          Abstract

          For many cancer survivors, post-treatment challenges are predominantly related to their personal and social lives. These challenges are part of an experiential learning process linked to a survivor’s identity, their desire to preserve independence, their social roles, and responsibilities along with a return to their normal lives. We used interpretive description to describe the experiential learning process of cancer survivors as they recover post-treatment. Data from five group discussions with 27 participants were combined with data from 9 in-depth individual interviews that examined post-treatment challenges. Through an iterative qualitative analysis, we uncovered 3 experiential learning pathways. Narrative vignettes are used to portray and highlight learning involved in accepting loss, asking for help, and rebuilding authentic social networks. Experiential learning shares recognizable features among individuals identified as milestones. These lead to a greater understanding of how cancer survivors acquire a new sense of self and recover their lives post-treatment.

          Translated abstract

          Pour de nombreux survivants du cancer, les défis post-traitement sont principalement associés à leur vie personnelle et sociale. Ces défis liés entre autres à l'identité du survivant, à son désir de préserver son indépendance, à ses rôles et responsabilités sociales ainsi qu'au retour à une vie normale font partie d'un processus d'apprentissage expérientiel. À l’aide de l’approche de description interprétative, le processus d'apprentissage expérientiel de survivants du cancer lors de leur rétablissement après la fin des traitements a été décrit. Au total, 27 participants ont pris part à des groupes de discussions ( n = 6) et des entrevues individuelles ( n = 9). À la suite d’une analyse qualitative itérative des données, trois parcours d'apprentissage expérientiel ont été dévoilés. Des vignettes narratives ont été utilisées pour dépeindre et mettre en évidence l'apprentissage lié à l'acceptation de la perte, à la demande d'aide et à la reconstruction de réseaux sociaux authentiques. L'apprentissage expérientiel partage des caractéristiques similaires parmi les individus pouvant être identifiés comme des jalons de ce parcours d’apprentissage. Ces derniers permettent de mieux comprendre comment les survivants du cancer acquièrent une nouvelle conscience de soi-même et se réapproprient leur vie après les traitements.

            A literature synthesis of symptom prevalence and severity in persons receiving active cancer treatment.

            Patients with cancer experience acute and chronic symptoms caused by their underlying disease or by the treatment. While numerous studies have examined the impact of various treatments on symptoms experienced by cancer patients, there are inconsistencies regarding the symptoms measured and reported in treatment trials. This article presents a systematic review of the research literature of the prevalence and severity of symptoms in patients undergoing cancer treatment.
