understanding the impact of role ambiguity (both professional and patient) can be a factor in deepening the understanding of the ongoing personal, professional and organisational requirements of nurses who are cancer survivors.
the aim of this qualitative study was to elucidate an in-depth description of nurses' experiences of surviving cancer.
an exploratory qualitative research design was used (n=8), with participants recruited between September 2014 and December 2016.
data analysis led to the emergence of six themes: being practical about the diagnosis and treatment, empathy and compassion, a 'new normal' and the role of organisational support, medical knowledge and treatment experiences, coping in silence and denial, and being resilient.
nurses as cancer survivors who return to work offer a richness of experience related to enhanced empathetic responses to patients in their care and have the potential to be great practice role-models for other staff.
了解角色模糊（包括专业角色和患者角色方面）的影响，可能是深化对身为癌症幸存者的护士在个人、专业和组织方面持续需求理解的一个因素。
这项定性研究的目的是深入描述护士的癌症 survivorship 经历。
采用探索性定性研究设计（n = 8），于2014年9月至2016年12月招募参与者。
数据分析得出六个主题：对诊断和治疗保持务实态度、同理心和同情心、“新常态”与组织支持的作用、医学知识和治疗经历、默默应对与否认、以及恢复力。
身为癌症幸存者且重返工作岗位的护士，能提供丰富的经验，有助于增强对其护理患者的同理心反应，并有潜力成为其他员工的优秀实践榜样。
