Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to explore and describe the experience of breast cancer self-help group activities in Korea.
Methods: The data were collected via individual in-depth interviews with 8 women with breast cancer, who participated in self-help groups during 2012~2013. All interviews were audio-taped and transcribed, and they were analyzed using a phenomenological method.
Results: Six theme clusters were identified. ¡°Breakthrough toward survival¡± describes how the participants identified self-help groups and got involved in the activities. ¡°Genuine comfort obtained by ¡®misery loves company¡¯ deals with the emotional relief and catharsis. ¡°New life fully recharged¡± demonstrates the changed belief system and the joy for life and living. ¡°Rebirth in family¡± deals with how family dynamics has been changed. ¡°Societal change by raising collective consciousness¡± illustrates many activities to improve their rights and advocate employment issues. ¡°Obstacles to the group harmony¡± illustrates the major difficulties including interpersonal conflicts the participants encountered during their participation.
Conclusion: The results of the study showed that participating in self-help groups was mostly beneficial for women with breast cancer. Therefore, oncology professionals need to encourage them to participate in self-help groups and also need to provide professional support to self-help groups for their harmonious interpersonal relationships.
