為理解助人工作者罹患癌症的心路歷程,如何詮釋生病經驗對人生所造成的影響和改變,且後續經歷自我療癒及轉化的歷程,進而建構新的生命意義。研究方法:採取質性研究中的敘說研究及深度訪談,進行資料收集,以立意抽樣方式尋找研究參與者,共訪談三位已成年者,目前或曾經從事社會工作相關領域之助人工作,曾罹患癌症,進行訪談時距罹病時間已有五年以上,並且願意回顧生病的歷程,詮釋自我生命經驗者。 本研究參與者包括三位罹癌的助人工作者,分別遭逢卵巢癌復發、甲狀腺癌、大腸癌的侵襲,敘說關於罹患癌症的生命經驗與心路歷程。本研究以助人工作者罹癌的生命經驗為主題,有些主題也可能出現在罹癌的個人生命身上,經歷到當照顧者變成被照顧者、家庭內與家庭外的影響;而與助人工作者罹癌較為相關的主題,專業生命的斷裂與轉化、發揮專業以修補與適應、連結有益復原的支持網絡與資源、扭轉群體的負面觀念,並且在這些過程中,助人工作者個人生命與專業生命之間形成互動的循環圈;結論最後並提出對實務與研究層面之建議。
