{"title":"Experiences of Women With Breast Cancer and Their Partners in Achieving Coherence as a Couple During the Disease Journey","authors":"Luz Patricia Díaz-Heredia,&nbsp;Luz Stella Bueno-Robles,&nbsp;Martha Patricia Bejarano Beltrán,&nbsp;Myriam Patricia Pardo Torres","doi":"10.1016/j.nwh.2023.10.005","DOIUrl":"10.1016/j.nwh.2023.10.005","url":null,"abstract":"<div><h3>Objective</h3><p>To describe the experiences of female patients with breast cancer and their partners in achieving coherence as a couple during the disease journey.</p></div><div><h3>Design</h3><p>Qualitative study.</p></div><div><h3>Setting</h3><p>Colombia, South America.</p></div><div><h3>Participants</h3><p>Women diagnosed with breast cancer in the last 2 years and their intimate partners with whom they lived during the 6 months before study enrollment. In total, 16 heterosexual couples participated in individual interviews and focus groups.</p></div><div><h3>Method</h3><p>Interviews and focus groups were analyzed using content analysis.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>Four themes were identified: <em>The Diagnosis: A Moment That Destabilizes the Couple</em>, <em>Couple’s Sexuality: Seeking the Best Conditions Between Desire and Reality, Generating Mutually Supportive Dynamics in the Face of Cancer</em>, and <em>The Transformation of a Negative Situation Into a Positive One and Achieving Coherence Within the Couple</em>. The first theme represents the initial moment of uncertainty and emotional reactions due to the confirmation of the diagnosis of breast cancer. The second captures the physical and emotional effects in the couple’s sexuality generated by the treatment and diagnosis as well as the strategies used to strengthen the couple’s relationship. The third reflects how the couple’s support is based on commitment, companionship, and the performance of daily actions. The last describes how the adaptation process allows couples experiencing the disease to achieve coherence.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>These findings highlight that couples experiencing breast cancer can transform the negative situation into an opportunity to strengthen their relationship by achieving coherence. Future research is needed to investigate the antecedents, attributes, and outcomes related to couples’ coherence. Moreover, health professionals should perform periodic assessments on the dynamics, coping strategies, and resources at couples’ disposal to help promote couples’ adaptation and coherence.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":39985,"journal":{"name":"Nursing for Women''s Health","volume":"28 2","pages":"Pages 135-142"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139984136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In fact, burnout among health care workers is one of the four priorities of the U.S. Surgeon General. Health care leaders and organizations are eager to implement strategies to improve nurses’ well-being and, thus, enhance their mental health. Much of the literature has focused on the antecedents and consequences of nursing burnout, but there is limited information on strategies that protect perinatal nurses from burnout. Self-compassion is emerging as one strategy that has a positive correlation with nurse well-being and a negative association with burnout, depression, and anxiety. In this article, we identify and translate strategies to promote self-compassion in perinatal nurses.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":39985,"journal":{"name":"Nursing for Women''s Health","volume":"28 2","pages":"Pages 159-167"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140089652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The midwifery-led care model is a relatively new concept in India. In 2018, guidelines on midwifery services in India were released during the Partners Forum held in New Delhi as the initiation of the model and with the support of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. The initiative began with the training of nurse practitioners in midwifery and is progressing.</p></div><div><h3>Participants</h3><p>Final-year diploma and bachelor’s degree students.</p></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><p>Participants completed an online survey, which consisted of a 20-item questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale to collect their knowledge and perceptions of the midwifery-led model of care. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the knowledge and perceptions of the students, including the mean, standard deviation, frequency, and percentage.
