Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to devise a better way of the psychological support to breast cancer patients by the nurses. To achieve this purpose, four projects were planned mainly. The nurses participated in the follow-up research about the anxiety of patients. Through this experience and results, the nurses found that the anxiety of the patient is strong and follows for a long time. For the second, the questionnaire survey was carried out for breast cancer patients by this researcher. The results about the relationships among illness narratives, QOL and related factors were good clue for the nurses to think about the illness experience of breast cancer patients. Thirdly, from a viewpoint of illness narrative, the researcher had the interview for breast cancer patients. While being based on these results, health psychological education for the nurses was planned for the fourth, and especially the "narrative" viewpoint was emphasized in it.
