This phenomenological analysis was conducted to explore the experiences of college student volunteers in the field of pediatric palliative care.
In-depth interviews were conducted with nine study participants who had experience volunteering with children receiving pediatric palliative care. The study analysis was conducted using the Colaizzi method, a rigorous qualitative research method, to develop "intra-group" comparisons among the study participants.
Through an analysis of the data, 51 themes, 18 theme clusters, and five main categories were derived. The results confirmed that the experience of university student volunteers in pediatric palliative care can be summarized as "awareness of the role of a volunteer," "difficulties encountered while volunteering," "efforts to overcome the difficulties of volunteer work," "personal reflection," and "awareness of life and death."
The results of this study can be used as a practical guide for the effective management of volunteers in the pediatric palliative care setting.
进行这项现象学分析，以探索大学生志愿者在儿科姑息治疗领域的经历。
对九名有照顾接受儿科姑息治疗儿童志愿者经历的研究参与者进行了深入访谈。研究分析采用了科莱齐方法，这是一种严谨的定性研究方法，用于在研究参与者之间进行“组内”比较。
通过对数据的分析，得出了51个主题、18个主题簇和五个主要类别。结果证实，大学生志愿者在儿科姑息治疗中的经历可概括为“对志愿者角色的认识”、“志愿服务中遇到的困难”、“克服志愿工作困难的努力”、“个人反思”以及“生死意识”。
本研究结果可作为在儿科姑息治疗环境中有效管理志愿者的实用指南。
