PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES: To investigate how young mothers manage their maternal roles and responsibilities during their journey as patients with cancer .
RESEARCH APPROACH: Semistructured face-to-face interviews and analysis .
Rural and urban communities in eastern Canada.
18 mothers aged 27-45 years when diagnosed and who were concluding or had concluded treatment for breast or non-ovarian reproductive cancer.
Glaserian Grounded Theory.
FINDINGS: During the various phases of the cancer journey, mothers focus their efforts on protecting their children from psychological harm. Safeguarding the Children is the explanatory model generated from the interview data that consists of four strategies-customizing exposure, reducing disruption to family life, finding new ways to be close, and increasing vigilance-which mothers implement to protect their children .
CONCLUSIONS: Young mothers with cancer manage their maternal roles and responsibilities by strategizing how they can mitigate threats to their children's psychological well-being .
INTERPRETATION: Nurses are ideally suited to address holistic needs and concerns of women with cancer who are mothers. Safeguarding the Children, as an explanatory model for practice, may equip oncology nurses with requisite knowledge and understanding to better anticipate resource, counseling, support, and referral needs of young mothers during their cancer journey .
目的/目标:调查年轻母亲在患癌期间如何履行母亲的角色和职责。
半结构化面对面访谈与分析。
加拿大东部的农村和城市社区。
18名母亲,诊断时年龄在27至45岁之间,正在结束或已经结束乳腺癌或非卵巢生殖系统癌症的治疗。
格拉斯哥扎根理论。
在患癌的各个阶段,母亲们都致力于保护孩子免受心理伤害。“保护孩子”是从访谈数据中得出的解释模型,包括四种策略——定制接触方式、减少对家庭生活的干扰、寻找新的亲密方式以及提高警惕——母亲们通过这些策略来保护孩子。
患癌的年轻母亲通过制定策略来减轻对孩子心理健康的威胁,从而履行母亲的角色和职责。
护士非常适合满足身为母亲的癌症女性的整体需求和担忧。“保护孩子”作为一种实践解释模型,可为肿瘤护士提供必要的知识和理解,以便更好地预测年轻母亲在患癌期间的资源、咨询、支持和转诊需求。
