摘要：

目的深入了解神经外科ICU患者家属创伤后成长的真实体验。方法采用质性研究中描述性现象学研究法,于2019年4月—8月对12名上海市某三级甲等综合医院神经外科ICU患者家属进行深入访谈,借助Nvivo 11软件管理访谈资料,采用Colaizzi 7步分析法进行归纳分析并提炼主题。结果共提炼出4个主题：人生哲学的改变,包括对生命的欣赏、关注自身健康、确立生活的优先次序、不确定的未来;个人力量增强,包括挖掘优势潜能、责任感增强、自我依靠感增强;与他人关系改善,包括“为己利他”行为、人际交往中获益;有效应对,包括设定希望、向下比较、学会自我调适。结论神经外科ICU患者家属在对抗逆境的过程中能体验到创伤后成长,呈现积极的自我变化现象,临床医护人员应关注患者家属的积极体验,将创伤后成长与临床心理护理整合,促成临床干预向以激发潜能、培养积极力量、促进成长为主题的范式转变。
