Frequency of Maxillofacial Injuries and Accompanying Types of Maxillofacial Fractures

Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore lived experiences of partners of breast cancer survivors. Methods: A descriptive phenomenological study approach was used. Participants were purposively sampled from a University hospital in Turkey. Semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with 12 partners of breast cancer survivors. Results: Three themes were identified: difficulties, re-adaptation to life, and new perspectives in life. Conclusion: Healthcare professionals should investigate the stressors and psychosocial well-being of the partners in follow-ups. In addition, partners should be supported with psychoeducational programs for understanding women’s changes, post-treatment symptom management, emotional expression and open communication. Özet: Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı meme kanseri tedavisini tamamlamış kadınların eşlerinin yaşam deneyimlerinin açıklanmasıdır. Yöntem: Çalışmada tanımlayıcı fenomenoloji yaklaşımı kullanılmıştır. Katılımcılar bir Üniversitesi hastanesinden amaçlı örnekleme yöntemi ile belirlenmiştir. Yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler 12 eşle yürütülmüştür. Bulgular: Çalışmada güçlükler, yaşama yeniden adaptasyon ve yaşamda yeni bakış açıları olmak üzere üç tema belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: Sağlık profesyonelleri tedavi sonrası dönem izlemlerinde eşlerin stresörlerini ve psikososyal iyi oluşluklarını değerlendirmelidirler. Ayrıca, eşler, tedavi sonrası semptom yönetimi, kadının deneyimlediği değişimler, duygu ifadesi ve açık iletişim konularında psikoeğitsel müdahalelerle desteklenmelidir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Eşler, meme kanseri, tedavi sonrası dönem, kalitatif araştırma.
