Objective: Some patients receive genome therapy for cancer for which there is no standard treatment, or the standard treatment has been completed making them aware of death. This study identifies the relationship between nursing care for such patients and the "nurses' views of life and death" required to provide nursing care. Methods: A questionnaire survey targeting 91 nurses caring for cancer patients was conducted to perform an exploratory factor analysis of factors of "nursing care for patients receiving cancer genome therapy." Multiple regression analysis used these factors as dependent variables and "nurses' views of life and death" as an independent variable. Results: Five factors and 38 items were abstracted for "nursing care for patients receiving cancer genome therapy," and "nurses' views of life and death" was demonstrated to have influenced these factors. Conclusions: "Nursing care for patients receiving cancer genome therapy" was characterized by factors which targeted patients suffering from a disease that makes them aware of death, and "nurses' views of life and death" influenced these factors, suggesting the need for nurses to establish their views on life and death in cancer genome medical care.
