Abstract

Hematology's specialized nature requires understanding disease processes, appropriate therapeutic interventions, and their impact on a patient's quality of life. Targeted nursing interventions in Hematology invoke the concept of Distinctive Competencies. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate its prevalence among Hematology nurses. A multicenter cross-sectional observational study was performed, administering a multiple-choice questionnaire to a sample belonging to 3 different Adult Hematology Operating Units in Milan and Monza & Brianza. Based on the percentage of correct answers to the questions in the questionnaire, it can be inferred that, among those involved in the study, there is a good diffusion of Distinctive Competencies in Hematology, but this appears to be closely related to professional experience in this field. Hopefully, these learnings will also be related to specialized post-basic training in the future.
