It was conducted from August 2024 to December 2024 in a tertiary hospital in Beijing. The program comprised three stages: preparation, training, implementation and supervision. It included tiered training for nurses based on established nursing standards, standardized health education checklists for patients, and continuous support through virtual and in-person clinic visit. Associated improvements were evaluated using self-designed questionnaires. Data were collected from nurses before training and 2 months after program implementation, and from patients before and 1 month after education.

The knowledge and behavior scores of nurses regarding on correct medication administration, protection against drug exposure, and early management of adverse reactions improved significantly (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.001).

A total of 18 cancer patient-spouse dyads were recruited, with 16 dyads completing all follow-ups between March and December 2024. All interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed thematically.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>The study collected 96 individual interviews. The thematic framework was developed based on patient-spouse dyads, generating three key themes: relationship crisis at diagnosis, relationship reconfiguration during hospitalization, and relationship adaptation in home care. These were further elaborated through eight subthemes: mutual denial at the moment of diagnosis, communication avoidance by fear of burden, and collaborative struggles in dyadic coping (relationship crisis); collapse of traditional family roles and shared vulnerability as dyadic coping (relationship reconfiguration); and intra-dyadic reciprocal support in daily care, joint help-seeking as a unified front, and post-trauma mutual growth within familism (relationship adaptation).</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>The couple's relational experience evolves dynamically from diagnosis through hospitalisation to home care. These findings provide implications for health care providers to develop effective health guidance that supports a harmonious family atmosphere during transitional care. Culturally tailored, dyad-centred interventions addressing these phase-specific challenges may strengthen mutual support and improve the well-being of both patients and spouses.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8569,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Oncology Nursing","volume":"13 ","pages":"Article 100847"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2026-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146023368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
