<p>Objectives: The purpose of this research was to clarify the evaluation on nursing in an outpatient setting of the use of “a nursing algorithm to promote treatments more attuned to the social roles of each cancer survivor,” developed by the researchers.</p><p>Methods: Nursing support using the algorithm was performed by the nurses at the outpatient departments who were engaged in cancer treatment in A prefecture.

The evaluation on nursing in an outpatient setting were consolidated from 49 codes to 10 sub-categories, yielding the following: “use of the algorithm enabled the nurses to support cancer survivors living in a society with an integrated approach,”“enabled them to share directions of support across different job categories,” and “enhanced the nurses' feeling of self-satisfaction as a nurse in an outpatient setting.”</p><p>Discussion: Use of the algorithm threw light on the social background of each cancer survivor, enabling the nurses to provide individualized support. Such support contributed to promoting a relationship of trust with the survivors, as well as to enforcing the nurses' feeling of satisfaction.</p>
