“…As an exploratory study, this research draws from an interpretive phenomenological approach (de Chesnay, ) to capture reflexive explanations of the lived experience of a sample of IQNs in a cultural and workplace environment that was unfamiliar. With an interpretive phenomenological approach, the researchers endeavour to interpret participants' sensemaking, while ensuring their interpretations are grounded in participants’ accounts (Pringle, Drummond, McLafferty, & Hendry, ).…”

Power distance and migrant nurses: The liminality of acculturation

2019

A dearth of literature focuses on the relationship between acculturation, power distance and liminality for migrant nurses entering foreign workplaces. Expectations are for migrant nurses to be practice‐ready swiftly. However, this aspiration is naïve given the complex shifts that occur in deeply held cultural beliefs and practices and is dependent on an organisational climate of reciprocal willingness to adapt and learn. This exploratory study identified that although a plethora of literature addresses challenges migrant nurses face, there are limited data that link these transitional processes to concepts that might usefully guide transitions. This study draws from the overarching concept of acculturation, together with Hofstede's (2011) notion of power distance and the theory of liminality to explore the experiences of eight migrant nurses. Data highlighted that adjusting to altered hierarchical relationships took many months because negotiating power distance challenged deeply held beliefs and assumptions about professional and organisational hierarchies. Migrant nurses’ accounts indicated a paucity of organisational processes to address these difficulties; therefore, they navigated this liminal space of adjustment to power distance differences in an ad hoc manner. Their acculturation experiences, arguably unnecessarily prolonged, indicate the value in workplace commitment to exploring a collaborative, critically reflective approach to optimise transitions.

“…Compared with Western countries, the experience of adolescents with cancer are rarely investigated in Asia, and meta-analysis of the disease experience of cancer patients aged 10 to 40 years shows only one qualitative result from Asia (Kim et al, 2016;Taylor et al, 2013). Husserl's descriptive phenomenological study focuses on the natural phenomenon without increasing, decreasing, modifying, or analyzing the individual life experience and the essence of this specific phenomenon (Chesnay, 2015). However, limited phenomenological studies were conducted to understand the life experience of adolescents with cancer in Taiwan (Chen et al, 2015;Yeh, 2002).…”

The Lived Experiences of Adolescents With Cancer: A Phenomenological Study

2018

This descriptive phenomenological study was conducted to explore the lived experiences of adolescents with cancer. Purposive sampling was used to recruit participants. In-depth, nonstructured interviews were conducted to collect data, and narratives were analyzed using Colaizzi's seven-step method. Data saturation was achieved after interviewing 16 participants. The study was divided into three main themes and 16 subthemes: suffering (caused by symptoms, therapy, cancer recurrence, the feeling of being trapped in hospital, the burden of food therapy, delayed education, the absence of peer relationships, and limited activities), emotional reactions (fear, worry, sadness, anger, and loneliness), and rebalancing (strong family relationships, optimistic thinking, and healthy lifestyles). While adolescents with cancer experience changes in lifestyle, and physical, psychological, and social burden, they also have positive life experiences. Building appropriate learning systems, improving communication skill, and providing appropriate food therapy may alleviate the psychological burden experienced by young patients.

“…De acordo com os objetivos e para responder à questão de investigação (Como vivenciam os casais a transição da conjugalidade para a parentalidade com o nascimento do primeiro filho? ), foi realizado um estudo descritivo de orientação fenomenológica, a partir do qual foi possível conhecer a experiência humana, pelos significados das pessoas que vivenciaram o fenómeno (Chesnay, 2015). Neste sentido, a seleção dos participantes foi intencional, com efeito bola de neve.…”

A conjugalidade torna-se um desafio na transição para a parentalidade, principalmente quando se trata do nascimento do primeiro filho, sendo de grande importância para a saúde conhecer a vivência conjugal e os fatores envolvidos, para facilitar esta transição. O enfermeiro de família pode ser esse facilitador, pelo papel privilegiado de proximidade. Porém, a escassez de estudos em enfermagem de família, não permite sustentar as intervenções na evidência. Pretende-se analisar a vivência conjugal durante a transição para a parentalidade no que se refere aos fatores facilitadores e dificultadores. Realizou-se um estudo exploratório e descritivo com orientação fenomenológica, de forma a extrair a vivência dos casais. A amostra foi intencional, em bola de neve, constituída por 6 casais heterossexuais, 6 a 12 meses após o nascimento do primeiro filho. Foram realizadas 12 entrevistas semi-estruturadas aos cônjuges. Análise realizada pelo método fenomenológico de Giorgi. Encontraram-se fatores protetores e dificultadores da conjugalidade na transição para a parentalidade. São protetores da conjugalidade: planeamento da gravidez; compreensão e entreajuda no casal; comunicação conjugal; apoio da família alargada. Constituíram fatores dificultadores: gestão dos momentos a sós; reinício e manutenção da sexualidade; desempenho do papel parental; intromissão da família alargada (por ausência de limites ou por relacionamento destruturado com a família de origem) e falta de apoio dos profissionais de saúde. Os casais necessitam de apoio pessoal e profissional nesta fase de transição. O enfermeiro de família pode desempenhar um papel privilegiado de proximidade, facilitando este processo de transição por meio de cuidados antecipatórios ao casal e família, nesta fase do ciclo vital.
