Résumé
This study explored cancer caregivers' individual and communal coping through their use of personal and communal pronouns during naturally occurring conversations. Nurse-home hospice visits involving cancer patients and their partner caregivers were audio recorded and then transcribed. Pronoun use was analyzed using Linguistic Inquiry Word Count (LIWC) software and descriptive statistics compared patient and partner caregivers' pronoun use. Personal and communal pronoun use was examined within six identified topics of caregiver speech: patient medical care, daily life, emotion, criticism/disagreement, relationships with family/friends, and asserting needs. Dyads ( Partner caregivers may find it easier to express emotions related to communal stressors, rather than their individual ability to cope with end-of-life caregiving. Examining personal and communal pronoun use by partner caregivers during nurse-home hospice visits may provide a more objective measure of caregiver coping than standard self-report measures.
