Abstract

|
The purpose of this study is to construct an actual theory of traumatic experience of burned patients by comprehensive exploration of overcoming factors and results in trauma experience and trauma coping process of burn patients. To this end, we conducted in-depth interviews of nine subjects who had more than 3 degrees of burns, 20% or more arrest area, and 2 or more years of trauma after burn. We, then, analyzed the interview using the theory suggested by Strauss and Corbin (2001). The analysis produced 126 concepts from open-coding, 53 sub-categories from abstracting the concept, and finally 19 categories were derived. The main findings of the study suggest that the process of overcoming traumas is divided into six phases over time: confrontation of the limit situation, self-alienation, manifestation of the will of life, acceptance of the limit situation, aggressive challenge with an active response, and self-expansion for the subjective life. The central phenomenon was the expression of the will of life in disintegrated self-awareness. And factors of overcoming trauma were the ‘self-resilience of internal resources’, ‘family that supports life’, ‘social support experience’ and ‘power of actual economic resources’. Finally, a key category that can collectively describe the experience of overcoming trauma of burn patients was created as ‘moving into the world for subjective life while embracing limitations’. Based on this result of this study, we discussed the trauma experience, trauma coping factors, and trauma coping results of burn patients, and suggested limitations and future research.
