This study investigated the occurrence of chronic sorrow in individuals diagnosed with cancer and explored factors perceived as helpful to those experiencing grief-related feelings. Using the Burke/NCRCS Chronic Sorrow Questionnaire (Affected Individual Version), interviews were conducted with 10 individuals with cancer at least one year postdiagnosis. Interviews were transcribed and coding categories were developed. Data then were sorted into categories and recurring themes were identified. Nine of the subjects demonstrated evidence of chronic sorrow. Subjects most often used cognitive or action-oriented coping strategies to deal with their grief-related feelings. Nursing roles identified as particularly helpful to subjects experiencing chronic sorrow were providing an empathetic presence and being a teacher/expert. Nurses need to be aware that individuals living with cancer may experience chronic sorrow, and they need to be prepared to intervene in ways deemed helpful.
本研究调查了被诊断患有癌症的个体中慢性悲伤的发生情况，并探索了那些被认为对经历悲伤相关情绪的人有帮助的因素。使用伯克/全国农村和社区服务慢性悲伤问卷（受影响个体版），对10名在确诊后至少一年的癌症患者进行了访谈。访谈内容被转录，并制定了编码类别。然后将数据分类，并确定反复出现的主题。9名受试者表现出慢性悲伤的迹象。受试者最常使用认知或行动导向的应对策略来处理他们的悲伤相关情绪。被确定为对经历慢性悲伤的受试者特别有帮助的护理角色是给予共情陪伴以及成为教师/专家。护士需要意识到，患癌个体可能会经历慢性悲伤，并且他们需要准备好以被认为有帮助的方式进行干预。
