摘要

本個案研究以Derdiarian(1987)「訊息需求理論」為基礎，探討一位初診斷為乳癌婦女的訊息需求。資料收集採田野研究法，自17篇行為過程記錄中的資料加以分析，結果顯示：一、引發訊息需求的因素有訊息獲得不滿足、自我控制感不足和不確定感增加；二、訊息的來源有人們(如義工、病友、健康照顧人員、親友)及媒體(如衛教單位、報紙)；三、訊息需求內容為醫療相關訊息、化學治療相關訊息及生活照顧事項(如飲食、營養補充、娛樂休閒)。個案的訊息需求會依疾病進展改變，故醫護人員應持續評估個案的需求，逐步提供資訊。

This study applied Derdiarian's theory to analyze the information needs of a woman who had been newly diagnosed with breast cancer. Data was collected from a field study, specifically 17 process recordings were conducted. The findings included the followings: (1) Information needs were created by insufficient information, insufficient self-control, and increasing uncertainty; (2) Medical related information was gathered from people (volunteers, patients, health care professionals and relatives) and media (brochure and newspaper): and (3) Information included information on medical issues, chemotherapy, and daily care. The information needs of patients change with the progress of the disease, and thus health care professionals should assess patient needs and provide information accordingly.
