This study explored bereaved parents' responses to their child's death in the 2014 Sewol Ferry sinking incident, focusing on identifying changes in parental self-identity two and five years after their loss. To understand the unique meaning of their loss and its impact on their self-perception, in-depth interviews were conducted with eight mothers and four fathers at two timepoints. Three patterns of parental self-identity: reintegration, disintegration, and coexistence emerged. Patterns emerged in five domains: (a) relational identity, (b) physical identity, (c) financial identity, (d) professional identity and (e) spiritual identity. Each of these domain-associated themes provided insights into the patterns and characteristics of the changes in bereaved parents' self-identity following their loss. Recommendations for future research and potential implications are discussed.
本研究探讨了丧亲父母对其子女在 2014 年世越号沉船事故中死亡的反应，重点是确定其在失去孩子两年和五年后的父母自我认同的变化。为了理解他们失去孩子的独特意义及其对自我认知的影响，在两个时间点对 8 位母亲和 4 位父亲进行了深入访谈。出现了三种父母自我认同模式：重新整合、瓦解和共存。模式出现在五个领域：（a）关系认同，（b）身体认同，（c）经济认同，（d）职业认同和（e）精神认同。每个与这些领域相关的主题都深入了解了丧亲父母在失去孩子后自我认同变化的模式和特征。讨论了对未来研究的建议和潜在影响。
