This study aims to elucidate the life and death experiences of patients with terminal cancer. The researchers interviewed 18 terminal cancer patients, for a total 3,118 min. A psychophenomenological approach was used for analysis. Three themes were derived: a new appreciation for the gleam of an ordinary life after experiencing extreme suffering, a desire to at least pass away peacefully when sensing impending death, and a desire to remain useful to loved ones and other suffering patients like them. The novelty of this research derives from its finding that life and death are not in conflict and can lead to hope.
本研究旨在阐明晚期癌症患者的生死体验。研究人员对 18 名晚期癌症患者进行了访谈，总时长为 3118 分钟。采用心理现象学方法进行分析。得出三个主题：在经历极度痛苦后，重新欣赏平凡生活的闪光点；当感知到即将死亡时，至少希望平静地离去；以及希望对所爱之人和其他像他们一样受苦的患者保持有用。本研究的新颖之处在于发现生与死并不矛盾，反而可以带来希望。
