A phenomenological study of the cultural lived experiences among Angolan women with breast cancer
The present study has implications for nursing, as it recognises that individuals have unique behaviours and thoughts related to their current understanding of the illness, their personal experience with the illness, and their specific beliefs about health and healing. The findings of this study provide essential insights into how Angolan women's cultural beliefs and practices shape their experiences with breast cancer, offering nurses a foundation to develop culturally competent care approaches.
