根據統計台灣每年有超過一千名青少年死於意外事故，青少年正值發展期，受到各種發展因素影響，面對同儕突然死亡的反應呈現了多樣性的變化。雖有一些研究探討協助青少年走出死亡陰影，但在大專護理學生面對喪友的哀傷歷程及反應方面，仍十分不足。本研究之目的在探討同儕突然死亡之情況下，護理學生的哀傷反應。研究者以現象學方法剖析某護理學院之五專五年級11位19歲學生，面對同儕意外死亡後哀傷反應。所有訪談內容經錄音後謄寫成文字稿，依據Colaizzi的現象學逐步分析發現有以下四個主題：病態哀傷、無助、擔心被遺忘及思考自己未來。本研究中發現每位同學均有其獨特經驗，但均極少與他人分享自己感覺，因此，建議應對年輕護理學生提供逐步照顧以協助其走出哀傷過程。本研究結果可供發展青少年及護理學生憂傷過程輔導策略之參考。

More than one-thousand adolescents are killed in accidents in Taiwan every year. Developmental factors shape young people's various reactions and responses to the death of their peers. While counseling research has been conducted in a few studies to address this issue of general bereavement, there remains a need for more knowledge on the grieving process and the needs of undergraduate nurse students who experience the loss of a classmate. The purpose of this study was to explore nursing student fears of death and their grief reactions in such a situation. The phenomenological method was used to uncover the meanings of eleven 19-year-old female nursing students' feelings and narratives about their grieving process in relation to the loss of a classmate, who died in a car accident. All interviews were tape recorded and then transcribed. Descriptions were analyzed using Colaizzi's phenomenological methodology (Colaizzi, 1978). The following core themes emerged from the data: morbid anxiety, helplessness after death, fear of disappearance, and thinking of one's own future. The study also found that, while nursing students could cope with their grief, they rarely shared their feeling with others. Young nursing students require careful step-by-step caring to pass successfully through the grieving process. In view of this gap, this study aspires to serve as a useful reference in understanding the sense of loss felt by grieving young people and providing effective and individualized bereavement counseling to nursing students.
