Abstract

The purpose of this study was to understand and describe the illness experience of middle-aged women who underwent craniotomy for meningioma. Data were collected through individual in-depth interviews with 7 middle-aged women who underwent craniotomy. Verbatim transcripts were analyzed using Giorgi's phenomenological analysis to uncover the meaning of the illness experience of the participants. As a results, seven themes were identified: serious attack of fear in middle age, strengthening self-confidence in healing, escape from fear of death, care for my own body, two types of conflict for family harmony and disease, nurse as a healing partner, and opening the second life. Based on the results of this study, it will be possible to plan more comprehensive nursing intervention through understanding of participants' experience. Also, the main reason of fear that participants felt was lack of information about craniotomy. Therefore, the development of educational programs to provide information and knowledge about cranial surgery is suggested.

본 연구의 목적은 뇌수막종으로 개두술을 받은 중년여성의 질병체험에 관한 의미와 구조를 파악하고자 함이다. 자료수집을 위해 7명의 개두술을 받은 중년여성을 대상으로 심층면접을 실시하였다. 자료분석을 위해 구두진술문에 대해 참여자의 질병겸험의 숨은 뜻을 분석하기 위해 Giorgi의 기술 현상학적 분석을 사용하였다. 연구 결과 뇌수막종으로 개두술을 받은 중년여성의 체험으로 흔들리는 중년에 엄습한 공포, 치유에 대한 자기 확신 강화, 죽음의 공포로 부터 탈출, 자기 몸에 대한 배려, 가족 화합과 질병 두 개의 무게, 치유의 동반자 간호사, 인생 2막 열기 등으로 나타났다. 이러한 본 연구결과를 토대로 참여자의 경험에 대한 이해를 통해 보다 전인적인 간호 중재를 계획할 수 있을 것이다. 더불어 참여자들이 느끼는 가장 큰 공포의 원인은 개두술에 대한 정보 부족이었다. 따라서 개두술에 대한 정보와 지식 제공을 위한 교육 프로그램의 개발을 제언한다.
