“…In the middle of the 1970s, Martinsen began examining and unfolding how phenomenology could help to improve nursing practice. First, in her Master's thesis (Martinsen, 1975) and later in her dissertation in philosophy (Martinsen, 1984), Martinsen argued against nursing as a merely technical or instrumental practice, thereby questioning the dominance of positivism in the healthcare system. Martinsen argued against what she considered a lack of caring in healthcare.…”

Phenomenology was introduced to the field of nursing in late ‘70s in the US and Scandinavia. Since then, phenomenology has developed as a commonly used approach within nursing research. However, during the past two to three decades, phenomenological nursing research has come under attack from scholars outside the field of nursing who question the credibility and usefulness of phenomenological nursing research. The aim of this discussion paper is twofold: 1) to illuminate why phenomenology was introduced by nurse scholars to develop theory and as a framework for empirical research in the US and Scandinavia; and 2) to discuss the legitimacy of applying a phenomenological approach in nursing research and practice today. The rationale behind advocating the integration of a phenomenological approach into nursing practice was to defend, apprehend and articulate the essence of caregiving in theory building within nursing. We claim these arguments are maybe even more important today. Using three examples of empirical phenomenological studies, we illustrate how these studies provide theoretically informed insights into existential aspects of care that guide caring practice and accordingly humanise practice. We argue that phenomenology provides the nursing profession with a humanly sensitive approach that challenges the current tendency within healthcare to emphasise an evidence-based, standardised approach to patient care that inclines to neglect each patient’s uniqueness. Nursing profession may lose its very raison d'être, i.e. to deliver humanly sensitive care, if nursing research ceases to address existential aspects of being a human. Thus, it is evident that phenomenological nursing studies have legitimacy and are important for developing theoretically informed insights that promote the discipline of nursing. Consequently, the value of phenomenological nursing research should be assessed based on the findings it provides that promote such knowledge. Hence, credibility and usefulness of phenomenological nursing research must be determined by the discipline itself.

PurposeThis paper contains a theoretically inspired discussion of recent Norwegian controversies related to the management of public library space as a civil public sphere.Design/methodology/approachThis study engages with theories of civil public spheres and their application within a Nordic context. The theories are applied in discussions of recent controversies related to the management of Norwegian public libraries as civil public spheres, as represented in professional journals and press articles.FindingsThrough the discussion, it becomes apparent that the value of neutrality and librarians' inclusive practices on the part of societal minorities might be conflicting when managing public libraries as civil public spheres.Originality/valueThis paper engages with recent library controversies in Norway and discusses them in light of recent scholarly work on library activism in a Nordic context, as well as recent theorizations of civil public spheres in the Nordic countries. It thus connects ongoing discussions among Norwegian librarians with recent library research and ongoing theorization of civil public spheres within the Nordic model.

“…All human beings can be considered vulnerable (Martinsen, 2012), and severely ill patients, who need care and strength to cope with everyday life, can be considered especially vulnerable. Healthcare professionals should be cognizant of the fact that patients' vulnerability can be either met or violated in care (Martinsen, 2012). More people in Norway today still die in hospital or nursing home settings than in their own homes (Bruvik et al, 2017), yet since the Coordination Reform the number of older people who have died after being discharged from a hospital setting has increased (Gautun & Syse, 2017).…”

By 2050, the world's population of people aged 60 years and older will double (2.1 billion), and older people often have multimorbidity and complex healthcare needs (World Health Organisation, 2022). In many countries, healthcare service delivery models have shifted toward minimally institutional or non-institution-based care services (Ashley et al., 2017).Institution-based care has been reduced (Mota-Romero, Tallón-Martín, et al., 2021) in favour of, for example, home-based care
