To understand the meanings of cancer within the experience of rural families and how such meanings influence family dynamics.
Qualitative study guided by Symbolic Interactionism as a theoretical framework and Grounded Theory as a methodological framework. Six rural families (18 participants) undergoing the experience of having a relative with cancer participated in the interview.
Constant comparative analysis of data allowed the elaboration of an explanatory substantive theory, defined by the main category Caregiving to support the family world, which represents the family's symbolic actions and strategies to reconcile care for the patient and care for family life.
Throughout the experience, rural families seek to preserve the interconnected symbolic elements that provide support for the family world: family unit, land, work and care.
了解农村家庭经历中癌症的意义，以及这些意义如何影响家庭动态。
以符号互动主义为理论框架、扎根理论为方法框架的定性研究。六个有亲属患癌症的农村家庭（18名参与者）参与了访谈。
对数据进行持续的比较分析，形成了一个解释性的实质性理论，其主要类别为“照顾以支持家庭世界”，这代表了家庭为协调对患者的照顾和对家庭生活的照顾而采取的象征性行动和策略。
在整个经历中，农村家庭试图保留为家庭世界提供支持的相互关联的象征性元素：家庭单位、土地、工作和照顾。
