Purpose: The purpose of this study was to further understanding of the experience in acceptance of hospice by patients with terminal cancer and to explore the structure of this experience. Methods: A phenomenological methodology was used for the study. Participants were nine patients who were admitted to the hospice unit of a university hospital. In-depth interviews were done for data collection and the data were analyzed using Colaizzi's method. Results: Four categories, eight theme clusters and 18 themes were identified for the experience in acceptance of hospice by patients with terminal cancer. The three categories were 'Hope for a comfortable death', 'Overcoming barrier of prejudice about hospice', 'Incessant craving for life', 'The last consideration for self and family' Conclusion: While accepting the hospice care, participants experienced inner conflict between giving up medical treatments that prolong life and choosing a comfortable death, and also experienced an incessant craving for life. By accepting hospice care, they showed a human dignity that entails careful concerns for both self and family members.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to understand the reported experiences of sexuality among Korean women who are breast cancer survivors. Methods: Participants of this study were 12 women who had breast cancer surgery. Data were collected October, 2010 to January, 2011 through in-depth interviews by using tape-recordings. Data were analyzed with Colaizzi's (1978) phenomenological methodology. Results: From significant statements, four categories, ten theme clusters and 32 themes were extracted from the essential meaning of the sexuality experience as reported by the women participants. Within the four categories were 'Negatively changed in sexuality', 'Feeling of great loss as a woman', 'Changed martial relations with husband', and 'Turning to the happy life'. 'Overcoming sexuality caused by distress and feeling of loss' was united from four categories.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the illness experience of patients with pressure ulcer. Methods: A phenomenological methodology was used for the study. The data were collected by individual in-depth interview with seven participants with pressure ulcer during 2013~2014. All interviews were audio-taped and verbatim transcripts were made for the analysis. The data were analyzed using Colaizzi's phenomenological method. Results: All participants had underlying disease, such as spinal paralysis and diabetes. Average period of having pressure ulcer was 18 months, ranged from 3 to 36 months. A total of seven theme clusters were derived from the analysis; unexpected wound, inherent vulnerability to infection, reversal of the treatment policy, unpleasant and strange feeling of wound, sweeping fear and helplessness, socioeconomic burden, and healing through specific actions and reflection. The participants faced various contradictory and paradoxical situations in managing their pressure ulcers as well as underlying diseases in their everyday life. However, they slowly overcome these situations by strictly practicing concrete action-oriented strategies that they have learned through suffering and appreciating miraculous wound healing. Conclusion: The results of this study can help developing a patient-specific intervention program with sufficient emotional support by providing insights of the paradoxical illness experience of patients with pressure ulcer.

Objectives : The elderly in South Korea are the poorest among OECD countries in 2015. The aim of this study was to explore the health and life of the low-income elderly living in vulnerable areas in a metropolitan city. Methods : Data were collected through in-depth individual interviews with 7 participants from October to November 2015 and analyzed through Colaizzi's phenomenological methodology. The participants were interviewed for over 60 minutes in each person. Results : 7 categories were identified from 17 subcategories: "My life history: sick body," "Living with a sick body," "My poor but precious life," "A sense of distance from the hospital," "Narrowed area of my life," "Thankful for help," and "The village where I have lived my destiny." There is a lack of medical accessibility, mobility, and economic independence for low-income seniors. In addition, full-fledged redevelopment comes to them as violence. Conclusions : The health and life of the low-income elderly in vulnerable areas are products of many social factors, reaffirming the importance of social health.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore nurses' experience of the role adaptation process and barriers in long-term care (LTC) facilities including nursing homes, daycare centers, and home visit nursing centers. Methods: After in-depth interviews with 13 nurses who were working at the LTC facilities in G province, the data were analyzed using Colaizzi's phenomenological methodology. Results: 17 themes with 6 theme clusters, and 2 categories emerged: nursing role adaptation process in the LTC (role expectation and readiness, role perception and performance, limits of role performance), and barriers to nursing role adaptation in the LTC facility (organizational, situational, and institutional-environmental barriers). Conclusion: The results showed that it is critical to establish the nurses' role in caring for the health of the elderly and maintaining the quality of care in the LTC facilities. In response to the growing demand for quality care in the LTC facilities, more institutional and environmental changes are needed to address the current barriers that prevent nurses from performing their appropriate roles.

본 연구는 간호대학생의 임상입문실습 경험의 의미와 본질적 구조를 밝히기 위해 진행된 현상학적 연구이다. 자료수집은 2019년 7월 15일부터 31일까지 진행되었으며, U광역시에 소재한 일개 대학교의 간호학과 학생 중 임상입문실습을 마친 8명을 대상으로 하여 포커스 그룹 토론과 심층면담을 통해 이루어졌다. 참여자들은 비구조화된 질문을 통해 실습의 전반적인 과정 중에 겪은 상황과 환경, 감정 등을 구체적으로 진술하였다. Colaizzi의 현상학적 방법을 이용하여 분석한 간호대학생의 임상입문실습 경험은 의미 있는 진술로부터 41개의 주제와 17개의 주제모음, 5개의 범주인' 걱정과 기대가 함께 함', '병원이 현실로 다가옴', '감정의 혼재 끝에 적응함', '되어감의 첫 단계', '미래를 준비함'으로 구성되었고, 도출된 범주는 실습 중 시간의 흐름에 따라 하나의 맥락 속에서 전개되었다. 연구결과 밝혀진 간호대학생의 임상입문실습 경험은 기대와 걱정되는 상태에서 실습을 시작하여 다양한 상황과 감정을 경험하면서 적응하고 미래를 준비하게 되는 본질적 구조로 이루어졌다. 연구는 1,000시간 이상 시행되어야 하는 임상실습의 시작 시점에서 시행되었으므로 그 결과는 앞으로 이루어질 간호대학생의 임상실습 적응을 위한 유용한 정보를 제공할 것으로 판단되며, 이를 기반으로 간호대학생의 실습을 위한 교육 프로그램 개발 및 적용이 이루어져야 할 것이다.

목적: 본 연구는 우리나라 사람들이 인지하고 있는 존엄한 죽음의 의미를 참여자의 관점에서 있는 그대로 탐구하여 확인하고 기술함으로써 그 구조와 본질을 규명하기 위한 것이다. 방법: 현상학적 분석방법을 적용한 질적 연구로 본 연구의 참여자들은 연령대와 성별을 고려한 일반인으로 총 13명이었다. 자료수집은 참여자와 개별적 심층면담을 통해 이루어졌으며, 자료분석은 Colaizzi(1978)의 현상학적 분석방법을 이용하였다. 결과: 우리나라 사람들이 인지하는 존엄한 죽음은 4개의 범주와 9개의 주제모음 및 18개의 주제로 구조화할 수 있었다. 4개의 범주는 '편안한 죽음', '보기 좋은 죽음', '해결하고 죽는 죽음', '남긴 죽음'이었고, 9개의 주제모음은 '고통 없는 죽음', '자연에 순응하는 죽음', '흉하지 않은 죽음', '좋은 회상을 남기는 죽음', '원하는 방식으로 죽는 죽음', '주변을 정리한 죽음', '응어리를 풀고 가는 죽음', '잘 살고 죽는 죽음', '인정받는 죽음'이었다. 결론: 우리나라 사람들이 의미하는 존엄한 죽음은 고통 없이 편안하게 죽으면서 다른 사람에게 피해를 주지 않고 남아 있는 삶 동안 모든 일을 해결하고 가족을 포함한 다른 사람과의 관계 속에서 좋은 이미지로 남아야 하는 것으로 나타나 우리나라 사람들의 존엄한 죽음을 위하여 임종을 앞둔 대상자의 호스피스 간호에 적용할 수 있을 것이다.

Objectives : This study was to identify the stop-out experiences of Korean Medicine Students(K.M.S.). The stop-out is defined as a withdrawal temporarily from enrollment at a university. Methods : Data was collected through in-depth individual interviews from 2013 to 2016 and analyzed with Colaizzi's phenomenological methodology. The participants were interviewed once or twice, for 30minutes to 50minutes per interview. Results : Ten theme-clusters were identified from 21 themes. These theme-clusters were divided to 4 divisions as when they made the decision for the stop-out, during their stop-out period, when they went back to school and the meaning of their stop-out. 'A difficult situation to continue the study', 'Uncertainty about their decision and anxiety of the future' are 2 theme-clusters for when they made the decision for the stop-out, 'Conflict and anxiety', 'Novel and free time', 'Improving family relationship and finding new relationship' are 3 theme-clusters for during their stop-out period, 'Anxiety for the returning to school', 'New relationship and sense of relief' are 2 theme-clusters for when they went back to school, and 'Making a present for me', 'An opportunity for the emotional growth', 'Recovery of learning will' are 3 theme-clusters for the meaning of their stop-out that they gave to it. Conclusions : The stop - out of K.M.S. began at the hope that they want to take the lead for their lives. And they would find themselves more mature after the experience of their stop-out. This result could be a basic reference for the counselling of the faculty working with K.M.S.
