本研究旨在介绍乳腺癌患者化疗期间推拿的经验。10名患者在5个场合接受了按摩。运用乔尔基的现象学研究思想对他们进行了访谈和分析。在化疗期间接受按摩的本质意义被描述为从对化疗的不安中退却。结果揭示了五个主题：患者经历了从可怕的经历中分心，从消极转为积极，放松的感觉，对关怀的确认，最后他们只是感觉良好。总而言之，这项研究的发现表明，按摩可以让患者摆脱与化疗相关的不安、不想要的、消极的感觉。这是一种可以添加到肿瘤工作人员可用治疗选择库中的治疗方法。
This study aimed to describe the experience of massage for breast cancer patients during chemotherapy treatment. Ten patients received massage at five occasions. They were interviewed and analysis was conducted using Giorgi's ideas of phenomenological research. The essential meaning of getting massage during chemotherapy was described as a retreat from the feeling of uneasiness toward chemotherapy. Results revealed five themes: the patients experienced distraction from the frightening experience, a turn from negative to positive, a sense of relaxation, a confirmation of caring, and finally they just felt good. In conclusion, the findings of this study show that massage offered a retreat from uneasy, unwanted, negative feelings connected with chemotherapy treatment. It is a treatment that can be added to the arsenal of treatment choices available to the oncological staff.
