Abstract:
The authors of this article present the findings of a study about the experience of suffering for 2 families from South Korea with relatives living with chronic mental illness, using the humanbecoming nursing perspective. The central findings of this qualitative descriptive-exploratory study showed that suffering in families with relatives living with mental chronic illness is agonizing trepidation amid calm invigoration, as confident relinquishing of the expected arises with liberating diverse affiliations. The findings are discussed in relation to the themes of the humanbecoming school of thought and related literature. Phenomena of study for further research are suggested.
