Sammanfattning
Concepts are among the cornerstones
of a science, and concept
development is a necessary prerequisite
for meaningful research.
In caring science concept analysis
belongs to basic research, and
should, first and foremost
respond to the ‘what’-questions.
The purpose of this article is to
present and discuss the semantic
analysing method of P. Koort, and
to argue for the usefulness of
semantic analysis in theory development.
The purpose also is to
illustrate the method through
analysing the concept of art. The
semantic analysing method, developed
by P. Koort in the early
seventies, consists of an etymological
explanation and explanation
of concepts of family - a discrimination
analysis. The semantic
analysis shows that art has the
greatest degree of synonymy with
dexterity (71%), aesthetics
(50%), skill (50%) and proficiency
(50%). The discussion of the
results also shows that the concept
of skill is related to the levels
of doing, being and becoming in
helping the suffering patient, and
that the caregiver should have
competence in and be prepared
for a ‘journey’ with the patient on
all those levels. Without a semantic
analysis the concept of skill’s
relationship to these different
levels would have been difficult to
expose. The concept of proficiency
has also gained a deeper
meaning during the analysis.
