초록

본 연구는 성인여성의 주양육자인 어머니와의 사별에 대한 정서경험(emotional experience)의 본질적 의미를 탐구하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 어머니와 사별경험이 있는 성인여성 3명을 대상으로 삶의 경험과 그 의미를 심층면접방법으로 진행하였다. 수집된 자료의 분석은 Colaizzi의 현상학적 연구방법으로 적용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과를 도출하는 방법으로 어머니를 사별한 성인여성이 겪은 정서경험에 대한 본질과 자신과 가족들의 삶에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구를 실시하여 '사별경험', '정서경험', '관계경험', '성장경험' 4개의 범주가 도출되었다. 본 연구는 애착대상인 어머니의 죽음으로 인하여 고통과 상실의 외상을 겪었음에도 시간의 경과와 극복의지에 따라 긍정적인 삶의 변화로 치유해감으로써 회복과 성장 도모에 기여한 점에 의의가 있다.
