Abstract

The article focuses on a phenomenological study conducted in Gumushane, Turkiye, which explores the experiences of individuals undergoing chemotherapy for cancer.

The study identified significant psychological, physical, and social impacts on the participants and highlighted various coping strategies, including yoga, the Mediterranean diet, and music therapy. The researchers recommend that individuals undergoing chemotherapy consider these alternative methods to effectively manage their symptoms. [Extracted from the article]
