사람이 죽는 방법이 몇 가지나 될까? 각종 질병사, 사고사, 자살…등등 일일이 열거하기 어려울 것이다. 그중에서도, 한국 사람을 많이 죽이는 나쁜 병 상위 4가지는 암/ 중풍/ 심장병/ 당뇨이다. 이 4가지 병으로 사망하는 사람이 전체 사망자의 50%를 넘는다. 그런데 이러한 흔한 사망원인들을 일으키는 위험요소 중 최고로 해로운 놈이 바로 담배다. 금연을 권하면, 담배피고도 오래 사는 옆집 할아버지를 들먹거리는 사람들이 꼭 있다. 물론 담배를 많이 피워도 폐암에 잘 안 걸 리는 사람도 있다. 이런 분들은 유전적으로 폐암에 대한 면역력이 강한 분들이다. 하지만, 당신도 그럴까? 개개인의 면역력에 따라서 흡연의 해독은 더 크게도 좀 약하게도 나타날 수 있다. 안그래도 면역력이 약한 HIV 환우들에게 흡연은 반드시 물리쳐야 하는 적중의 적인 것이다.

Purpose: The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore how adolescent survivors of childhood cancer grieve the death of cancer peers. Methods: Data were obtained from Korean adolescents with cancer between the ages of 13 and 18 (N=12) through semi-structured interviews (face-to-face, telephone, and Internet chatting), observations of the social dynamics of participants in self-help groups, and retrieval of personal Web journals. Based on the grounded theory methodology, data collection and analysis were conducted simultaneously, and constant comparative methods were used. Clarke's situational analysis was adopted, and this paper focused on presenting "how to" and "what we can learn" from this analytic strategy. Results: Mapping examples were visualized using of three modes of maps. Adolescent cancer survivors coped with reminders of the "darkness" that ultimately featured their overall grief. Additionally, adolescents' encounters and avoidance of grief were triggered by introspection and interactions with family and friends. Conclusion: Situational analysis provided an efficient way to analyze the experiences of adolescent survivors of childhood cancer by systematizing possible information within the relational social contexts of the research phenomenon.
