Keywords:
Resilience; Person with disability; DismembermentAbstract
The purpose of this research was to study the rehabilitation process of people who had suffered from a fatal accident, lost their organs, and became disabled by utilizing a qualitative case study research methodology. The main informant groups consisted of four people who had suffered from a fatal accident, lost their organs, became type 3 disabled (a mobility impairment), and had been injured for at least one year and five months. The data were collected by using in-depth interviews. The content was analyzed by applying the case study research method along with the theory of rehabilitation. Collected data were verified by utilizing a triangular data validation method.
The results indicated that the four informants revealed the qualitative data regarding the process of recovery after encountering a fatal accident, dismemberment, and becamepersons with disabilities. The data were divided into three main issues: The first issue was the suffering after facing the crisis state, which was the background story of the crisis incident of the key informants. The second issue was the acceptance, which was the way an individual had an insight towards the crisis and accepted it. There were two secondary points regarding the acceptance: 1) The rehabilitation based on the causal factor 2) A protective factor and the differences between the person and the surroundings. The third issue was the new perspective and the positive growth after becoming disabled, which was the change of perspective and some characteristics of the person, which consisted of one secondary point: 1) The rehabilitation and the adaptation after becoming disabled.
