“…Patients with BC experience chaotic emotional conditions, such as shame, embarrassment, loss, and resignation after surgery. This finding was similar to a study 24 in which BC survivors experienced the persistence and uncertainty of cancer. In this study, there was an intention to commit suicide among people in their 80s, which was similar to a study 13 that identified old age as a suicide risk factor for BC patients.…”

Background: After radical cystectomy, many bladder cancer patients experience physical and psychological difficulties. For nurses, understanding the illness experiences should be the utmost priority. Objective: The aim of this study was to comprehensively understand the experiences of illness among bladder cancer patients with radical cystectomy in Korea. Methods: Purposive sampling was used in this qualitative study to recruit patients hospitalized with bladder cancer at the urology cancer center in South Korea. Data were collected through one-on-one in-depth interviews and analyzed using the thematic analysis of Braun and Clarke. Results: Six themes were derived: "confusion with bodily changes," "loss of daily life as it was before radical cystectomy," "feeling daunted," "body acceptance," "adaptation," and "feeling grateful for life." These themes represent the emotional state and adaptation process after surgery. Conclusions: This study contributes to the understanding of the experience of illness in Korean adults experiencing bladder cancer. Whereas most previous research focuses on physical aspects, including treatment methods, this study focused on understanding the life and suffering after discharge of individuals. This study can help nurses to better understand the postoperative life of the patients. Implications for Practice: This study can be a foundation for developing informational materials or intervention programs needed to solve the difficulties encountered during urostomy or neobladder self-care. Specifically, a strategy has to be devised to alleviate the pain of loss and to help patients who feel daunted and experience a negative body image.T he number of Korean patients newly diagnosed with bladder cancer (BC) is surging every year, from 2192 in 1999 to 4379 in 2017, 1 and the number of Korean patients undergoing radical cystectomy (RC) for BC increased from 504 in 2011 to 747 in 2019. 2 The 5-year relative survival rate of Korean cancer patients is 70.4%, signifying an increase

“…El cuidado de enfermería durante el ciclo vital permanece en constante transición entre la asistencia hospitalaria y el enfoque comunitario; actúa en la atención al niño (8,9) y al adolescente (10)(11)(12), a la familia gestante (13)(14)(15), al adulto joven (16,17) y al adulto mayor (18); además, invita a la reexión, madurando en sus procesos de salud-enfermedad y sus diferentes dimensiones con especialidad, cienticidad y humanidad en la intervención de enfermedades crónicas y degenerativas (19), enfermedades catastrócas (20), formas de violencia (21,22) y relación con el medioambiente (23); por tanto, se requiere responder con efectividad para el logro de la calidad de vida y salud.…”

Introducción: la enfermería requiere analizar la producción de conocimiento para identificar la situación actual de la investigación en América Latina y los desafíos que surgen en el ejercicio profesional. Método: revisión integrativa que contempló la producción científica entre los años 2014 y 2018, según Whittemore, y Whittemore y Knafl, quienes proponen: identificación del problema, búsqueda de literatura, evaluación, análisis, reducción y presentación de resultados. Resultados: emergieron el cuidado de enfermería —humanizado, seguro y culturalmente congruente—, APS y promoción de la salud, cuidado durante el ciclo vital, formación, educación y liderazgo en los servicios de salud y salud en el trabajo. Discusión: el cuidado de enfermería durante todas las etapas del ciclo vital humano requiere la comprensión e investigación de las dimensiones filosófica, disciplinar, heurística, hermenéutica y política que sustenta la práctica científica. Conclusiones: se develan las necesidades por un cuidado humanizado y seguro, que comprenda la diversidad cultural, el fomento de la APS y promoción de la salud, el cuidado durante el ciclo vital, y la búsqueda de un ejercicio digno y seguro, con liderazgo y fortaleza política.

“…[21][22] In the course of illness processes, normality and improvement in health conditions are usually associated with the possibility of carrying out activities of daily living, with a certain degree of autonomy and efficiency. [21][22] In this perspective, we observed that women in this study performed extra-community activities, some with paid work, and others with voluntary religious activities, but always maintaining the roles of wives, mothers and household caretakers. It has been observed that these are still prominent as the main roles of women in the Western Culture, roles which remain strongly highlighted in the verbal reports.…”

Objective: In order to understand the experiences of women with breast cancer managing fatigue due to chemotherapy with the use of non-pharmacological strategies. Methods: Explanatory study, qualitative, with theoretical reference of medical anthropology and resources of the ethnographic method for data collection; in which four women took part. Thematic analysis was performed based on interviews and conducted observations. Results: Three strategies of self-care, resulted from the culture were used for physical fatigue management: rest, energy conservation and eat habits. Physical activities, contact with plants and religiosity were constituted as practices to deal with emotional fatigue. We understand that the meaning attributed to the use of non-pharmacological strategies was the possibility of feeling capable, confident and able to continue treatment. Conclusions and implications for practice: These woman’s experiences revealed the following necessities, the use of specific strategies to deal with fatigue, as well as the appreciation and understanding of their singularities and cultural practices present in their contexts. In the nursing care, it is possible to associate these practices with scientific knowledge and thus complement the care in favor of an integral care.
