Product Description
Making the ideas of phenomenology accessible to nurses and nursing students, Nursing and the Experience of Illness shows how phenomenological thinking can benefit nursing. Phenomenology has become one of the most frequently used methods in nursing research as qualitative methods grow in popularity. But it is more than a research method; by describing real nursing encounters in accessible and realistic terms, it allows clinical nurses to better understand their own practice. This book discusses the relevance of phenomenology for nursing and presents examples of innovative research based on this approach, drawing on work from around the world. Case study chapters offer models for undertaking phenomenological research and discuss the reasons for choosing the method, ethical concerns, practical difficulties, and outcomes in a variety of contexts. Contributors include the leading Canadian phenomenologist Max van Manen.
