The purpose of this study is to evaluate the care needs and related factors for patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). The study• was a retrospective experimental design. The medical records of 110 patients of SARS were reviewed by using constructive scales. The baseline characteristics of patients and care needs scale were used in the study. The content validity, and reliability of the evaluation sheet was assessed expects by Cronbach's ɑ, which turned out to be .902. The respiratory care need score was the highest in nursing care needs (mean=6.38). In addition, metabolic care need score (mean=4.47) was the highest in medical care needs. Moreover, patient's age, education, hospitalization days, preserve of endo-tracheal tube and outcome were positive correlated with physical, nursing and total care needs (p＜.05). The predictors for higher total care needs included ventilator days, complication and hospitalization days. The proportion of total variance can be explained by the final regression equation 62.5%. Our findings might provide information to health care providers for understanding the care needs of SARS patients and delivering better quality of medical and nursing care to patients.
