Participants Needed

Have you been diagnosed with either cancer, end-stage renal disease, or HIV+ status and are at least 12 months past diagnosis?

Would you be willing to share your experience of
living with one of these illnesses?

If you answered “yes” to both of these questions:
We are interested in speaking with you about the possibility of participating in a study being conducted by faculty members from the University of Victoria, School of Nursing.

The purpose of this study is:
To gain an understanding of the experiences of living with the uncertainty of illness. Further, we wish to explore people’s stories of living with illness and how these experiences shift over time.
You will be asked to:

• Participate in up to 3 interviews over 14 months
• Each interview will be tape recorded and last 60-90 minutes
• Engage in a conversation with a researcher to learn about your experiences.

An honorarium worth $50 will be provided at the end of the study.

The interviews will be arranged at a time and location convenient for you within Greater Victoria.

If you are interested in participating,
please contact Linda or Kara at (250) 721-8051 or
