by a mailing method and repeated the correction of the question paper. I performed data collection with the cooperation of 6 facilities of West Japan to develop reliability, the adjustability standard that had high validity.
