Indonesian women diagnosed with breast cancer: A hermeneutic process

(2017) Indonesian women diagnosed with breast cancer: A hermeneutic process. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

The research purpose was to construct a hermeneutic understanding of the experience of Indonesian women diagnosed with breast cancer. The research was grounded in Gadamerian philosophy which informed data generation and analysis. The breast cancer experience appeared as an indiscriminate group of actions and events that had no clear beginning, middle and end. The temporal frames through which the women interpreted their worlds and acted, if not arbitrary, were ever shifting and did not exist as a coherent whole. The findings emphasise the importance of bringing a lens that juxtaposes the social, cultural, and historical realms to the temporal experience.
