Purpose: Understanding daily life experiences of patients admitted to hospital with recurrent breast cancer.
Methods: The grounded theory method was used for this study.
Results: Consistent comparative analysis was used throughout the study to obtain the results. Results showed that inpatients with recurrent breast cancer experience ¡®a co-existence of life suffering and fear of death¡¯. The causal condition of this result was determined to be ¡®patient¡¯s response to cancer recurrence (acceptance/despair)¡¯, including contextual conditions such as, ¡®previous experience with cancer treatment¡¯, ¡®patient¡¯s current physical condition¡¯, and ¡®treatment methods for recurrent cancer¡¯. Intervening conditions, such as ¡®a strong will to live¡¯, ¡®family support¡¯, ¡®moral support providers¡¯, and action/interaction strategies were found to provide patients with ¡®a strength to live¡¯. Shown in these results, inpatients with recurrent breast cancer were seen to have a simultaneous ¡®hope for life and fear of death¡¯.
Conclusion: When providing nursing services to inpatients with recurrent breast cancer, people must recognize there is a notable difference between individual patients¡¯ contextual conditions and interactive strategies. Henceforth, proper cognitive nursing must be provided which encourages patients to maintain a strong will to overcome the many hardships of treatment as well as physical nursing, such as management of side effects caused by chemotherapy.
