Oncology nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and experiences regarding advance directives.
To determine oncology nurses' knowledge of, attitudes toward, and experiences with advance directives (ADs). ⋯ More education related to ADs is needed and could be administered through in-service classes or continuing education. Nurses' responses indicated that they need more time to assist patients with completing ADs. This is difficult in the current practice environment but must be recognized as critically important.
