“…Since the survival rate of female cancer patients compared to male cancer patients is increasing and women tend to solve problems with and receive practical help from their families when faced with challenges [ 30 ], this study is significant since it identified female cancer patients’ knowledge and attitudes toward ADs, attitudes toward dignified death, and other influential factors. This study will provide basic data for developing intervention programs for female cancer patients to establish a more positive attitude toward ADs and enhance their intention to write ADs.…”

Purpose This study aimed to identify attitudes toward advance directives (ADs) among female cancer patients and factors related to ADs. Methods The study was conducted at a university hospital in Seoul from September 19, 2020, to January 20, 2021. The participants were 153 patients diagnosed with gynecological cancer or breast cancer. Data were collected using questionnaires and included general characteristics, disease- and AD-related characteristics, knowledge and attitudes about ADs, and attitudes about dignified death. Data were analyzed using the t-test, analysis of variance, and multiple regression analysis. Results Only 2% of the participants completed ADs. The mean score for attitudes toward ADs was 3.30, indicating a positive knowledge and attitude toward dignified death. The factors related to attitudes toward ADs were attitudes toward dignified death (β=0.25, P=0.001), experience discussing life-sustaining treatment (β=0.17, P=0.037), preferred time to have a consultation about ADs (β=0.19, P=0.046), intention to write ADs (β= 0.15, P=0.038), and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (β=-0.37, P<0.001). The explanatory power of these variables for attitudes toward ADs was 38.5%. Conclusion Overall, patients preferred to have a consultation about ADs when they were still active, mentally healthy, and able to make decisions. Education about ADs should be provided to patients on the first day of hospitalization for chemotherapy or while awaiting treatment in an outpatient setting so patients can write ADs and discuss them with family and friends.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to comprehensively understand and describe the meaning of physical activity for managing menopausal symptoms in middle-aged women.Methods: This study targeted middle-aged women with menopausal symptoms who participated in regular exercise at least three times a week for more than 12 weeks. Nine participants were individually interviewed via in-depth face-to-face interviews, and participatory observation was also employed. Colaizzi’s phenomenological qualitative research method was applied for analysis.Results: Participants were asked, “What does it means to participate in physical activity at this time of your life?” Fourteen codes, six themes, and three theme clusters were derived for the meaning of physical activity for managing menopausal symptoms these middle-aged women. The six themes were “reviving the exhausted body and mind,” “being free from the yoke of pain,” “being settled in life,” “finding oneself and becoming altruistic,” “striving while anticipating change,” and “equipping the body and mind.” The three theme clusters were “overcoming my past pain,” “taking the initiative for today’s life,” and “moving towards new change.”Conclusion: The narratives revealed that physical activity allowed women to overcome menopausal symptoms, the burden of relationships, and stress, thereby enabling them to make positive changes in their lives and have expectations for the future. Thus, physical activity was a positive force in a healthy menopausal transition for women with menopausal symptoms. The findings of this study can be used to encourage physical activity in peri-menopausal women and to develop physical activity programs for managing menopausal symptoms.
