Research Abstract

The present study explored self-care in lung cancer undergoing cancer treatment. Data were collected through participant observation and semi-structured interviews with patients. The following results were obtained by qualitative analysis.
1. Self-care in lung cancer patients following surgery can be classified into 4 categories: <<motivation toward self-care>> <<intention of self-care>> <<performance of self-care>> and << contributing factors to self-care>>. <<motivation>>, which included subcategories such as < the win to live > <the desire to return to daily life>, was defined as the rein behind a deliberate action. <<Performance>>, which included subcategories such as <training in respiratory function> <being alert to altered body function> <controlling anxiety related to cancer diagnosis> <eliminating risk factors related to recurrence from living environment>. <<Contributing factors>> included <relationship between patients and healthcare>>, <social support> and <degree of postoperative recovery>.
2. Categories identified among lung cancer patients who had cancer pain in the terminal stage included <<realizing a decreasing ability to perform self-care>> in addition to the above 4 categories. Patients performed self-care for cancer pain by <establishing a pain control plan with the medical team>, and <controlling cancer pain in their own way> while keeping in mind their reduced ability to perform self-care.
The presents findings demonstrated influence of the decision to inform the results of cancer diagnoses on bereaved families. Noncommittal information and patients' vague awareness about a cancer diagnosis adversely affected the satisfaction of the bereaved families.
