Description
The purpose of this study was to clarify the characteristics of benefit-finding, which is defined as identification of benefits or positive changes from illness experience, and the factors which related to the formation of benefit-finding. Subjects were seven persons with collagen disease receiving outpatient services, and semi-structured interviews were conducted. Six categories were emerged as the characteristics of benefit-finding; "coping difficulties in life", "having consideration for oneself", "having deeper appreciation", "feeling sympathy for pain of others", "meeting new friends" and "wish to make a contribution to others". Four categories were found as factors related to the formation of benefit-finding; "difficulty expenences", "support for life with illness", "the word from significant persons" and "existence one can believe". The results of this study suggest the importance of deeper understanding of the illness experience, not only the negative aspects but also positive aspects, and provision of support which assist patients in managing difficulties resulting living with illness.
