Sammanfattning

Cancer case management has attracted major focus in Denmark. During the past 10 years, there has been focus on relieving the organizational transitions in the cancer processes. The purpose of this study was to gain insight into women’s experience of the organizational transitions in connection with being treated for breast cancer. Twelve qualitative, semi structured interviews were conducted with women half way through their treatment. The analysis consisted of a systematic text condensation to identify meaningful units coded to two themes: 1) the women’s experience of lack to little control with the treatment process – who is keeping track of me? and 2) the women’s experience of lack of cohesion in the transitions between departments. Studies show, that increasing awareness on easing the challenges in the treatment process, plays a factor in increasing the women’s experience of control, and thereby the possibility of developing coping mechanisms. Nurses play an integral role as a case manager in creating overview and continuity, which are the key elements in manage the challenge from being sick to becoming well and able to cope life. The case manager not only ensures that the treatment process is as scheduled but must build a close relationship with the women.
