- W2082220206 abstract "Objective To explore and illuminate the lived experience of women diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Design A phenomenological approach in which individuals tell their stories to make meaning of their truths, realities, and experiences. Phenomenology allows researchers to interpret the meaning of the experiences through hearing and observing the words and descriptions of participants. Setting The women were interviewed for an hour or more at their homes or workplaces. Each interview was audio-recorded and transcribed. Sample Eleven women aged 23 to 66 were interviewed beginning with the open-ended question “Tell me about events leading up to your diagnosis of ovarian cancer.” The women were diagnosed with stages II (n = 1), III (n = 8), and IV (n = 2) ovarian cancer within the past 5 years. Stages III and IV are advanced stages. Methods The narrative responses were analyzed for constitutive patterns and relational themes according to the hermeneutic phenomenological process. By illuminating the memories and recollections of the women, the meanings and particulars of the ovarian cancer experience were identified. Results Prior to diagnosis, most women were not aware of the symptoms of ovarian cancer. Even though symptoms were present, they were often attributed to gastrointestinal and renal problems by the woman and provider. There was an average delay in diagnosis of at least 6 months. Six constitutive patterns evolved from the experiences of the 11 women: the revelation, jeopardy, on the lookout, becoming normal, and living every moment. Conclusion/Implications for Nursing Practice The women participated in this study with the expectation that their experiences would be passed on to health care providers who care for women. They wanted the information to contribute to improvement in the care provided with hopes for earlier diagnosis. They wanted others to know about the difficulties they experienced when they sensed something was wrong with their bodies and the need to search for answers by going from provider to provider. Once they were correctly diagnosed, they faced complex physical, spiritual, and psychological needs associated with an incurable illness. The women's symptoms are described to enable nurses to educate women about the symptoms of ovarian cancer and to evaluate their risk factors. In addition, the women provided key insights into approaches and strategies for facing death while embracing life.
