Hermeneutic Phenomenology Inquiry in Nursing
[ send me this paper ]
A 24 page paper discussing the value of the hermeneutic phenomenological method of inquiry in nursing. All researchers need to take great care in designing, conducting and evaluating their investigations, particularly when using the hermeneutic phenomenological method of inquiry. Any research effort undertaken in this method may be suspect in the view of proponents of quantitative methods, but the method allows research into areas not possible to evaluate using quantitative methods. Resulting conclusions from valid, reliable research conducted according to hermeneutic phenomenological inquiry can be of direct benefit to both nurses and patients, and significantly add to increasing the “humanness” of health care.

[ send me this paper ]

Understanding the evolution of a model and how the essential concepts of the model were developed is prerequisite to identifying the inherent differences between models. Ultimately, one chooses a nursing model based upon and compatible with one's own beliefs, values and nursing practice.
