Recent years have seen increased attention given to examining the phenomenon of hope in patients with metastatic cancer. One of the results of this activity has been a greater appreciation of the significance of hope for the dying patient. However, there are many questions about the experience of hope and its impact on the lives of patients with cancer which remain to be answered. This paper discusses how hope is currently conceptualized in the nursing literature, and considers the implications that this conceptualization has for how we care for cancer patients. Some alternative ways of looking at the experience and the impact of hope are also discussed.
近年来，对转移性癌症患者的希望现象的研究受到了更多关注。这一活动的成果之一是，人们更加认识到希望对临终患者的重要性。然而，关于希望的体验及其对癌症患者生活的影响，仍有许多问题有待解答。本文讨论了护理文献中目前对希望的概念化方式，并思考了这种概念化对我们护理癌症患者的方式所产生的影响。同时，还讨论了看待希望体验及其影响的一些其他方式。
