PURPOSE
To explore subjective meanings and lived experiences of spirituality among adults with cancer.
METHODS
Participants (age ≥ 18, any type/stage of cancer, English-speaking) were recruited from one cancer center. Semi-structured interviews elicited what "spirituality" means and how it was experienced when facing cancer. Data were analyzed using interpretive thematic analysis.
RESULTS
25 participants from diverse religious/spiritual backgrounds, primarily white (92%) and female (64%), with an average age of 59 years (range: 43-90), most often described spirituality as connection with something greater. Spirituality in daily life was described as participation in spiritual practices, engagement in service and nurturing others, finding and/or creating sacredness everyday, holding a supportive worldview, and relating with mortality.
CONCLUSIONS
Meanings and experiences of spirituality vary widely among people with cancer. Findings underscore the need to tailor spirituality screening. Future research should focus on better understanding spirituality across diverse populations and developing interventions to support spiritual care.
目的
探讨成年癌症患者精神层面的主观意义和生活体验。
方法
从一家癌症中心招募参与者（年龄≥18岁，任何类型/阶段的癌症，讲英语）。通过半结构化访谈了解“精神性”的含义以及面对癌症时的体验。采用解释性主题分析法对数据进行分析。
结果
25名参与者来自不同的宗教/精神背景，主要为白人（92%）和女性（64%），平均年龄59岁（范围：43 - 90岁），他们大多将精神性描述为与更宏大的事物建立联系。日常生活中的精神性被描述为参与精神实践、投身服务和关爱他人、每天寻找和/或创造神圣感、持有支持性的世界观以及面对死亡。
结论
癌症患者的精神性意义和体验差异很大。研究结果强调了定制精神性筛查的必要性。未来的研究应专注于更好地理解不同人群的精神性，并开发支持精神关怀的干预措施。
