Latina cancer survivors report higher levels of distress and depression and lower levels of social quality of life and overall health-related quality of life when compared with all other cancer survivors. Cultural values influence cancer survivorship; however, little research to date has examined how aspects of the Latina culture may be healing during the cancer journey. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to present findings from a qualitative study exploring the influence of culture on quality of life for Latina breast cancer survivors. The authors use consensual qualitative research to understand the lived experiences of Latina breast cancer survivors.

治愈的信念：对拉丁裔乳腺癌幸存者的定性探索

与所有其他癌症幸存者相比，拉丁裔癌症幸存者报告的窘迫和抑郁水平更高，社会生活质量和与健康相关的总体生活质量较低。文化价值观影响着癌症的生存。但是，迄今为止，很少有研究检查过拉丁文化的各个方面在癌症征途中可能如何得到治愈。因此，本文的目的是提出定性研究的发现，探讨文化对拉丁裔乳腺癌幸存者生活质量的影响。作者使用自愿定性研究来了解拉丁裔乳腺癌幸存者的生活经历。
