ABSTRACT
Objective: To study the willingness of undergraduate nursing students to participate in anti-epidemic volunteering and its influencing factors in Macao. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted to explore the willingness of undergraduate nursing students to volunteer themselves for anti-epidemic activities from November 23, 2021 to February 1, 2022. Targeted sampling and snowball sampling methods were used to recruit students from Bachelor of Science in Nursing Programme (BSN) in two nursing education institutes of Academic Year 2021-2022 in Macao and they participated through completing an online self-administered Chinese-modified Blackwood questionnaire. Results: 234 valid responses were received. Macao nursing students reported high willingness (75.6%) to anti-epidemic volunteering. There was a statistically significant difference among those influencing factors, such as roles in volunteering, knowledge level, moral obligation, student barriers, self and family safety, peer influence and professional identity, and the willingness to respond to anti-epidemic volunteering (p<0.001).In the logistic regression model, respondents were more likely to volunteer when they had clear volunteering role (OR=5.494, 95% CI: 2.328-12.964), volunteering experience more than 1 time (OR=7.611, 95% CI: 2.557-22.659), family who had vaccination and preventive measures (OR=3.080, 95% CI: 1.295-7.324), and their professional identity with altruism (OR=2.701, 95% CI: 1.130-6.456). The concepts of the three dimensional process of risk perception theory were affirmed. Conclusion: Undergraduate nursing students’ willingness to respond to the epidemic through volunteering is worth to being promoted. They could become a great support to the healthcare system that is definitely beneficial to the society as a whole. On top of that, the consolidation of professional identity and belief in altruism could positively interact with emergency volunteerism. It is indeed priceless for the nursing students to have the potential for personal and professional growth.

Objective: To investigate the quality of life and satisfaction of cancer care of female breast cancer patients undergoing treatment in Macau. To identify the correlation among socio-demographic and clinical characteristics, the satisfaction of cancer care (SCA) and quality of life (QOL) in female breast cancer patients undergoing treatment. To identify the predicting factors of QOL for female breast cancer patients in Macau. Methods: A cross-sectional survey with convenience sampling method was adopted to measure the QOL and SCA among female breast cancer patients undergoing treatment in Macau. Parameters such as socio-demographic and clinical characteristic, satisfaction of cancer care (SCA) and QOL (EORTC QLQ-C30) of the patients were collected. Non-parametric statistical methods were used to analyse the characteristic of variables. Binary logistic regression was conducted for identifying the predictors of QOL of the breast cancer patients undergoing treatment in Macau. Results: one hundred and ninety Macau breast cancer patients demonstrates a moderate level of QOL as well as satisfaction of cancer care. Frequency of social group participation is significantly positively correlated with satisfaction of cancer care. The stage of breast cancer is significantly negatively correlated with general health status, functional ability and satisfaction of cancer care but positively correlated with symptom ability. Working full-time with partner/children’s support and satisfied cancer information is found to account for 59.4% of the variance in physical functioning in QOL. Satisfaction of cancer outcome is found to account for 27% of the variance in Global health status/QOL. Conclusion: Four factors was identified in this study as predictive QOL outcome (stage of breast cancer, employment status, social support sources, information subscales in SCA). Based on this cross-sectional study, additional, longitudinal and intervention studies are suggested to further clarify the contribution of such factors and ways to improve nursing intervention.
