• W4286293560 abstract "e24134 Background: Limited research suggests that war metaphors may be harmful for patients with cancer. For instance, it has been claimed that the use of war metaphors is associated with increased anxiety and depression, as well as poor coping for patients with cancer. However, little is known about how patients use and perceive these metaphors. Metaphors, which are intrinsic to the human conceptual system, help articulate patients’ experiences and needs. In this study, we explored patient narratives of illness metaphors in cancer, focusing particularly on war metaphors. Methods: Fifteen patients diagnosed with various stages of lung, colorectal or breast cancer completed semi-structured qualitative interviews about their use of metaphors after their cancer diagnoses. Interviews explored war metaphors in the context of treatment decisions, aggressiveness of care, and quality of life. Patients were also provided with a curated list of metaphors and asked about their use and experience thereof. Transcribed interviews were organized and analyzed by descriptive content analysis using NVivo software. Results: The most used metaphor categories were: 1) nature (e.g., journey, season); 2) militaristic (e.g., battle, victory, fight); and 3) uncertainty (e.g., mystery, puzzle). War metaphors were frequently referenced in patients’ support communities rather than in hospital or clinician encounters. Next, all patients with non-metastatic disease (n = 7) used war metaphors to describe their illness experience. Among all patients who used metaphorical language to describe their experience (n = 14), the only ones who did not use war metaphors (n = 2) had metastatic disease; these patients found war metaphors to be unhelpful due to their sense of having no control over the outcome. Lastly, participants reported that war metaphors served the following purposes in their illness experience with cancer: 1) promoted perseverance in the face of adversity, 2) expressed optimism, and 3) allowed them to relate cancer to previous life challenges. Conclusions: The hypothesis that war metaphors are invariably counterproductive for patients appears to be misguided. Metaphors of fighting, victory and battle worked both to empower and harm patients in this study, depending on the individual patient and their prognosis. While more prospective studies with robust sample sizes are needed to elucidate the role of metaphors in the lived experience of patients with cancer, our patients suggest the need to individualize, acknowledge and explore these metaphors for cancer populations." @default.
