摘要

目的尽管对癌症患者护理者的研究日益增多,但对老年结直肠癌患者配偶的护理经验仍缺乏详细了解。本研究旨在通过考察中国老年结直肠癌患者配偶在姑息化疗期间的护理经验来填补这一空白。方法采用定性描述设计,我们招募了接受姑息化疗的老年结直肠癌患者的配偶护理者。结果16名年龄在60至82岁之间的护理人员参与了访谈。分析揭示了三大主题:矛盾心理、多重角色适应冲突以及希望与压力并存。这些主题揭示了老年护理者的行为和他们所面临的挑战,包括与老龄化相关的身体和社会心理问题。结论这项研究强调了老年护理者所经历的巨大压力和挑战,其特点是交织在一起的情绪,如对配偶健康恶化的焦虑、长期护理责任带来的疲惫以及对治疗结果的预期。

Caring through uncertainty: a qualitative exploration of older colorectal cancer caregivers’ experiences during palliative chemotherapy

Caring through uncertainty: a qualitative exploration of older colorectal cancer caregivers’ experiences during palliative chemotherapy

Purpose

Despite the increasing research on cancer patient caregivers, there is still a lack of detailed understanding about the experiences of spouses caring for elderly colorectal cancer patients. This study aimed to fill this gap by examining the caregiving experiences of spouses during palliative chemotherapy for elderly Chinese colorectal cancer patients.

Methods

Using a qualitative descriptive design, we recruited spousal caregivers of elderly colorectal cancer patients undergoing palliative chemotherapy. Semistructured interviews were conducted, and thematic analysis was employed to analyse the data.

Results

Sixteen caregivers aged 60 to 82 years participated in the interviews. The analysis revealed three main themes: ambivalence, multiple role adaptation to conflicts, and the coexistence of hope and pressure. These themes shed light on the behaviors of older caregivers and the challenges they face, including physical and psychosocial issues associated with aging.

Conclusion

This study highlights the significant stress and challenges experienced by older caregivers, characterized by intertwined emotions such as anxiety about their spouses’ health deterioration, exhaustion from long-term care responsibilities, and anticipation of treatment outcomes.
