The Purpose of the study was to understand the experience of chronic renal failure 
patients for the qualified individual care for them. The purpose of this study was to 
explore the experience of patients living with chronic renal failure and to identify the 
meaning and structure of their experience.
 The subjects were four patients, two females and two males. The age range was from 
21 to 54. Data was collected with a few in-depth interviews by the authors until the 
data was fully saturated. The framework and methodology of this study was based on 
Parse's "Human Becoming methodology," an existential phenomenological research 
methodology. 
The findings of this study were as follows. Three experience structures of chronic renal 
failure patients were :
 1. Sufferings and conflicts originated in the frustration caused by uncurable disease.
 2. Dependence upon God and significant others with complex emotions.
 3. Acceptance of sufferings, emerging hope for serving people, and gratitude for living.
 In conclusion the experience of chronic renal failure patients could be described from the 
findings (three structures) as "Experiencing the sufferings, conflicts originated in the 
frustration caused by uncurable disease, dependence upon God and significant others 
with complex emotion, acceptance of the suffering and hope for serving people, and 
gratitude for living." The three structures of the lived experience of patients with 
chronic renal failure, the findings of this study, could be explained by the three concepts 
of "Theory of Human Becoming," the first structure could be explained with values, the 
second with revealing-concealing, and the third with transforming.
