Objective: To describe and analyze the experience of social isolation in patients with bladder cancer, and to provide evidence for developing intervention strategies for social isolation in these patients. Methods: A phenomenological research approach was used. Fourteen patients with bladder cancer, who visited a grade Ⅲ and first-class hospital in Tianjin from August 2023 to November 2023, were selected as the study subjects. Face-to-face semi-structured interviews were conducted, and Colaizzi′s seven-step method was used to synthesize and extract themes. Results: Two main themes were identified, including subjective social isolation and objective social isolation. Seven sub-themes emerged, including feelings of loneliness, a sense of burden, negative perceptions of threats, feelings of life disparity or numbness, changes in interests and hobbies, decline in social engagement, and the formation of a family cocoon. Conclusion: The experience of social isolation in bladder cancer patients mainly includes subjective and objective aspects of social isolation. Healthcare providers should develop a social network for bladder cancer patients, guided by family involvement and personal interests, by focusing on individualized care, family support, and reallocation of social information resources.

Methods: By means of content analysis, 10 international students who were in our hospital for clinical practice were selected to conduct semi-structured interview, collect and summarize the interview data to extract key information, and analyze the underlying problems, so as to find the best solution. Results: According to the interviewed foreign students, there were some problems, such as weak clinical communication ability, few operational opportunities, and post competence should be improved.
