초록

목적: 본 연구의 목적은 기독교인과 불교인 말기암환자의 기도경험의 의미를 탐색하고 분석하여, 영적간호 중재 방안으로 기도의 활용가능성을 파악하는데 있다. 방법: Y 대학병원에 입원한13명의 말기암환자가 연구에 참여하였고(기독교 7명, 불교 6명), 심층면담을 통해 자료를 수집하였고, Colaizzzi(1978)가 제시한 현상학적 방법을 사용하여 자료를 분석하였다. 결과: 참여자의 기도경험의 의미는 6개의 범주로 도출되었다: 하나님과의 의사소통, 마음 다스리기, 영적성장, 죽음과 사후세계에 대한 인식, 신비한 체험, 다양한 기도 형태. 결론: 참여자들의 기도경험은 자신들이 믿는 종교의 틀 안에서 서술되었다. 기독교인들에게 기도는 하나님과의 의사소통이었고, 불교인들에게는 스스로의 마음을 다스리는 것이었다. 그들이 믿고 있는 종교에 따라 약간의 차이점은 있었지만 기도경험의 의미는 자신들이 해결할 수 없는 절박한 건강문제를 자신이 믿고 있는 하나님 혹은 자신보다 능력이 있는 신을 의지하여 해결하려 하는 절실한 간구였고, 기도를 통해 자신들을 돌아보게 되면서 다른 사람들을 생각하고 기도하는 영적성장을 경험하고 있었다. 연구결과는 말기암환자들의 기도 경험의 현상에 대한 설명과 함께 기도경험에 대해 보다 폭넓은 지식을 제공하고, 기도가 중요한 대처 방법이었음을 보여주고 있다.

Purpose: To explore the meaning of prayer in Korean patients with end-stage cancer who profess Christianity or Buddhism, given the significant differences between these religions. Methods: The Colaizzi (1978) analysis method was employed. In-depth interview were performed with 13 participants (seven Christians and six Buddhists) who were admitted to a University-affiliated hospital in Korea. Results: The six categories emerged: 1) communication with God, 2) mind discipline, 3) spiritual growth, 4) mysterious experiences, 5) perception of death and after-life, and 6) various forms of prayers. Conclusion: The participants' prayer experiences were described in a religious context. Christians believed that prayer is communication with God while Buddhists regarded it as disciplining of minds. Despite some differences between the religious groups, a general meaning of prayer was a desperate desire to solve their health issues by relying on God or someone who is more powerful than themselves. They also experienced personal and spiritual growth through prayer. This study explains the phenomenon of prayer experiences and shows that prayer is an important coping mechanism.
