Purpose: This study examined: 1) what it meant for patients to have multimorbidity 2) how they manage their illness usinghealth care facilities, and 3) what contextual backgrounds exist regarding the health care system.
Methods: Thisqualitative research obtained individual in-depth interviews from 22 patients. Participants were selected by purposivesampling among those who saw physicians more often than the national average from the 2013 medical-claim data. Thetranscribed data were analyzed using Ground theory.
Results: Multimorbidity patients suffered from "chain-like serialsymptoms" and "pain without a breakthrough". They expressed themselves as "indeed patients among patients", "mybody is a general hospital", and "an incompletely normal person". There was a demand to resolve the anxiety arising fromthe situation in which the body keeps getting sicker without showing any signs of recovery. In a state of reduced socialsupport and a lack of trust in the doctor, their desire to be healed led them to receive a temporary relief through dependenceon medical institutions.
Conclusion: This research recognized the desire of multimorbidity patients to seek temporary reliefthrough dependence on medical institutions. A more patient-centered directed care plan, specific to the needs of thepatients with multimorbidity is required
