Hermeneutic and eidetic phenomenology applied to a clinical health-care study

Jillian McCarthy

pp. 487-511

Abstract

As an extension to her theoretical chapter, McCarthy goes through two examples from a constructivist research ideology perspective using two phenomenology method variations. She illustrates two positions on this continuum, an interpretive one with the eidetic phenomenology and the hermeneutic descriptive method. The unit of analysis in the research strategy for the first study was "the lived experience of telephone follow-up appointments for physicians and patients," and "the lived experience of health care managers" for the second, both having an inductive within-group focus. The level of analysis was individual and the generalization target was to scholars in the health-care discipline (as an inductive model).
