Abstract

During the near-death experience (NDE), most percipients do express a high level of orderliness; yet at some instances, some percipients show some symptoms of trauma. It is pertinent to notice that a great quantity of academic work has been carried out about the excitements and awesomeness that comes alongside the NDE, but very little has been itemised about the traumatic or the negative aspects of the NDE. The aim of this research is to discuss the seemingly abnormal effects of the NDE that can be connected to the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It is important to note that the life review is one of the major features of the NDE in which a percipient narrates vividly and logically his or her dying experiences that may or may not include a feeling of guilt. A phenomenological method is implored in this research because the researcher uses the life review feature to argue that there is both saneness and some distressing features observed among many NDE percipients. At the end of this study, the researcher argued that the NDE may provide scanty evidence or possibilities for symptoms that pertained to a PTSD that may require a therapeutic and medical attention.Contribution: The researcher challenges the current status quo, which does not provide any guide or therapy for NDE percipients. The researcher therefore instigates the need for the psychiatrists and other caregivers to begin to develop some guide or therapy for NDE percipients especially those who experience a negative NDE.

研究濒死体验的影响对治疗的重要性
在濒死体验(NDE)中,大多数体验者确实表现出高度的有序性;但在某些情况下,一些体验者会表现出一些创伤症状。值得注意的是,学术界已经开展了大量关于濒死体验带来的兴奋和愉悦的工作,但对濒死体验的创伤性或负面影响却鲜有论述。本研究的目的是讨论濒死体验似乎与创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)症状有关的异常影响。值得注意的是,生命回顾是 NDE 的主要特征之一,在这一过程中,亲历者生动、合乎逻辑地叙述自己的临终经历,其中可能包括也可能不包括负罪感。本研究采用了现象学方法,因为研究人员利用生命回顾这一特征来论证,在许多 NDE 体验者身上既观察到了理智,也观察到了一些令人痛苦的特征。在本研究的最后,研究者认为,NDE可能为创伤后应激障碍的症状提供了少量证据或可能性,而创伤后应激障碍可能需要治疗和医学关注:贡献:研究人员对目前的现状提出了质疑,因为目前的现状没有为 NDE 患者提供任何指导或治疗。因此,研究人员建议精神科医生和其他护理人员需要开始为濒死体验者(尤其是经历负面濒死体验者)制定一些指南或疗法。
