title: [Self-administration of colony stimulating factors (CSF's): basic advice].
abstract: As nurses we all know the importance of good health education to achieve the highest level of autonomy in our patients. In the Medical Day Unit of Palamós Hospital we treat cancer patients who need CSF's (Colony Stimulating Factors) medication. We thought it would be appropriate, therefore, to draw up an information leaflet on self-administration of CSF's. These kind of patients receive a lot of information through the different media but, unfortunately, it can get distorted, unclear, and often, not at all lawful. Our goal is that the patient or, in his absence, the main career can improve the self-administration of the drug. After several tests we have opted for a visual leaflet instead of a written one because we believe that "a picture is worth a thousand words".
