Abstract:
Background: Most of cancer caring salons (a following salon) are held at the daytime, and there is no report that we weighed against a salon at night. Purpose: We weigh the participation number of people, the differences of participation reason by the time of salon and examine the problems of the salon at the daytime. Method: From July, 2012 to December, we held salons for two hours. The salon at the daytime started at 14:00, and the salon at night was at 18:00. We distributed the questionnaire to participants and examined them. Results: 69 people participated. 22 people (32%) participated at the daytime, and 47 people were at night (p=0.004). Questionnaires are collected in 55 people; a response rate is 80%. Participants less than 60 years old were eight (40%) at the daytime, and 21 (60%) at night. The most common reason of choice the participant time was "not in particular (55%)" at the daytime, and "circumstances of the work (34%)" at night. Conclusion: Young working generations tend to be hard to participate in the salon at the daytime, and the salon at night may be useful.
