Purposive sampling was used to select 127 patients. The research instrument used was the Supportive Care Needs in Cancer Patients Thai questionnaire translate by Supan Unjai. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics.
The results revealed that:
Participants reported their supportive care needs 23.6% of the total, with the mean score of the supportive care needs were at the low level in psychological needs, patient care and support needs, health system and information needs, and physical and daily living needs ( =1.49; S.D.=0.63; =1.53; S.D.=0.64; =1.59; S.D.=0.61; =1.60; S.D.=0.65 respectively) which accounted for 27.6%, 40.2%, 14.2%, 23.6% respectively. Meanwhile, the mean score of sexual needs was at the moderate level ( =1.67; S.D.=0.61) which accounted for 21.3%.
