The data were collected from November 2004 to April 2005.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Findings.\u2002<\/jats:bold> Participants had high need levels before and after diagnosis, with their top needs in the domains of healthcare services for diagnosis, follow\u2010up and consultation, and information about the disease. They needed disease\u2010 and treatment\u2010related information more than emotional support. Need levels were higher (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003&lt;\u20030\u00b701) before diagnosis than after, highest before biopsy, and lowest after diagnosis. Furthermore, needs were higher (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003&lt;\u20030\u00b701) before than after diagnosis for diagnostic services, disease information, and involvement of family and friends. Higher needs were found in married women with more education and no history of benign tumours. Need level did not differ statistically significantly by age, religious status, degree of social support, family history and breast symptoms.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion.\u2002<\/jats:bold> Need levels of women with suspected breast cancer vary during the diagnostic period, are highest before breast biopsy, and related to personal characteristics and cultural context. Therefore, during this period, nursing staff should provide patients and families with culturally sensitive, individualized, supportive care.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2648.2007.04410.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,9,16]],"date-time":"2007-09-16T05:29:58Z","timestamp":1189920598000},"page":"289-298","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Healthcare and support needs of women with suspected breast cancer"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"60","author":[{"given":"Mei\u2010Nan","family":"Liao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Miin\u2010Fu","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shin\u2010Cheh","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ping\u2010Ling","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,9,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","first-page":"697","article-title":"Information needs sources of information, and decisional roles in women with breast cancer","volume":"23","author":"Bilodeau B.A.","year":"1996","journal-title":"Oncology Nursing Forum"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0277-9536(84)90400-3"},{"issue":"6","key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","first-page":"33","article-title":"The defining characteristics of support: results of a research project","volume":"32","author":"Byrne C.","year":"1994","journal-title":"Journal of Psychosocial Nursing"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0001-2092(06)60511-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00002820-200403000-00011"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00002820-199804000-00005"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_8_1","volume-title":"Taiwan, R.O.C.
