OBJECTIVES
The current study investigated self-discrepancy experiences of young women with metastatic cancer.
METHODS
Semistructured interviews were conducted. Data were analyzed through interpretative phenomenological analysis.
FINDINGS
Eight female patients with metastatic cancer aged between 27 and 38 years formed the sample. Three superordinate themes emerged: (1) compulsory changes in self-concept with ambivalent evaluations; (2) new ideals not on the agenda of a healthy young woman; and (3) so-called 'minimalist' expectations from others.
DISCUSSION
Findings indicated that diagnosis and treatment of metastatic cancer impose unique developmental challenges for young adult women. Advanced cancer disrupted the tasks and responsibilities of young adulthood, resulting in frustration, grief, isolation, and overcompensation. These findings suggest that a developmental perspective is crucial when working with self-discrepancy experiences of young women with metastatic cancer.
目的
本研究调查了转移性癌症年轻女性的自我差异体验。
方法
进行了半结构化访谈。通过解释现象学分析对数据进行了分析。
结果
8 名年龄在 27 至 38 岁之间的转移性癌症女性患者组成了样本。出现了三个上位主题：（1）自我概念的强制性变化伴随着矛盾的评价；（2）新的理想不在健康年轻女性的议程上；（3）他人的所谓“极简主义”期望。
讨论
研究结果表明，转移性癌症的诊断和治疗给年轻成年女性带来了独特的发展挑战。晚期癌症打乱了年轻成年期的任务和责任，导致沮丧、悲伤、孤立和过度补偿。这些发现表明，在处理转移性癌症年轻女性的自我差异体验时，发展视角至关重要。
