Illness Experiences of Advanced Cancer Patients in Taiwan
The illness experiences of advanced cancer patients are discussed in a Taiwanese cultural context, using an interpretive ethnographic approach (interviews and participant observations) emphasizing holism and symbolic interactionism. A total of 23 advanced cancer patients from different counties in Taiwan were recruited over a 42-month period.

Uses and Perspectives of Aging Well Terminology in Taiwanese and International Literature
The aim of this study is to examine aging well (AW) terminology in Taiwan in its local and global contexts, and to suggest ways of communication by Taiwanese professionals that is sensitive to the lay public’s preferences. Researchers conducted a systematic review using Khan et al.’s strategy, and Harden and Thomas’ method, to sift through seven databases and synthesize diverse studies on AW. Primary aging well terms used in English and Chinese, …
Recovery Through Reconnection
Using reanalyzed data from ethnographic research performed in Taiwan during the 1990s, the authors inspect Taiwanese cultural patterns as they affect adaptation to loss in the form of death. The data include participant observations and the narratives of 52 widows and 30 of their children. An analysis of interview transcripts suggests that the most common form of return to a harmony house among the participants was achieving a sense of reconnecti…
Conceptualizing and Critiquing Culture in Health Research
Given the growing diversity of U.S. society, the federal mandates for health research with multicultural populations, and persistent confusion about the concept of culture, the purpose of this article is to present various definitions and biases of culture as found in current nursing research. By addressing various definitions and biases, the debates can help investigators become more culturally sensitive, avoid serious pitfalls, and eventually e…
Adaptation as Meaning Construction
Using 35 Taiwanese widows as examples, the author argues that interpretations of adaptation to spousal death must be made within a cultural context. The process of adaptation associated with spousal death is analyzed in light of data collected from personal interviews, support group discussions, diary entries, and self-narratives. Results indicate that Taiwanese widows incorporate several dynamic processes into their meaning constructions and gra…
No More the Same
This article offers a reconstruction of the life worlds of 30 adolescents, aged 9 to 18, from 20 families who have lost their fathers through death. Through interviews designed to measure the impact of culture on adolescent coping, six themes on rebuilding their lives, "no more the same," were identified: (1) isolation from death, (2) incompleteness, (3) staying inside, (4) worrying with mother, (5) building connections with fathers, and (6) rest…
A Single Leaf Orchid
Based on interviews with 35 Taiwanese widows, the authors analyze indigenous beliefs and meanings associated with spousal death. The most common death-related beliefs brought up in these widows' narratives were attributing human characteristics to or deifying deceased husbands, fearing ghosts, perceiving the presence of the deceased, describing the idea of a good death, and responding ambivalently to the traditional taboo against crying in the pr…
Coping Strategies of Taiwanese Widows Adapting to Loss
Adaptation strategies used by Taiwanese widows following the deaths of their spouses were identified and analyzed. Thirty-five Taiwanese widows representing a cross-section of such demographic features as rural/urban, ethnic background, age, and education level were interviewed. According to their descriptions, the five coping strategies most commonly used were keeping busy, shifting focus, speaking out, doing something for their deceased husband…
