As part of Pam Brink's nuts and bolts series on research methods for nurses, this volume will provide a much needed introduction to this methodology including discussions on site-access, preparation, proposal-writing, ethical issues, data collections, bias reduction, data analysis, and research publication.

Editorial Reviews

Academic researchers in nursing explain to their colleagues and to graduate students of nursing how to conduct a research program in hermeneutic phenomenology, which they define as the study of how people interpret their lives and make meaning of their experiences. After reviewing the phenomenological tradition and terminology, they discuss proposal writing, choosing a field site, gender and minority inclusion, interviewing, field documents, presenting findings, and other aspects.
