| Abstract | This inquiry aimed to; (1) examine the psychosocial and emotional sequelae associated with cancer patient-hood experience in healthcare professionals (HCPs) in Uganda, (2) generate evidence to inform clinical and nursing practice about the needs of HCP patients with cancer. This was a qualitative phenomenological study. The study was conducted among HCP cancer patients and survivors recruited from oncology and palliative care settings in Uganda. Data were collected via audio-taped, face-to-face or telephone open-ended interviews. Interviews were transcribed verbatim. Thematic analysis was used. Eight HCP cancer patients and survivors participated in the study. Their mean age was 56 years, range 29-85 years. Three major themes emerged: (1) From a healthcare provider to a patient, (2) Socioeconomic challenges, and (3) Coping and support strategies. [Abstract copyright: © 2022 The Authors.
