Textual Analysis of Narratives Produced by Adolescent Oncology Patients: A Research Project

Recruiting now

Conditions studied: Cancer

In brief

This research project builds on a long-standing tradition within our Institute of documenting "free thoughts" and personal reflections shared by adolescent oncology patients and their families. These narratives, collected through "logbooks" in ward rooms and during dedicated events-including those focused on the COVID-19 pandemic-represent a profound tool for patients to reclaim their identity beyond their diagnosis. The aim is to stimulate and collect patient narratives to better understand their emotional and lived experiences. By analyzing these spontaneous writings, the study aims to improve clinical practice, enhance the patient-provider relationship, and optimize the overall healthcare organization.
