Abstract
AIM
This study was undertaken to discover the socioeconomic impact of breast cancer on young women in Ghana.
METHODS
A qualitative exploratory and descriptive design was used to recruit 12 young women from the University of Ghana hospital, 37 Military hospital and Ridge hospital. Individual interviews were conducted face to face and data transcribed verbatim and analysed using content analysis.
RESULTS
Three themes emerged: . Participants perceived that breast cancer was a test of faith, a spiritual disease that is contagious and disgraceful. Mostly, participants stopped work to cater for themselves, and as a result, they encountered financial challenges. Their challenges were compounded with conscious efforts to keep diagnosis secret to avoid being stigmatized.
CONCLUSION
Young women living with breast cancer need support physically, economically and socially from healthcare providers, their families and the society at large.
摘要
目的
本研究旨在探究乳腺癌对加纳年轻女性的社会经济影响。
方法
采用定性探索性和描述性设计，从加纳大学医院、37军事医院和里奇医院招募了12名年轻女性。进行了面对面的个人访谈，数据逐字转录并使用内容分析法进行分析。
结果
出现了三个主题：参与者认为乳腺癌是对信仰的考验，是一种具有传染性且可耻的精神疾病。大多数情况下，参与者停止工作以照顾自己，因此遇到了经济挑战。她们的挑战因有意识地努力隐瞒诊断以避免被污名化而更加复杂。
结论
患有乳腺癌的年轻女性需要医疗服务提供者、其家人及整个社会在身体、经济和社会方面给予支持。
