예술기반 내러티브 탐구를 통한 제2형 양극성 장애 여성의 삶과 독자와의 만남 = Engaging with readers and the lives of woman with bipolar Ⅱ disorder through Arts-Based Narrative Inquiry

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study, an arts-based narrative inquiry that combines narrative inquiry and arts-based research, aimed to explore the experiences of a woman with bipolar II disorder and the readers who encountered her narrative, and to uncover their meaning. Based on a previous qualitative study conducted a year prior on the lives of research participants with bipolar II disorder, 20 readers of the study, the researcher, and the research participants gathered in June 2025 to discuss and share their experiences through the creation and recitation of poetry. Furthermore, four one-on-one in-depth interviews between the participant and the researcher were conducted from May to July 2025. The research process followed the narrative inquiry methodology proposed by Clandinin and Connelly (2000), resulting in a total of ten stories. The analysis focused on the life experiences of the research participants following the previous research, the experiences of the participants and readers, and the meanings they conveyed. Throughout this process, the participant and readers presented their experiences, and the researcher presented their meanings as poetry. As a result, the meanings derived from the participant’s lives and their encounters with readers were “becoming experts in self-care,” “bridging the gap between you and me,” “weaving fabric with warp and weft,” and “empathy, acceptance, and change.” Based on these findings, the significance and limitations of this study were presented.
