Abstract

 The purpose of this study was to investigate the meaning of illness for patients with asymptomatic cerebrovascular diseases who underwent preventive surgery. The interview data of 13 patients were analyzed qualitatively. These patients had asymptomatic unruptured intracranial aneurysms but no complications after the operation. The analysis showed that most of the patients felt postoperative relief from their experience of illness because there were no complications. I also found that the patients were able to view their experience positively. These views comprised of "destined trial", "change of view", "opened-self", and "hopes".

 "Destined trial" means that patients expressed their personal growth and recovery of their confidence as a result of overcoming distress. "Change of view" means that they changed their way of living and their evaluation of health in their lived experience. "Opened self" consists of feelings of satisfaction and sense of achievement, a renewed sense of self-value, and gratitude for being alive. "Hope" means that they had expectations for the future by rethinking their future life, maintaining their social role, and sharing their personal experience of illness. These categories are not able to identify the time process, but interrelated among them. And they involve meaning that expands into the future.
