PURPOSE: To report concept analyses of Embodying Identity in chemotherapy-induced alopecia. %26lt;br%26gt;DESIGN AND METHODS: A case study approach was used to explore experiences of alopecia. Atranscribed interview was analyzed using phenomenological methods. FINDINGSAND %26lt;br%26gt;PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Embodying Identity was supported by themes from the interview and defined as the way in which persons change how they view self (mind, body, spirit) in an effort to reconcile physical or body alterations. Individuals pass through this process experiencing feelings of %26quot; it%26apos;s not me%26quot; to recognition of self with changes (%26quot; but, it%26apos;s me%26quot;) and finally, acceptance and incorporation into self (%26quot; it%26apos;s me%26quot;).
