This article describes common experiences of African American women breast cancer survivors through poetic analysis. Group-as-a-whole theory and empirical and interpretive phenomenology guided analysis of transcripts from three focus groups (n = 21) of African American breast cancer survivors. Familiarity with transcripts and themes led to awareness of poetic ways in which African American women described experiences. Black feminist literature and African American historical references contextualized survivors' experiences. Poetic interpretations of African American women's breast cancer experiences, from diagnosis to survivorship, were created from transcript dialogues. Verbatim words were used to construct the poems, as often as possible. Eleven poems describe the journey from diagnosis to survivorship as experienced by African American women. The poetry may raise levels of awareness of African American women's breast cancer survivorship experiences. Attention to subtleties that underpin culture within the context of health care environments may help health care providers to improve cultural competence.
本文通过诗歌分析描述了非裔美国乳腺癌幸存者的常见经历。整体群体理论以及实证和解释性现象学指导了对来自三个非裔美国乳腺癌幸存者焦点小组（n = 21）的访谈记录的分析。对访谈记录和主题的熟悉引发了对非裔美国女性描述经历的诗意方式的认识。黑人女性主义文学和非裔美国历史参考文献为幸存者的经历提供了背景。从访谈记录对话中创作了对非裔美国女性从诊断到生存的乳腺癌经历的诗意解读。尽可能使用逐字记录的话语来构建诗歌。十一首诗歌描述了非裔美国女性从诊断到生存的历程。这些诗歌可能会提高人们对非裔美国女性乳腺癌生存经历的认识。关注医疗保健环境背景下支撑文化的细微之处可能有助于医疗保健提供者提高文化能力。
