Phenomenological Analysis in Nursing Research: Lessons from Late Antenatal Care Experiences of Muslim Women in Thailand's Southern Border Provinces.
Abstract
Introduction: Phenomenological research is both a philosophy and a research methodology that focuses on studying human experiences in their real-world context, emphasizing the environmental factors that influence individual experiences. This method has gained popularity in health sciences because it provides a deep understanding of health experiences and illnesses among clients, leading to the development of appropriate care based on social and cultural contexts.
Objectives: To presents the application of phenomenological research in examining the experiences of delayed antenatal care among Muslim women in three southern border provinces of Thailand
Key issues: This article presents a phenomenological analysis in nursing research, particularly the delayed antenatal care experiences of Muslim women in the southern border provinces. The study utilized an Interpretive Phenomenological research approach grounded in Heidegger's concept.
Conclusion: The phenomenological analysis highlights the importance of using phenomenological research methods to grasp health experiences within specific contexts, which in turn facilitates the creation of suitable and effective health care interventions.
Implications: Applying phenomenology to sensitive health issues, like delayed antenatal care in specific ethnic or religious groups, will develop health care systems that are effective.
