PHENOMENOLOGY-HERMENEUTICS AN ATTRACTIVE FOR RESEARCH IN NURSING.

Abstract

The objective of this article is to reflect on the application of the ontological, epistemological and methodological planes of qualitative research, and its incursion in a positive way in the world of research in the nursing profession as a humanistic science in universities, Philosophical bases arise from the interrelation that must exist between the nurse-patient. It is important to highlight that research has undergone a fundamental change throughout its orientation, not only to try to understand traditional research and science; Thus, it was possible to develop and consolidate a more effective practice, that is, the realities whose nature and structures can be observed at least partially, from the outside, may be the object of study by other methods. All this is done on the different philosophical traditions such as phenomenology and hermeneutics, when exploring the thoughts of Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger; The two philosophical representations propose a viable methodological strategy to be used in qualitative research in the nursing profession, either under the descriptive school of Husserl and the interpretive position of Heidegger. The nurse needs this philosophy to give an interpretive meaning to the phenomena of the world of life in order to determine the importance of care in health-disease situations, favoring an analysis through the description and interpretation of the phenomena critical-reflective about ourselves. Phenomenology and hermeneutics require rigor as research methods, so that the findings are as accurate as possible from the perspective of those who experience it, and are useful in approaching the phenomenon under study. These research methods give nursing the opportunity to develop, to approach in depth the phenomenon of interest called the care of the human being.
