要 旨
本研究の目的は,再発・転移を経験したがんサバイバーがストレングスを発揮して生きるプロセスを明らかにすることである.再発や転移を告げられ,治療を受けているがんサバイバー14名を対象に,半構成的面接を実施し修正版グラウンデッド・セオリー・アプローチを用いて分析した.
再発・転移を経験したがんサバイバーがストレングスを発揮して生きるプロセスは,『不確かさに伴う苦悩を断ち切る』とともに『限りある自分の人生を大切に生きる』プロセスであった.
【がんに伴う苦悩】のなか,がんサバイバーは【生を信じる気持ち】を拠り所に,【生き抜くための努力】をすることによって,〈ベストを尽くしているという自負〉を抱いていた.この自負と【がん脅威に対する抵抗力】【前に向かう強み】を発揮することにより,意識的に〈がんにとらわれない心がけ〉をし,『不確かさに伴う苦悩を断ち切る』ように努めていた.さらに,【がんに伴う苦悩】のなかでも,がんサバイバーは〈残された人生の推測〉により,今を大切に生きる〈後悔のない生き方志向〉になっていた.〈後悔のない生き方志向〉と【自分の生活を守る力】を発揮することで〈現在できることの見定め〉をし,〈叶えられる望みの創出〉により【再認識した自分らしさ】を感じていた.この自分らしさに支えられ,〈これでよいと思える生活〉を送るようになり,『限りある自分の人生を大切に生きる』ことに至っていた.
To clarify cancer survivors' process of playing to their strengths to fulfill their lives after experiencing recurrence/metastasis, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 14 cancer survivors who had been told that the disease recurred/metastasized and were receiving treatment at the time of the study. The obtained data were analyzed using the modified grounded theory approach.
Such a process in these cancer survivors was summarized into “overcoming distress due to uncertainty” and “living a limited life with mindfulness”.
While facing “distress due to cancer”, the cancer survivors relied on “their belief in life”, and made “effort to survive”, which provided them with a basis for maintaining self-confidencein doing their best. Maintaining such self-confidence and using their “resistance to deal with the menace of cancer” and “strength to step forward” were their measures for“ taking their mind off cancer” and “overcoming distress due to uncertainty”.
Even in the midst of “distress due to cancer”, the cancer survivors used mindfulness to develop by “estimating their remaining lives”. Using their “ability to protect their daily lives”, in addition to “thoughts to live a life without regrets”, they developed “insight into feasible activities”, which led to “self-recognition”. Supported by such recognition, they established, consequently “living a limited life with mindfulness”.
