Abstract:Objective To explore the illness experiences of cervical cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy based on stakeholder theory.Methods A descriptive phenomenological research method was employed to conduct narrative and semi-structured interviews with 15 cervical cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy, as well as 12 gynecolo-gic oncology healthcare professionals.Data were analyzed using Colaizzi′s seven-step analysis method.Results Three main themes and ten sub-themes were identified:disruption of bodily integrity (digestive system damage, changes in the genitourinary system, and skin alterations), disruption of identity sequence (changes in social roles, adjustments in family roles, and self-identity crisis), and new disruptions and impacts in rehabilitation (disruptions in medical care services, changes in dietary habits, difficulties in social reintegration, and fear of cancer recurrence).Conclusion The illness experiences of cervical cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy and/or chemothe-rapy are complex and diverse.Therefore, healthcare professionals should promptly assess patients′ conditions and feelings to develop targeted interventions to alleviate their physical and psychological sufferings.
