회상의 개념을 선택하여 개념 개발의 일 접근방법을 적용한 연구이다. 개념은 이론적 고찰이나 경험적 관찰의 과정을 거쳐 개발될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 문헌고찰, 경험적 관찰, 문헌고찰과 경험적 관찰의 비교 분석의 세단계로 접근하였다.
첫째, 문헌고찰에서는 개념개발의 필요성과 목적을 확인하고 문헌에 나타난 개념의 저의와 속성, 선행, 결과를 추출하였다. 둘째, 경험적 관찰단계에서는 30명의 양로원 노인을 대상으로 하여 주당 1회씩 5주 동안 개인적 면담을 통해 회상을 하게 하였다. 그다음 면담을 녹음기록한 결과를 토대로 개념을 분석하였다. 셋째, 상기의 두단계에서 각기 내려진 회상의 속성, 선행, 결과, 정의 등을 비교하여 이론과 실제 사이의 불일치점을 파악하여 논의한 다음 개념을 정의하였다.
This study was conducted to develop the concept of reminiscence and to pre-sent an example of the concept development process.
Concept can be developed either by literature review or through experimental observations. Also it can be proceeded by either one of the above method, and then confirmed by the other. For example, hybrid model utilizes literature review first, then put the results of the review to the test in the field work.
Concept clarification by Kramer, on the other hand, draws the concept from the field observations first, then Search the literature to confirm the results extracted from the observations.
The process for this study consisted of three steps ; extensive literature review, repeated indepth interviews of 30 elderly, and comparison and analysis of the results drawn from the previous steps.
Definition of reminiscence thus derived is "thinking and talking to others about the significant past experiences." The operational definition is "talking to others about the significant past experiences with or without emotions, which may arise spontaneously or purposefully."
It is time consuming and requires much efforts to carry out extensive literature re-view, repeated indepth interviews and analysis of those results. Despite this disadvantages it seems essential for the development of concepts, especially when those can be used as nursing interventions. The advantages of this process are to explore not only the definition and characteristics of the concepts but also to identify the various unforeseen outcomes as results of concept application in the clinical field.
