가습기 살균제 피해자들의 피해 경험에 대한 현상학적 사례연구

Abstract

This case study examined 10 individuals’ experience of loss and how to overcome the damage caused by humidifier disinfectants. The study is a phenomenological case study about the victims of the humidifier disinfectant scandal. Data analysis showed the following results. At the individual level, the participants reported “the inner world devastation” and “distrust toward the world.” At the family level, they experienced “a sense of distance among family members,” “family-oriented selfishness,” and “family resilience built in hardship. “ At the social level, the victims faced: “broken relationships”; “the nation as an outsider”; “companies reigning over the nation”; and a three-party cartel of “medical workers, businesses, and the government.” At the victim level, they experienced “awakening on recognition of one’s rights,” and “the power of solidarity” Based on the results, the researcher had discussion on the victims’ distrust, right to know, party movements, and empowerment and made specific suggestions in these aspects.
