Abstract

 The purpose of this study is to examine the powerlessness (the state in which an individual perceives a lack of personal control over certain events or situations that affects outlook, goals, and lifestyle)of patients with cardiomyopathy. The research was performed in a qualitative and inductive design. Participants in this study were 30patients with cardiomyopathy, 26men and 4 women. The average age was 54.4±2.06(SE). The interview to the participants was semistructured, and the content of the interview was analyzed according to the content analysis advocated by Krippendorff. 5categories,【confusion for uncertainty of one's future】,【consciousness of bearing the cross】,【perception of being hit by troubles】,【hope one's life to a desperate】, and【perception of fading out in life】were extracted from analysis of participants'powerlessness. While participants gradually realize the illness after the diagnosis of cardiomyopathy, they perceive the illness holding the doubt, “Am I really sick?”Then the patients start to recognize affliction of the illness and even feel guilty thinking if the illness might cause negative ramifications to people in the surrounding, and blame themselves. In addition,we found the participants were fully conscious of their frail life while having a hopeless dream of surviving or being saved. These feelings identified their realization off difficulty of control for power and life. The further study need to find the nursing direction for the patients with cardiomyopathy who live feeling powerless by clarifying the aspects of patients'coping with the illness and by examining overall structure of patients'powerlessness and coping.
