The study pays special attention to the individual's communicative relationship with the patient, in which they are forced to "deal with" cancer as an illness within particular individual and socio-cultural contexts. Based on narrative analysis, the study demonstrates three complex and strategic ways in which these individuals interact with cancer patients. First, individuals who maintain intimate relationships with cancer patients make efforts to avoid expressing empathy with or sympathy toward the cancer patient. Second, these individuals value participating in daily and mundane routines with the cancer patient. Third, these individuals relinquish leadership in their interactions with the cancer patient and, in terms of the communicative relationship, become rather a follower. In the particular individual and socio-cultural contexts, the communicative experience of those who maintain intimate relationships with cancer patients is not necessarily nor always one which can be described with terms such as supportive, care-giving, or powerful. This contrasts with commonly used terms to describe the communicative role and experience of cancer patients in the contexts of cure and care, in which they are described as powerless and in need of support and care.}, pages = {117--134}, title = {がん患者の周囲の者が体験する「がんという病い」 : コミュニケーションの体験についての考察}, volume = {102}, year = {2011}, yomi = {フナヤマ, イズミ and フナヤマ, イズミ} }
