本研究以「了解鄰近殯儀館成年住民死亡態度之建構」為主題，旬旨在探討：一、了解他們如何詮釋所處之情境。二、面對此一特殊生活經驗，對其死亡態度之影響。三、了解他們面對死亡的態度是如何形塑而成。 論文採用質性研究法之深度訪談，先以立意取樣方式選取四位年齡介於三十歲至五十五歲的成年住民接受訪談蒐集資料。再以敘說分析方法中「整體－內容」，呈現受訪住民豐富的生命故事；「整體－形式」，劃出生命故事的軸線圖，並進行綜合分析，藉以找出「鄰近殯儀館住民死亡態度建構」的歷程與影響因子。 根據研究發現：一、受訪者與殯儀館「似近實遠，似遠實近」的關係與其死亡態度有關。二、死亡態度以來自長輩及大眾媒體影響居多。三、在死亡符號刺激下，影響較多的是對自己及家人未來喪葬儀式的安排與及時行孝的重要性。四、成年住民的死亡恐懼以「害怕自己的死亡會造成親人的悲傷」與「不能再照顧被自己扶養的人」為多。五、影響死亡態度建構的關鍵因子則是「接觸親人死亡經驗」、「生活現實考量」以及自身有過的「邊界處境」較明顯。 The study mainly discusses ”The Construction of The Attitude Towards Death of the Adult Residents Living Near The Funeral Home”, it explores : (1) How they interpret their own circumstance, (2) How this special living experience affects their attitudes towards death, and (3) How this experience forms their attitudes to facedeath.
