Description

<p>Purpose: This study aimed to report the process in which young patients with breast cancer acquire mastery and adjust their lifestyles while undergoing treatment.</p><p>Methods: Eleven young breast cancer patients were interviewed in a semi-structured manner. A modified version of the grounded theory approach was used for analysis.</p><p>Results: When breast cancer treatment began, patients experienced“difficulty in living while undergoing breast cancer treatment”such as“frustration of having to prioritize treatment over work and family finances”and“pain from being the cause of sadness in their families.”They also “searched for a way to cope with the difficulties of living”while“wishing to live the ordinary lives they lived before the disease”and received“support for continuing life while undergoing therapy”while alternating between these two experiences. They eventually “(accepted) that what will be will be”to conclude that they would“live with breast cancer while cherishing the present.”</p><p>Conclusion: Nursing for young patients with breast cancer should involve deliberate interaction to encourage self-reflection on the process of mastery.</p>
