Ovarian cancer is described as being a whisper because it is challenging to diagnose at an early stage. Women need the voice to respond to the whisperings and nurses need to listen and acknowledge these voices. The purpose of this descriptive qualitative study is to examine personal stories of ovarian cancer within the framework of Women's Ways of Knowing (WWK) to understand how women voice their "whisperings of ovarian cancer" and their interactions with healthcare providers. The importance of listening and acknowledging a woman's voice is illustrated by the five categories of knowing delineated by WWK. The categories of knowing are silence, received knowledge, subjective knowledge, procedural knowledge, and constructed knowledge. Listening for a woman's voice, acknowledging her voice, and being an advocate for her voice are key components of holistic care. Listening may play an instrumental role in the early diagnosis of ovarian cancer.
卵巢癌被形容为悄声细语，因为早期诊断具有挑战性。女性需要发出声音来回应这些悄声细语，而护士则需要倾听并认可这些声音。这项描述性定性研究的目的是在女性认知方式（WWK）的框架内审视卵巢癌患者的个人故事，以了解女性如何表达她们“卵巢癌的悄声细语”以及她们与医疗服务提供者的互动。WWK所划分的五类认知说明了倾听和认可女性声音的重要性。这五类认知分别是沉默、接受性知识、主观性知识、程序性知识和建构性知识。倾听女性的声音、认可她的声音并为她的声音代言是整体护理的关键组成部分。倾听可能在卵巢癌的早期诊断中发挥重要作用。
