瀕死經驗議題在國外已經受學術界的關注，但國內尚在萌芽階段，研究論文數量不多，有鑑於此，本研究試圖透過瀕死經驗者的主觀感受，反應瀕死經驗者在其經歷瀕死後所表現出的任何改變，包括：生活態度之影響、日常行為之影響、經驗前後生死觀、宗教觀之改變、超感知能力之影響、經驗後調適過程等。 研究採用質性研究方法，並選定六位國內本土個案為研究對象，因瀕死經驗不是單純的生理或心理的現象，而是多重因素的複合現象，故本研究並非採用量化研究法來探討瀕死經驗後續效應相關主題，而是配合深度訪談的質性研究方法，來探討瀕死經驗者其經驗前後之後續效應。 本研究目的有六項分別為探討瀕死經驗對生活態度之影響、對日常行為之影響、對其經驗前後生死觀之改變、對其經驗前後宗教觀之改變、對超感知能力之影響及對其經驗後調適過程。結果發現六位參與者其瀕死經驗後續效應共有十八項屬於正向效應，分別為:(一)普及性價值(二)選替性價值(三)個別性價值(四)個人行動力(五)親子家庭互動(六)社會人際關係(七)死亡態度之前後差異(八)現世對死亡相關議題(九)死亡真相與死亡世界(十)宗教信仰 (十一)宗教熱忱度(十二)宗教認知(十三)第六感能力增強(十四)預知未來的訊息(十五)直覺與超能力(十六)生命教育的投入(十七)求知慾望及讀書會(十八)時間安排及生涯規劃等。 研究分析中也發覺六項負向效應等訊息，證明並非只是正向的結果而已，但正負向效應之間其實是受到許多因素的交互影響，這些微妙的改變是相當值得探討的，也是本研究可以獲得大家重視的精神所在。 The purpose of this qualitative research is to understand after-effect of people who had near-death experiences. They included the effects of the viewpoints of life and daily behaviors, the changes of the concepts of life and death and religion, the influences of the ability of extra-perception and the processes of adaptation after the experiences. Near-death experiences aren't only simple physical or mental phenomenons; they are complex phenomenons of multiple factors. That's the reason why this research isn't a quantitative-research. Instead, the qualitative-research method with depth interviews was used to investigate the relating topics of the ＂After Effect＂ of near- death experiences and six local cases were chosen as research subjects. This research could be divided into six dimensions: the influences of the viewpoint of life after near-death experiences, the effects of daily behaviors after near-death experiences, the changes of the viewpoint of life and death after near-death experiences,the changes of the viewpoint of religion after near-death experiences , the influences of the extra-perception ability after near-death experiences ,the processes of adaptation after near-death experiences. In this research, eighteen positive ＂After Effect＂ were found from six subjects. They are (1) universal values (2) alternative values (3) individual values (4) personal actions (5) parent-children and family interaction (6) social and interpersonal relationships (7) the differences of the viewpoint of death (8) relating issues about death in the present world (9) the truth of death and the world of death (10) religious beliefs (11) religious enthusiasm (12) religious cognition (13) the enhancement of the extrasensory perception (14)prevision of future information (15) instincts and extra-abilities (16) the attendances of life education (17) the desires of knowledge and study group (18) time arrangements and life plans. The research show the results not only postive effects but also negative effects, Some information was also discovered about the negative effects in the analysis, including. These information are pretty worth future investigations and research about the relating issues.
