Sammanfattning
This article presents an interviewbased
investigation of life experiences
and health in women managing
rehabilitation on their own,
following cervix cancer surgery.
The investigation was based on
interviews with nine women who
underwent surgery for cervix
cancer.
The theoretical starting point is
phenomenological hermeneutics
including the text analysis method
of Paul Ricoeur. In the analysis,
the data are thematized in three
different categories: To be a body,
to be a person and to be a part of
a community.
The interpretation includes the
rehabilitation concept involving
the patient’s participation in the
process, as well as Virginia Henderson’s
perception of the nurse’s
function in strengthening the patient’s
healing process on the basis
of knowledge, will and strength.
The results of the investigation
show, that common characteristics
in women who consider
themselves rehabilitated, are selfesteem
and strength to be active in
the rehabilitation process. Moreover,
they have personal resources
to take care of their own body and
femininity, they are in good spirits,
and they are committed to life.
Furthermore, a good network is
an important external resource in
women’s rehabilitation.
The conclusion of future rehabilitation
effort is that nurses must
develop health promotion strategies
that release the necessary
personal and external resources in
the rehabilitation process.
