Abstract

The purpose of the study was to analyze the concept of happiness that would be experienced in life of Korean cancer survivors. The concepts of happiness were analyzed using the Rogers' evolutionary concept analysis method for 11 papers satisfying the selection criteria, among domestic journals published from January 2000 to September 2017. The result of this study was that attributes of happiness were subjective experience, positive mind, meaning of life and formation of relationship. Antecedents were to accept-risk-of-life, cope-with-the-reality, implement-self-reflection and environmental-support. As a result of the concept, cancer survivors' inner strength increased, they became feeling love and pursuing new lives, and felt happiness through self-realization. This study is valuable to suggest a basic framework for the stepwise assessment that can improve the happiness of Korean cancer survivors and cancer survivors should be managed through multidisciplinary convergence programs.

본 연구는 한국 암 생존자의 삶에서 경험하는 행복감을 진화론적 개념분석 방법을 통해서 확인하고자 하였다. 분석 자료는 2000년 1월부터 2017년 9월까지 본 연구의 목적에 부합되는 11개의 논문을 분석하였다. 그 결과 한국 암 생존자의 행복감에서 나타나는 속성은 마음의 평정을 이루는 주관적 경험, 삶의 만족감과 안녕감을 위한 긍정적 마음, 작은 것의 소중함과 고마움을 깨닫게 되는 삶의 의미, 타인을 이해하고 도우며 더불어 살아가는 삶을 위한 관계형성이었다. 선행요인으로는 삶의 위기를 수용하고 현실에 대처하며 자기성찰과 환경적 지지가 이루어지는 것이며, 결과요인은 내면의 힘이 증가하고, 사랑을 느끼며, 새로운 삶을 추구하고, 자기실현을 이루게 된다. 본 연구는 한국 암 생존자의 행복감을 증진시킬 수 있는 단계적 사정을 위한 기본틀을 제시하였다는데 의의가 있으며, 다학제적 융합프로그램을 통한 암 생존자 관리가 이루어져야 할 것이다.
