放射治疗是大多数乳腺癌女性治疗的重要组成部分，特别是那些接受保乳手术的女性。虽然在医学上是有益的，但放射治疗会对患者造成身体和心理上的损失。然而，对于接受乳腺癌放疗的女性所经历的具体思想和感受知之甚少。因此，本研究的目的是使用定性研究方法，根据15名0-III期乳腺癌女性在放射治疗期间完成的180篇日记，了解这些想法和感受。专题分析确定了参与者的四个主要关切：（a）对时间的关注;（B）对放射治疗后的生活的幻想（乐观和悲观）;（c）副作用对自尊的影响;（d）对放射治疗感到困惑。这些主题与以前关于疾病和身份的文献是一致的。这些发现对接受乳腺癌放射治疗的妇女的治疗和护理具有意义。
Radiotherapy is a critical component of treatment for the majority of women with breast cancer, particularly those who receive breast conserving surgery. Although medically beneficial, radiotherapy can take a physical and psychological toll on patients. However, little is known about the specific thoughts and feelings experienced by women undergoing breast cancer radiotherapy. Therefore, the study aim was to use qualitative research methods to develop an understanding of these thoughts and feelings based on 180 diary entries, completed during radiotherapy by 15 women with Stage 0-III breast cancer. Thematic analysis identified four primary participant concerns: (a) a preoccupation with time; (b) fantasies (both optimistic and pessimistic) about life following radiotherapy; (c) the toll their side-effect experience takes on their self-esteem; and (d) feeling mystified by radiotherapy. These themes are consistent with previous literature on illness and identity. These findings have implications for the treatment and care of women undergoing breast cancer radiotherapy.
