Lumbee women breast cancer survivors' stories understanding the experience by Cherry Maynor Beasley( 图书 )
1 edition published in 2009 in 英语 and held by 2 libraries worldwide
The purpose of this interpretive study was to understand the experiences of Lumbee women breast cancer survivors from the text of their oral stories about their life events related to surviving breast cancer. Lumbees, the largest American Indian tribe east of the Mississippi and the largest tribe never to have been confined to a reservation, are a unique people and are yet to be addressed in the nursing literature. As an oral people, Lumbees use their stories to recall past struggles and to instruct others who are encountering difficulties. Their stories revealed the meaning for them of surviving breast cancer as well as the foundations for their health care decisions. The research method delineated by Alligood and Fawcett within Gadamerian philosophical hermeneutics was used in this study because it allowed the researcher, a Lumbee nurse, to interpreter the stories, leading to an understanding of these women's experiences. As a result of this study, the interpreter's understanding of breast cancer survival of Lumbee women changed to now include: a) the reciprocity of the experiences in the personal and communal worlds, b) the phases of change are a critical part of survival, c) the realization that the personal and communal worlds undergo the same three phases but have different patterns that are used to assist in survival, and d) survival is a transformative process for the woman and her community.

What is good nursing care? the lived meaning of quality nursing care for practicing nurses by Linda Maas Burhans( 图书 )
1 edition published in 2008 in 英语 and held by 2 libraries worldwide
Healthcare quality in the United States of America (USA) is the subject of intense criticism. Although quality nursing care is vital to patient outcomes and safety, meaningful quality improvements have been disturbingly slow and incremental. Practicing nurses are rarely involved in developing improvement programs and their definitions of quality nursing care have not been known. The lived meaning of quality nursing care for practicing nurses was unknown and not addressed in the literature. A premise of this study was that effective efforts to improve quality nursing care must be meaningful and relevant to nurses. It was proposed that uncovering the lived meaning of quality nursing care would facilitate development of effective improvement approaches. The purpose of this study was to uncover the lived meaning of quality nursing care for nurses practicing in acute care hospitals. This lived meaning was revealed through analysis of practicing nurse interviews using van Manen's (1990) hermeneutic phenomenology, a research approach designed to explore and uncover the lived meaning of pragmatic experiences. The research question asked: "What is the lived meaning of quality nursing care for practicing nurses in the USA?" Participants were 12 nurses practicing on medical or surgical adult units at general or intermediate levels of care within acute care hospitals who participated in semi-structured interviews. Emerging themes were discovered through empirical and reflective analysis of audiotapes and transcripts. The lived meaning of quality nursing care for practicing nurses was meeting human needs through caring, empathetic, respectful interactions within which responsibility, intentionality, and advocacy form an essential, integral foundation. The lived experience of quality nursing care resided within nurse-patient interactions. The lived meaning of quality nursing care for these practicing nurses was within the art of nursing rather than the science of nursing. Practicing nurses, managers, administrators, educators, researchers, and policy makers may use these findings to further define the discipline of nursing and to facilitate practice changes, driving improvements in the quality of nursing care. Future studies based on this understanding of the lived meaning of quality nursing care could begin to address this focus in an effort to improve quality patient care.
