摘要
This qualitative study aimed to uncover the meaning of the trauma experiences and recovery process of North Korean refugees. Ten North Korean refugees were interviewed, and the data gathered was analyzed using Giorgi's descriptive phenomenological method. Results included 2 main categories, 4 subcategories, and 11 meaning units. Core themes were 'trauma experiences during the escape' and 'trauma recovery process.' Sub-themes were 'life-or-death situations,' 'emotional and psychological distress during the escape,' 'enduring pain and progressing toward inner growth,' 'rebuilding a broken life through relational resources and support.' Based on these findings, the implications of North Korean refugees' trauma experience and recovery process are discussed.
