Research has indicated that careful consideration should be given to the design of randomized control trials using qigong due to the conflicting philosophical methodologies. In the United States, qigong has been under investigated, particularly lacking are qualitative inquiries into qigong use and cancer survivorship. This study is an interpretative phenomenological inquiry that sought to understand women’s experience of qigong in the context of cancer survivorship in the United States. The study included twelve adult women at various phases of cancer survivorship. Participants provided interviews related to their experience. The qualitative interpretative phenomenological methodology provided a framework through which a deeper understanding of the lived experience of the participants could be achieved. Thus, a deeper insight was gained into the shared meaning of qigong use in the lives of women who have lived with cancer.
