- A previous study indicated that patient narratives include experiences of suffering caused or increased by health-care encounters. The aim of this study was to interpret and understand the meaning of patients' experiences of suffering related to health care from an ethical, existential and ontological standpoint. Sixteen women with breast cancer in Sweden and Finland took part in qualitative interviews analysed with a hermeneutic, interpretive approach. The outcome showed that suffering related to health care is a complex phenomenon and constitutes an ethical challenge to health-care personnel. The women's experiences of suffering related to health care tended to be of similar seriousness as their experiences of suffering in relation to having cancer. In an ethical, existential and ontological sense, suffering related to health care is basically a matter of neglect and uncaring where the patient's existential suffering is not seen and she is not viewed as a whole human being.

- In this study, qualitative content analysis was used in order to understand the reported changes of life perspective in interviews with 59 women with breast cancer who were admitted to complementary care. The aim of this research was to study women's perceived consequences as well as perceived causes of breast cancer and to explore aspects of importance to the women. The material was collected in semistructured interviews from women with breast cancer at different stages of the disease. The women received complementary care at an anthroposophic clinic in Sweden. Findings showed that these women's view of their relationships with others grew more valuable. Their self-confidence and experience of strength improved, and they regarded life as being more enriched. A change in their disposition towards becoming more fragile and low-spirited was experienced as a hardship by the women. Am interesting finding was that the patients described the aetiology of the disease from several interacting perspectives, which also affected their ideas of how to achieve wellbeing and health. The findings support the view that changes of both benefit and harm are present in the experience of breast cancer.

Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- När livet förändras eller hotas av sjukdom eller olycka aktualiseras en mängd etiska frågor. Hur hanterar man människor i livsavgörande skeenden? Hur kan man som vårdpersonal i sådana situationer se, bli delaktig i och lindra lidandet? Vårdande som lindrar lidande tar upp dessa viktiga frågor.Läs merMed nya vårdvetenskapliga teoriansatser, inspirerade av Katie Eriksson, omsätter författarna det abstrakta vårdtänkandet till ett mer praktiskt vårdande.

Den är framför allt givande för studenter och yrkesverksamma inom hälso- och sjukvården.Om författarnaMaria Arman är leg. sjuksköterska, leg. barnmorska, doktor i vårdvetenskap och biträdande universitetslektor i omvårdnad vid Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm.

Family Suffering Related to War Experiences : an Interpretative Synopsis Review of the Literature from a Caring Science Perspective
- 2006

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this study was to conduct a synopsis review of findings from families' experiences related to combat and war events and to interpret these findings from the perspective of theories of suffering. The method used in the study was a synopsis review of 12 articles dealing with family suffering related to war or combat experiences and an interpretation of the articles from a caring science perspective. Findings from the synopsis review were that the dominant part of the articles viewed suffering in general and post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD) in particular from a medical, psychiatric or psychologically behaviouristic perspective. PTSD and other distress-related conditions were mainly described in terms of their symptoms and dealt with in terms of pathology. The interpretation of the articles from a caring science perspective generated three significant themes: first, interdependence as a spiritual dimension of dependence, secondly, familial communion as sharing moral and spiritual values and thirdly, familial suffering visualized by compassion. The study's conclusion is that, from a caring science perspective, the appearance of family suffering should be comprehended in terms of expressed compassion and that any disturbance within familial communion is likely to have an emotional impact on all of the family members, as a result of their interdependence
