Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Union Institute, 1999.

The researcher conducted a phenomenological study of the experiences of dying cancer patients and their family caregivers (N = 19) as described by their own narratives. A total of two hundred and forty one interactions occurred primarily at home or in the hospital (including 107 telephone interviews). Almost half of the interviews were tape-recorded and then transcribed verbatim; remaining interviews were recorded by hand. Of the patients interviewed all but one were deceased by the end of the study. Both content analysis and thematic analysis were utilized to identify the pertinent themes and issues for the participants in the study. The five major categories of content analysis included physical, psychological, social, and existential well-being and financial concerns. Although these concerns existed for all the participants, the relevance and importance given to each varied slightly with the groups. Four themes emerged from thematic content analysis: Theme 1: Dying patients create meaningful rituals and participate in an ongoing life review ("making memories"). Theme 2: Patients need to expand and make sense and find meaning in their lives as well as their deaths. Theme 3: Patients and family caregivers place importance on their continuation of existing treatment and/or seeking alternative, non-traditional therapies. Theme 4: Both patients and family caregivers identify loss as persistent, consistent and recurrent theme. These losses took many different forms.
