Abstract
To explore symptom clusters, symptom experiences, and self-management strategies in patients with cervical cancer undergoing concurrent chemoradiotherapy. A qualitative descriptive approach was used. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with patients with cervical cancer using an interview guide. The audio recording of the interviews was transcribed. Thematic analysis was conducted using Colaizzi's seven-step framework. Thirteen participants were interviewed. The mean age of the participants was 47years. Three themes were identified: (a) Struggle for survival among patients reintegrating into society; (b) Overcoming self-management challenges; and (c) Resilience and adaptation in the face of adversity. Individuals diagnosed with cervical cancer who undergo concurrent chemoradiotherapy often experience various clusters of symptoms. Despite facing challenges in self-management, these patients maintain a positive attitude and persistently strive to coexist harmoniously with their health conditions.
