Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the psychological experience of physical privacy protection during critical care for postoperative lung cancer patients.Methods:This study adopted the descriptive phenomenology method. From January 5 to 31, 2022, purposive sampling was used to select 20 postoperative lung cancer patients from Tongji University affiliated Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital for semi-structured in-depth interviews. The interview data was processed using the Colaizzi 7-step analysis method.Results:This study extracted 4 themes, including emphasizing privacy protection, being involuntary after operation, attitudes and reactions to privacy exposure (understanding and acceptance, complaints and doubts, indifference and conformity, shame and helplessness, sensitivity and resistance), needs and expectations (patients performing life care themselves, same-sex nursing procedures, and negotiating with patients before operation) .Conclusions:Postoperative lung cancer patients have a high sensitivity to exposing their private parts of the body during critical care. Patients have a negative psychological state after exposing their physical privacy, and there is a high need and expectation for physical privacy protection.
