Abstract

慢性病者にとって、病気がいかなる意味をもつか、という問題について「病気像」と「人生の意味」という2つの観点から調査を行なった。その結果、病気像は二重構造をなし、大枠として、どの年齢群でも、病気体験により、敵対と受容というambivalentな病気像をもつ一方で、細部では、各群の発達課題に即応すると思われるイメージの差異を見出した。しかし、こうした病気とのかかわり方も、「人生の意味」体験には直接関係していなかった。これらの事から、病気は、「生」の更に根源的な問いへと通じ、V. Frank1のいう態度的価値実現にかかわるような病者の主体的存在様式が問われる事象であることが考察された。 The meaning of the sickness for the patients with chronic sickness were investigated by "Sickness Image Inventory" and "Purpose In Life Test". The result indicated that if a person got chronic sickness, he would have the ambivalent emotion for his sickness which contains alien emotion and acceptive emotion. But also there are delicate differencies in the patient's sickness images according to their developmental stages. On the other hand, their sickness images does not change their "Meaning of Life" measured by PIL. The experient of chronic sickness relates to the fundamental level of "Life" which belongs to different frame of "Meaning of Life" from that measured by PIL, and concerns realizing the attitudial values stated by V. Frankl. The meaning of the sickness inquire the patient if he can keep his subjective and fundamental attitude for his life under any suffering situation.
