Le rapport aux traitements médicamenteux chez des personnes atteintes d’un cancer incurable

À notre époque, l’expérience pharmacologique de la maladie cancéreuse est devenue d’une grande complexité. Cette étude poursuit comme objectif de mieux connaître et comprendre le rapport que des personnes affligées d’un cancer incurable entretiennent à l’égard des traitements médicamenteux. Un devis qualitatif faisant appel à une analyse de contenu par théorisation a été retenu. L’analyse de l’ensemble des récits révèle que le rapport développé par les sujets rencontrés à l’égard des traitements médicamenteux s’inscrit dans une logique de combat.
