정신분열병환자의 희망 개념 분석

Abstract

This paper is an analysis to clarify the concept of hope in people with schizophrenia. Method: Literatures about hope and interview data with 47 people with schizophrenia(38 males to 9 females) were analysed using the concept clarification method of Norris. Result: The five categories (hope, the sources of hope, hope- maintanance strategies, inhibitors of hope, the negative outcomes of hopelessness) were emerged from a literature review and interview data. From the five categories, the operational definition of hope, a model of hope, and 23 hypotheses regarding hope in people with schizophrenia were described. Conclusion: This conceptual analysis provides a theoretical ground to understand the meaning of hope in people with schizophrenia for the psychiatric nursing researchers and psychiatric nurses.
