Abstract

I-Poems are a postmodern form of poetic inquiry that can be used alongside thematic analysis to explore personal meaning of caring for someone with advanced cancer and how FCGs experience personal transformation of self. Although we found I-Poems to be a meaningful and useful form of analysis for some narrative data, we propose an evolved genre of poetic inquiry—We-Poems—to be used in dyadic nursing research and with FCGs who are in partnered relationships.
