본 연구는 간질장애인의 삶의 질에 대한 본질적인 의미를 심층적으로 파악하기 위한 목적으로 실시되었다. 6명의 연구 참여자에게 반구조화된 질문을 통한 심층면접 후 지오르기 분석방법을 이용하여 19개의 의미있는 진술과 8개의 중심의미를 추출하였다. 그 중심의미는 “내 삶에서 생각지도 못한 장애임”, “모든 삶에서 나를 나락으로 끌어내림”, “몸이 찢겨지고 고통스러움”, “발작후의 혼란스러움”, “발작에 대한 불안함으로 항상 편치않음”, “삶의질을 생각할 수 없음”, “가족의 날개그늘아래 있음”, “보다 나은 삶의질을 위해 노력해봄”이었다. 본 연구는 간질장애인의 관점에서 삶의 질에 대한 의미를 탐색하고 사회복지적 개입방향을 논의한 연구로써 그 의의를 가진다.
