Phenomenological research is increasing in popularity in nursing research for good reason. The qualitative research method allows an in-depth exploration of patient lived experience. This knowledge has the potential to enhance quality of holistic patient care. To undertake this method of inquiry, however, it is imperative that holistic nurse researchers understand the philosophical underpinnings of the method and are familiar with the two major types of phenomenology in order to approach the study in a scholarly manner. The purpose of this article is to explicate the method’s historical roots of phenomenology, its evolution, its two major traditions and their differences, and some of the specialized terminology unique to phenomenology’s jargon so that their studies can contribute to sound nursing science and complete patient care.

ObjectivesThe DACAPO study as a multicentre nationwide observational healthcare research study investigates the influence of quality of care on the quality of life in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. The aim of this study was to investigate the acceptability to the participating research personnels by assessing attitudes, experiences and workload associated with the conduct of the DACAPO study.Design, setting and participantsA prospective anonymous online survey was sent via email account to 169 participants in 65 study centres. The questionnaire included six different domains: (1) training for performing the study; (2) obtaining informed consent; (3) data collection; (4) data entry using the online documentation system; (5) opinion towards the study and (6) personal data. Descriptive data analysis was carried out.ResultsA total of 78 participants took part (46%) in the survey, 75 questionnaires (44%) could be evaluated. 51% were senior medical specialists. 95% considered the time frame of the training as appropriate and the presentation was rated by 93% as good or very good. Time effort for obtaining consent, data collection and entry was considered by 41% as a burden. Support from the coordinating study centre was rated as good or very good by more than 90% of respondents. While the DACAPO study was seen as scientifically relevant by 81%, only 45% considered the study results valuable for improving patient care significantly.ConclusionCollecting feedback on the acceptability of a large multicentre healthcare research study provided important insights. Recruitment and data acquisition was mainly performed by physicians and often regarded as additional time burden in clinical practice. Reducing the amount of data collection and simplifying data entry could facilitate the conduct of healthcare research studies and could improve motivation of researchers in intensive care medicine.Trial registration numberNCT02637011; Pre-results.

Phenomenological Design

Background and PurposeInvestigation of thoughts, experiences, and attitudes of nurse educators regarding theory-based research is important. Ultimately, nurse educators are the producers of nursing knowledge and providers of education. The aim of this study is to understand the experiences of nurse educators in selecting and using nursing theory to guide and inform the quality of their research.MethodsThis study has a descriptive phenomenological design, and the sample was comprised of nine nurse educators who had experience with theory-based research. The data were collected via in-depth personal interviews using a semi-structured survey form. The data were analyzed with content analysis as described by Graneheim and Lundman.ResultsFour themes emerged from the results of the study: “awareness of theory,” “meaning of theory-based research,” “harmony with the theory,” and “changing towards scholarship,” with 10 subthemes. It was determined that theory-based research helps nurse educators to improve themselves in academic and personal terms.Implications for PracticeAlthough the process of translating theory into research presents several challenges, all participants expressed that theory-based research contributed to their “theory advancing nursing science.”
