본 연구는 기공 수련을 통한 기흉 치료의 단일사례를 중심으로 연구하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 기 흉에 관한 기공 수련의 효과를 제1자적 관점의 입장에서 밝히는 것이다. 기공 수련은 시간, 횟수, 강 도 등을 연구자의 체력에 맞춰가면서 가능한 한 매일 하였다. 연구자가 기공 수련을 하면서 나타난 몸과 마음의 변화들을 대부분 기록했으며, 그 결과를 수련 전후의 변화와 병원에서 받은 진단에 따라 분석하였다. 연구결과, 수련 전과 후의 변화가 범주화를 통해서 기공 수련이 기흉에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤다고 할 수 있었다. 기공의 삼조를 통해서 기흉의 가슴통증, 호흡곤란, 정서불안에 도움이 될 수 있을 것이라 기대한다. 그리고 몸의 자연치유력을 최대한 깨워서 통합적으로 해결함으로써 이러한 효 과가 나타났다고 생각된다. 부지런한 기공 수련을 통해서 기흉의 정상 판정을 받았고, 체력 회복과 재 발 예방에도 많은 도움이 되었다. 기공 수련의 효과는 몸 · 마음 · 사회 적응력 문제의 통합적 해결로 나타났다. 이러한 전인치유에 기흉 치료도 포함되는 것이다.
