Sammanfattning
The
purpose of this article is to show
the distinctive features of three
different qualitative approaches
of research. To be able to reach a
deeper understanding of the three
scientific approaches chosen, I
will start a methodological discussion
by presenting three different
approaches: the phenomenological,
the hermeneutical and
the phenomenographical approach
and then examine them in
order to clarify what kind of scientific
knowledge they can generate
with regard to caring science.
The author’s opinion is that
the patients’ perceptions of care
depend on the unique educational
process which is present in every
culture and which influences people
in each and every aspect of
life. It makes caring a cultural
matter and it calls attention to the
processes of socialization and
learning which traditionally
would remain hidden or invisible.
A case-study will be demonstrated.
Than, I shall compare the
approaches with one another in
order to point out their similarity
and difference. Lastly, I will
argue for a way to describe what
it can mean to a patient to be a
patient in care giving settings.
