Additional research is needed to identify how nurses affect uncertainty related to hospitalization with cancer and if feeling cared for by the nurses influences this uncertainty. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to test Mishel\u2019s Theory of Uncertainty in Illness among patients hospitalized with cancer. Specifically, do (1) predictor variables prescribed by the model and (2) the feeling of being cared for by one\u2019s nurse influence the individual\u2019s perception of uncertainty? Theoretical Framework: According to Mishel\u2019s theory, one\u2019s level of formal education, experience with the illness and its symptoms, familiarity with health care, social support, and trust and confidence in one\u2019s providers (antecedents) all influence the perception of uncertainty by the patient. Methods: A predictive correlational, cross-sectional design was used. The relationship between the independent variables (antecedents), and the dependent variable (uncertainty) was examined. In addition, the relationship of a new predictor variable, feeling cared for by one\u2019s nurses, was added to test for enhanced ability to predict uncertainty. Results: Two hypotheses were tested for relationships among variables of the theoretical model using multiple regression analysis. Hypothesis 1 stated there would be no significant contribution between the predictor variables (antecedents) of patient level of education, credible authority, social support, length of diagnosis, and familiarity with environment and the feeling of uncertainty in hospitalized cancer patients. Only familiarity with environment and credible authority significantly contributed to the model. Hypothesis 2 added feeling cared for by one\u2019s nurses as antecedent; the null hypothesis was not rejected, although a significant correlational relationship was found to exist between feeling care for and lower scores of uncertainties. Conclusions: Results of this study provide knowledge of the variables that influence uncertainty within the context of illness. These findings lend support to the use of Mishel\u2019s midrange theory to promote the nursing process and to guide nursing practice. Future research should focus on identification of latent variables not identified in this study that contribute to uncertainty in illness, and the role of the nurse as a credible authority for patients with cancer.", "Mishel\u0027s Theory of Uncertainty in Illness." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Classification" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "RC263.K36 2007" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Publication Date" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "2007" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Genre" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Academic theses" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Holding Location" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Barry University Archives and Special Collections" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Resource Identifier" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "RC263.K36 2007_KaminskiGlenda" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Language" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "English" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Permanent Link" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "http://sobekcmsrv.barrynet.barry.edu/AA00001432/00001" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Creator" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Kaminski, Glenda L." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Note" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Thesis (Ph.D.)--Barry University, 2009.", "Includes bibliographical references (leaves 71-79)." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Physical Description" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "xii, 105 leaves ; 28 cm" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Publisher" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Barry University" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Place of Publication" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Miami, Fla." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Type" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Book" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Rights Management" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Copyright Glenda L.
