The purpose of the study was to investigate the impact of breast cancer on the lived experience of families with adolescents, as perceived by the patient, spouse, and adolescent, and the family unit. Family systems, family development, and Combrinck-Graham's family spiral model were the guiding theories for this qualitative study. The convenience sample of families included in this study came from cancer support programs within a midwestern metropolitan region.

520 $a The purpose of the study was to investigate the impact of breast cancer on the lived experience of families with adolescents, as perceived by the patient, spouse, and adolescent, and the family unit. Family systems, family development, and Combrinck-Graham's family spiral model were the guiding theories for this qualitative study. The convenience sample of families included in this study came from cancer support programs within a midwestern metropolitan region.
520 $a Five families were interviewed. The women had been diagnosed with Stage I or II non-metastatic breast cancer and had completed their adjunctive therapy. The diagnosis of breast cancer had been made within the fourteen months prior to the interviews. Interviews with the patients, spouses, and adolescents and the family unit explored the research questions: What is the impact of breast cancer on the individual lived experience of the patient, spouse, and adolescent? What is the impact of breast cancer on the lived experience of the families with adolescents?
520 $a The themes identified from the patient interviews included gathering support, becoming self-focused, decision making, and expanding focus to family. The interviews with the spouses revealed the themes of becoming focused on their wives and breast cancer, taking action/coping, fear of not being able to meet their spouses' or children's needs, feeling responsible for the family's well-being, being protective of their spouse's needs, returning to normal, and sharing with others. Themes identified from the adolescent interviews included: not knowing, changes of family roles and awareness of behavior, and altering plans. Themes unique to the family interviews included: anxious beginnings, spiritual experience, role of humor, positive reform, increasing appreciation of each other, and honor and celebration.
520 $a Implications for nursing and psychotherapy research, theory, and practice were identified. This knowledge will prove useful in developing strategies for caring for these individuals.
