Isolation and prayer as means of solace for Arab women with breast cancer: An in ‐depth interview study
ConclusionsArab women with breast cancer experienced a myriad of social, cultural, psychological, and relationship difficulties that impacted their overall health and wellbeing. The findings also found that these women were not passive agents. They sought to problem solve, move forward, and re‐create the meanings in their lives in their own unique ways. Action is needed for possible ways to implement religion‐health partnerships between breast cancer nurses, peer‐led support groups, palliative care services, and religious institutions.
