This longitudinal study explores the lived experience of four couples where one person from each couple is prescribed an oxygen concentrator to use at home. Transcripts were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. The findings reported here focus on two super-ordinate themes: 'the journey of acceptance' and 'negotiating changing relationships'. Participants described a gradual process of accepting the device into their lives, the impact on couple's relationships and the role that expectations have in mediating that process. These themes suggest that patient education that considers the psychological and social issues may prove useful in facilitating the acceptance process.
这项纵向研究探讨了四对夫妻的生活经历,每对夫妻中有一人被开了家用制氧机。使用解释现象学分析对访谈记录进行了分析。此处报告的研究结果集中在两个上位主题:“接受之旅”和“协商关系变化”。参与者描述了一个将该设备融入他们生活的渐进过程、对夫妻关系的影响以及期望在调解该过程中所起的作用。这些主题表明,考虑到心理和社会问题的患者教育可能有助于促进接受过程。
