本研究的目的是通过深入的半结构访谈，探索黎巴嫩癌症患者家庭照顾者的生活经历，并更好地了解他们的经历的含义和解释。研究设计基于乌得勒支现象学学派。本研究采用有目的的抽样方法，选取了9名平均年龄为51岁的受试者。使用基于乌得勒支现象学学派的解释学现象学方法对数据进行分析。从采访中得出了描述参与者生活经历的八个核心主题：生活在恐惧和不确定中，失去幸福，感到额外的责任感，生活在紧急状态中，分担痛苦，生活在说真话的两难境地，被同情所困扰，以及依赖上帝。这项研究的结果要求护士意识到家庭照顾者所遇到的性质和困难。
The purpose of this study was to explore, through in-depth semistructured interviews, the lived experience of Lebanese family caregivers of cancer patients and acquire a better knowledge of the meaning and interpretation of their experience. The study design was based on the Utrecht School of Phenomenology. This study followed purposeful sampling, in which 9 participants with a mean age of 51 years were selected. Data were analyzed using the hermeneutic phenomenological approach based on the Utrecht School of Phenomenology. Eight core themes describing the participants' lived experience emerged from the interviews: living with fears and uncertainty, loss of happiness, feeling of added responsibility, living in a state of emergency, sharing the pain, living the dilemma of truth telling, disturbed by being pitied, and reliance on God. The results of this study challenge nurses to be conscious of the nature and difficulties that family caregivers are encountering.
