This phenomenologic study was designed to understand and describe the experiences of adolescents living with cancer. The study was conducted with a sample of five adolescents 13 to 17 years old, who had received or were receiving treatments for cancer. Data were collected during audiotaped interviews and were analyzed for common themes. The data showed that the adolescents' overall goal was to get on with life. The teenagers responded to cancer by experiencing the illness and determining that they were normal. They developed a philosophy of being positive and redefined their social world in order to get on with life. Understanding the manner in which adolescents with cancer experience living with this illness may enable health care practitioners to provide appropriate care to the teenager with cancer. Implications for practice, research, and education are discussed.
这项现象学研究旨在了解和描述患癌青少年的经历。该研究以五名年龄在13至17岁之间、已接受或正在接受癌症治疗的青少年为样本进行。数据通过录音访谈收集，并对共同主题进行分析。数据显示，青少年的总体目标是继续生活。这些青少年通过体验疾病并认定自己正常来应对癌症。他们形成了一种积极的人生观，并重新定义了自己的社交世界，以便继续生活。了解患癌青少年体验这种疾病的方式，可能会使医疗从业者为患癌青少年提供适当的护理。文中还讨论了对实践、研究和教育的启示。
