Seeing the self again: A phenomenological photo elicitation study of Italian laryngectomy survivors
Photo elicitation allowed participants to express survivorship experiences beyond verbal communication, providing unique insights into identity reconstruction, resistance to stigma, and envisioning a future after life-altering surgery. Findings suggest visual methods can enhance psychosocial care and promote person-centered communication in oncology settings.
