Abstract:

Dental involvement with oral cancer patients during their treatment and rehabilitation can be long and intense. How can dental personnel better understand their role in the treatment of these patients? How does treatment affect the patients and their spouses? In searching for answers, the theories of phenomenography, phenomenology and hermeneutics are used to describe and interpret the experiences of the hospital dental treatment teams, oral cancer patients, and their spouses.

Study I reveals that hospital dental treatment teams perceive the encounter with head and neck cancer patients in three qualitatively different ways; as an act of caring, as a serious and responsible task, and as an overwhelming emotional situation, indicating that they are not always able to lean on education and professional training in dealing with situations with strong emotional impact. Study II gives insight into the lifeworld of oral cancer patients, and how the patient becomes embodied in a mouth that is increasingly `uncanny´, as it slowly ceases to function normally. Study III shows that oral cancer puts a hold on the lifeworld of the patients’ spouses which can be described as `living in a state of suspension´. These findings suggest that the support needs of patients and spouses appear to be greatest at treatment end, when, upon returning home, they are faced with the accumulated impact of the patients’ sickness and treatment. Study IV gives insight into what it may mean to live with the consequences of oral cancer, revealing a silent physical, emotional and existential struggle to adjust to a changed way of living.

This thesis raises the question if todays’ organisation of oral cancer care can meet the varying emotional and existential needs of treatment teams, patients and spouses that were brought to light.

Abstract:

This thesis analyzes case studies of attached housing design according to principles derived from the philosophy of phenomenology; principles referred to as themes of the lifeworld. The lifeworld is the term given by phenomenologists to a person's personal, everyday perceptions of the world in which he or she lives. The lifeworld encompasses a person's relationship with him or herself, other people and the physical world in which he or she lives. It includes the moods, feelings and impressions that are associated with these relationships. Though each person's lifeworld is a personal and subjective affair, phenomenologists have discovered themes that are common to the lifeworlds of almost all people regardless of region or culture. This study concentrates on the themes that are common to people's perceptions of the physical world. It employs these themes in the analysis of examples of attached housing design in order to demonstrate that design principles developed through the philosophy of phenomenology can indeed be discovered in the real world. Such a demonstration is important because if the claims are true that phenomenology seeks out and establishes itself on an accurate understanding of how people experience the world, then a design approach informed by this understanding is more likely to result in thriving, livable environments than those approaches that exclusively emphasize visual imagery, the satisfaction of functional objectives or the fulfillment of pre-conceived design paradigms.

Abstract:

Aim The overall aim of this thesis is to create knowledge about caring and learning as an intertwining phenomenon at a Dedicated Education Unit and how it can be developed. Approach and method A lifeworld approach, based on the phenomenological philosophies foremost derived from Husserl and Merleau-Ponty was used and carried out in lifeworld interviews and with meaning-oriented analysis in accordance with reflective lifeworld research. The participants were: 13 student nurses (study I), 11 patients (study II), 8 supervisors (study III) all from the same DEU in orthopedic care and 10 managers from various DEUs (study IV). Main findings Intertwined caring and learning is most evident in genuine encounters between students and patients, supported by supervisors and managers. The intertwining is created in appealing challenges where students feel safe and ready. In the encounter with the patient they gain a sense of the whole where they can find their personal style. Patients, who feel invited to participate, could describe the encounter with students as genuine and a new dimension in nursing care. These encounters are characterized by closeness, thoroughness, accessibility, acknowledgement and sensitivity. When the encounter is less genuine, supervisors constitute an essential support for stabilizing the care. Supervisors constantly move in order to either stay close to or stand back, adjusting to the students’ and patients’ needs. Their demanding task as reflective supervisors requires pauses in order to maintain motivation. The managers’ daily struggle in a stressful and challenging reality is influenced by them either having or taking responsibility. Differences in approaches are shown in terms of more or less involvement and commitment in caring environment and educational issues. Conclusions Genuine encounters are characterized by the core of both caring and learning and will thereby benefit both the students and the patients. Identifying and supporting genuine encounters is necessary for students, supervisors and managers. It is time to find ways to develop a unified view of how caring and learning can be intertwined.

Abstract This thesis is based on the premise that formal education could promote ethical relationships with the environment and empower children to act towards a better future. The aim of the thesis is to create understanding about Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in relation to the definition of sustainable development and everyday experiences. In order to strengthen the practical relevance and an alternative educational approach in ESD, both children’s and teacher’s perspectives are explored in three studies. Methodologically this thesis follows qualitative and phenomenological guidelines. Method pluralism is applied in order to illuminate the complexity of lived experiences. Methods such as written reflections, drawings, evaluative walks and focus group interviews are used. Qualitative analysis in the studies aims to be transparent, starting from data collection and right up to the thematic discussions. The first study focused on children’s experiences in a schoolyard and resulted in three themes: learning, social relations and institutional boundaries. These themes described a schoolyard as a lived place and children’s outdoor experiences as part of the continuum of the whole schoolday. The second study focused on children’s visions of the future and elucidated how children relate to temporality through moral, temporal and spatial distances. Children’s visions of the future are necessary to address in ESD due the aspect of intergenerational justice. In the third study teachers experiences of an ESD school-project were studied by focus group interviews. This study emphasized teacher’s institutional circumstances in working with ESD and their understanding of environmental awareness. The study suggested that in classroom situations the contradictory nature of sustainable development was often replaced by teaching more conventional issues related to the environment. All the three studies related to a need to engage ESD with children’s lived experiences and local issues, but also acknowledge tensions between the local/global nexus. Two pedagogical ideals, action competence and Place-Based Education PBE, are according to this study alternative ways to strengthen children’s perspectives in ESD
Tiivistelmä Perusopetuksen mahdollisuudet edistää lasten eettistä ympäristösuhdetta ja voimaannuttaa heidät toimimaan paremman tulevaisuuden puolesta ovat tämän tutkimukset lähtökohdat. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena on lisätä ymmärrystä kestävän kehityksen kasvatuksesta (ESD) suhteessa kestävän kehityksen käsitteeseen ja arkielämän kokemuksiin. Sekä lasten että aikuisten näkökulmat ovat esillä tässä tutkimuksessa, jossa pyritään vahvistamaan ESD:n käytännön merkityksellisyyttä sekä etsimään vaihtoehtoisia kasvatusnäkökulmia. Tutkimuksen metodologia seuraa laadullisen ja fenomenologisen tutkimuksen suuntaviivoja. Tässä väitöskirjassa sovelletaan useita eri metodeja, kuten lasten kirjallisia pohdintoja, piirroksia, kävelykierroksia ja aikuisten focus group -haastatteluja. Laadullisen aineistoanalyysin päätavoite oli prosessin läpinäkyvyys alusta loppuun. Ensimmäinen osatutkimus koulupihoista lasten kokemana johti kolmeen teemaan: oppiminen, sosiaaliset suhteet sekä institutionaaliset muurit. Tutkimus korosti koulupihan merkitystä elettynä paikkana ja osana kokonaisvaltaista kouluelämystä. Toinen tutkimus lasten tulevaisuuden visioista muodosti käsityksen erilaisista etäisyyksistä, joilla lapset kuvaavat visioitaan: ajallinen, moraalinen ja maantieteellinen. Tulevaisuuden visiot sisältyvät ESD:hen johtuen kestävän kehityksen määritelmästä, joka velvoittaa huomioimaan tulevat sukupolvet. Kolmas osa-tutkimus käsitteli opettajien kokemuksia projektityöstä sekä heidän näkemyksiään ympäristötietoisuudesta. Kaikki kolme osatutkimusta painottivat lasten elämismaailman merkitystä ESD:ssä, huomioiden samalla jännitteen paikallisen ja globaalin maailmasuhteen välillä. Lasten elämismaailman korostaminen kasvatuksessa avaa uusia suuntia ESD:lle
Sammanfattning Avhandlingen baseras på premissen att formell utbildning kan främja etiska förhållningssätt till miljön och att barn kan ges egenmakt att agera för en bättre framtid. Syftet med avhandlingen är att skapa förståelse för lärande för hållbar utveckling (ESD) i relation till definitionen för hållbar utveckling och till vardagliga erfarenheter. I avsikt att stärka den praktiska relevansen och ett alternativt tillvägagångssätt för ESD, har både barns och lärares perspektiv studerats i tre studier. Metodologiskt är utgångspunkten kvalitativ och följer fenomenologiska principer. Med intentionen att belysa komplexiteten av levda erfarenheter har flera datainsamlingsmetoder använts; skrivna reflektioner, teckningar, utvärderande promenader och fokusgruppsintervjuer. Den första studien fokuserade barnens erfarenheter av en skolgård och resulterade i tre teman: lärande, sociala relationer och institutionella gränser. Dessa teman beskrev skolgården som en levd plats och barnens erfarenheter utomhus som en del av ett kontinuum av skoldagen. Den andra studien fokuserade barnens visioner om framtiden och belyste hur barnen relaterar till tiden genom moraliska, tidsliga och rumsliga distanser. Barnens visioner om framtiden är nödvändiga att belysa i ESD med tanke på aspekter av rättvisa gentemot kommande generationer. I den tredje studien genomfördes fokusgruppsintervjuer med lärare som deltog i ett projekt om ESD. Studien belyste lärares institutionella förutsättningar för att jobba med ESD och deras förståelse av miljömedvetenhet. Studien visade att hållbar utvecklings många gånger motsägelsefulla budskap ersattes med mer konventionella miljöfrågor i undervisningen. Samtliga tre studier visade på behovet av att koppla samman ESD med barnens levda erfarenheter och lokala frågor, men också att lyfta fram spänningar mellan det lokala och det globala. Två pedagogiska ideal, action competence och Place-Based Education, är enligt slutsatserna i denna avhandling alternativa vägar till att stärka barnens perspektiv inom ESD

Abstract:

Acute myocardial infarction is a serious diagnosis. Both the patient and the loved ones experience an immediate uncertainty. To be able to emotionally support the patient´s spouse, the nurse in the coronary care unit must be prepared to also encounter the world of the spouse. The aim of this study was from a nursing perspective to illuminate how life was experienced during the first two months by the spouse of someone, who was stricken by a first time acute myocardial infarction. Interviews with six spouses were conducted. The methodological approach was phenomenological-hermeneutic, based on the French philosopher Paul Riceour. The result of the qualitative text analysis showed four themes: To lose one´s foothold, To be exposed to the medical and nursing staff, To get a changed relationship to one´s partner, To wish to make the most of one´s life. The first theme highlighted the spouse’s strong feelings of uncertainty concerning the outcome of the patient. The second theme showed the spouse’s confidence in the medical care. It also showed the spouse’s sense of being insulted by the nurses, who did not acknowledge the spouses´ need of obtaining information and emotional support. The third theme demonstrated how the partner cared for and felt responsible for observing the former patient´s health condition. The fourth theme showed that the spouse realized that life has to come to an end and therefore wanted to realize his/her plans for the future before it was too late. The findings from this study emphasize the importance of the medical and nursing staff to show interest in the spouses´ experiences. Thereby the spouses can experience a support in congruence with their needs, and their life situation might thereby be improved. It would be of great interest to study how nurses regard the spouses´ life situation during the patients´ stay in hospital. Further research could also highlight which factors could minimize the sufferings of partners to seriously sick patients, regardless of the patients´ diagnosis.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to investigate how four preschool teachers experience their discretion in the working team and what is reinforcing and limiting factors for this. The empirical data for this qualitative thesis was collected through interviews with four preschool teachers working in different preschools in Stockholm. I used semi-structured interviews, which is characterized by open questions and a curios and open attitude for me as an interviewer, where I tried to follow the interviewee by asking follow-up questions. A phenomenological perspective has been used as a theoretical framework for this study. This has led to that I have looked at discretion as a phenomenon and how it is experienced and perceived in the preschool teachers’ lifeworlds. The empirical data were analyzed and interpreted based on a hermeneutical approach.The result shows that a critical factor for discretion in the working team at preschool is their own personal characters ability to "stand up for oneself," without being hindered by the fear to be seen as troublesome. To find good arguments, to give and receive feedback and be able to compromise and include others and have clear procedures was also perceived as reinforcement for discretion. Limiting for the experience of discretion could be the lack of good communication and colleagues who don’t have the same level of education.

Abstract:

The extensive suffering related to a complex life situation with bipolar disorder and the reported difference between care needs and the needs that are actually met implicates that there are still questions about management of life with bipolar disorder that need to be answered. The present study therefore aims to describe the meaning of the conditions that enable a good life with bipolar disorder. Ten persons, six women and four men, (aged 30 – 61), diagnosed with bipolar disorder were interviewed. A reflective lifeworld perspective based on phenomenological philosophy was used. The findings present the essential meaning of the conditions that enable a good life with bipolar disorder as a dependence that empowers, which is further described by its constituents: “turning the course of life”, “protecting oneself from running out of energy”, “being needed”, “being oneself through reliable others”, “personal landmarks for navigating through life”. A voluntary chosen dependence, as described in the present study, is a new approach of care that enables a good life with bipolar disorder, while enhancing own power, freedom and control. The conditions that enable a good life with bipolar disorder are more than separate supporting measures. Therefore a holistic perspective is preferable while providing care for individuals with bipolar disorder.

Abstract:

This thesis explores the phenomenon of touch and describes its meaning in the healthcare context. Caring science theory based on a lifeworld approach forms the theoretical perspective of the dissertation and consequently the patient perspective is guiding the research. The ontological, epistemological and methodological framework of the thesis is phenomenology. The overall aim was to describe the phenomenon of touch in the healthcare context. Touch showed to be a phenomenon with several diverse aspects being differentially explicit in different contexts. Four empirical studies were therefore conducted in different contexts. Further, a synthesis of the empirical results was carried out to show the invariant meanings and structure of the phenomenon. Furthermore, a philosophical illumination of the results was carried out to further deepen and expand the understanding of touch related to healthcare. The phenomenon of touch is described as a complex caring movement, as an interplay between lived bodies forming a foundation to understand health, suffering, well-being, and care. The results show how touch has the power to both alleviate the patients’ suffering and to experience joy and deep connectedness, as well as how touch can frighten and cause or worsen suffering. In order to take advantage of the caring potential, the person who touches must be fully present in all senses of the word. Caring touch of different kinds can never be reduced to a “method”. It is much more than a mechanical and static act or a treatment. Moreover, touch that is objectifying may be understood as an obstacle or detrimental for the caring relationship and well-being since it lacks the necessary pliable interpersonal room. Such touch creates distance and alienation rather than closeness, trust and togetherness. If the potential of touch for caring is to be used and the threat of non-caring warded off, then the intentionality of touch must be balanced visavi the existential vulnerability of the individual. Therefore carers need to be open and attentive to the lifeworld of the patients to enhance their health-processes and avoid hurting them.

Abstract:

Although Hispanics are graduating from high school at greater rates, it is not leading to college success as college graduation rates remain low. In Texas, the Hispanic population has grown to the point that one out of three of all Texans are Hispanic. A phenomenological approach to research was used to investigate the perceptions of Hispanic college students on how well their public high school prepared them for college. Through face-to-face interviews and focus group discussions, eight Hispanic college students provided insight concerning their high school experience and how it translated into college readiness. Four questions guided the study: 1) in what ways do Hispanic college students believe their public high school prepared or failed to prepare them academically for post-secondary education; 2) in what ways do Hispanic college students believe their public high school prepared or failed to prepare them culturally for post-secondary education; 3) in what ways do Hispanic college students believe their public high school prepared or failed to prepare them socio-emotionally for post-secondary education; and 4) how do Hispanic students perceive their cultural identity in regards to their high school experience. Findings revealed four themes relating to how Hispanic students perceive their high school experience prepared them for college which include, academic readiness, cultural readiness, socio-emotional readiness, and cultural identity. The research demonstrated the complex process of transitioning from high school to college for Hispanics.

Abstract:

Today adult patients' relatives are seen as a resource in psychiatric care but few researchers have examined the lived experience of relatives' participation in psychiatric care. The aim of this study was to illuminate how mental health staff and relatives of adult patients experienced the relatives' participation in psychiatric care on hospital ward.

The study was guided by a phenomenological approach and a lifeworld perspective. Data were collected through in-deep interviews with ten adult patients' relatives and three group-interviews with ten mental health carers from two hospitals in Sweden.

The essence of the lived experience of relatives' participation in psychiatric care in hospital ward is described in the constituents: invitation to participate in psychiatric care; meet the staffs' care; to participate in own or others terms; bring the common everyday world with you; feel burden; participation a trip in time and space. The findings of the study show that the relation between the staff and the relatives are important for the relatives' participation in psychiatric care. The relatives' participation can alter from no participation to a meaningsful participation, from suffering to well-being.

This study can help medical staff to understand relatives and their participation in a new way.

Abstract:

Äldres rädsla för att bli utsatt för brott är ett relativt outforskat område. Aktuell forskning om äldres rädsla sammanställs genom statistik för hur många äldre som känner rädsla, men det fattas ett berättande perspektiv där man lyfter fram vad de äldre har att säga om sina erfarenheter och upplevelser av rädsla för att bli utsatt för brott. Syftet för denna studie är att undersöka vad äldre personer har att säga om fenomenet rädsla för att bli utsatt för brott och ta reda på hur det ser ut och påverkar deras vardag.Studien har en fenomenologisk ansats med livsvärldsteorin som utgångspunkt. Datainsamlingen har skett genom öppna intervjuer. Resultatet visar att fenomenet äldres rädsla för att bli utsatt för brott visar sig som att vara riskanalytiskt medveten. Detta framgår i följande konstituenter: (i) att utveckla strategier för eventuell utsatthet av brott, (ii) upplevelse av oro, (iii) upplevelse av rädsla, (iv) rationellt tänkande kring brott och (v) tidigare erfarenheter av utsatthet för brott. Dessa konstituenter bildar fenomenet som i sin tur är den upplevelse som visar sig i informanternas livsvärldar.De kunskaper som studien bidrar med kan användas för fortsatt arbete med förebyggande åtgärder för brott relaterat till äldre och för att göra de äldres känsla av sin tillvaro tryggare.
Elderly people's fear of becoming a victim of crime is a relatively unexplored area. Current research on elderly people’s fear is compiled by statistics on how many elderly people who feel fear. A narrative perspective where one highlights what the elderly people have to say about their experience for fear of becoming a victim of crime is missing. The purpose of this study is to analyze what elderly people have to say about the phenomenon “fear of becoming a victim of crime” and ascertain how it looks and how it affects their everyday life.The study has a phenomenological approach with life-world theory as a starting point. The data collection was made through open interviews. The results show that the phenomenon “elderly peoples fear of becoming a victim of crime” proves to be a risk analytical conscious. This is shown in the following constituents: (i) to develop strategies for eventual exploitation of crime, (ii) the experience of anxiety, (iii) the experience of fear, (iv) rational thinking about crimes and (v) the previous experience of victimization. These constituents are forming the phenomenon, which in turn is the experience that is reflected in the informant’s life worlds.The knowledge this study contributes with can be used for continued work with prevention of crimes related to the elderly and to make their sense of their lives safer.

Abstract:

Wireklint Sundström, Birgitta, 2005. Prepared to be unprepared. A phenomeno-logical study of assessment with a caring approach and how it can be learned in the ambulance services.A focal point in this dissertation is that there is knowledge in the ambulance ser-vice that is experience-based, which has not always been made explicit, and that provides the foundation for the caregivers’ assessment of the patients and their needs for care. The first aim of the study was to describe and analyse the ambu-lance services with a focus on the phenomenon of assessment from the lifeworld perspective in the caring sciences. The second aim of the study was of an educa-tional nature where the object was to be able to draw conclusions about the learning process in the ambulance service in the light of the knowledge generat-ed by the empirical findings. Thus the aim was to create a synthesis consisting of didactic ideas that are based on the caring sciences and describing how assess-ment can be learnt and can support future caregivers in the ambulance services.Assessment in the ambulance service entails, on an overall level, having a natu-ral caring attitude that includes striving in two directions at the same time. These are that on the one hand the caregivers strive to bring order to that which is dis-ordered as soon as possible, to structure the unstructured, and in short define the indefinite in order to provide medical assistance. There is a need to quickly as-sess the patient’s condition and which measures are necessary. On the other hand the caregivers strive to let the indefinite wait a while in order to be able to meet the patient’s suffering. There is thus a desire to listen attentively to the individual patient.The essential meaning of assessment of patients in the ambulance services is that there are conflicting demands on assessment and care, which entails that the caregiver adapts him/herself to the prevailing care situation in a way that means being flexible and adaptable to the patient’s medical condition. The caregivers also have a flexibility and adaptability in relation to their colleague, which leads to a mutual interplay in the assessment. Assessment in the ambulance services also means that the caregivers are paradoxically prepared at the same time as be-ing unprepared, i.e. they are prepared for the unprepared. The assessment thus starts before the caregivers have reached the patient and the actual situation. Even if they “know” what awaits them, they do not really “know”. It becomes a dynamic struggle between on the one side the expectancy that feels certain and on the other the unknown in every new situation. The struggle contains a desire for control and effectiveness in a care practice full of surprises.

Abstract:

The presence of flowers is felt in Catholic architecture, literature, artwork, personal histories and devotional practices. This, however, has not always been the case. The Catholic Church has had a long and tumultuous relationship with flowers, the focus of which has been the subject of considerable scholarship (e.g. Fisher (2011, 2007), Ward (1999), Winston-Allen (1997), Goody (1993), Coats (1970)). What has not been much considered is a phenomenological treatment of Catholic floral experience, and how such experiences have shaped individual and shared understandings of the Catholic faith. This thesis seeks to redress this omission through an exploration of the life of the Polish Catholic mystic, St. Faustina Kowalska (1905-1938), whose mystical experiences with the divine were explicitly mediated and narrated through flowers. Through Faustina’s diary, Divine Mercy in my Soul, we gain access to powerful, and unequivocally Catholic, experiences with flowers which comprise the very centre of her religious convictions. This thesis queries the ways in which flowers have dynamically shaped, and have been shaped by, St. Faustina's relationship with God and Catholic holy figures. To address this question I use the semiotic, phenomenological and hermeneutic approach of Max van Manen. Van Manen uses four elements of lived experience he calls lifeworld existentials, these are: lived space, lived time, lived body and lived relationality. These four categories are applied to St. Faustina’s life as she engages with God spatially, temporally, corporeally and relationally; each reveals the centrality of flowers in her religious experiences. While this thesis focuses on the religio-floral experiences of a particular mystic-saint, its significance lies also in the broader Catholic narrative of which it is a part. Writing about flowers was a transformative medium in Faustina's life and has been historically significant in the lives of many other Catholic saints and mystics who recorded similar experiences. This thesis, in describing the details of St. Faustina’s floral-saturated experiences from her diary, reveals a particularized instance of a paradigmatic Catholic phenomenon whereby flowers provide access to the sacred.

The study was carried out in two upper secondary schools where the students had each recently been given their own laptop, a so-called one-to-one computer. The purpose of the study was to describe and analyse the teachers’ experiences of using digital resources in teaching. Four teachers, three men and one woman, from two upper secondary schools in a Swedish municipality, participated in the study. Empirical material was collected during autumn 2010 and spring 2012. The methods used in the collection were interviews and participatory observations, so-called go-along observations. The study’s theoretical approach has its foundation in phenomenological philosophy. In the result care, time and teachers’ lived experiences of didactic work emerge as important for the utilisation of digital resources in teaching. In the teaching, the teachers’ experiences and knowledge of their subjects, teaching, digital resources, and life experiences and knowledge seemed to interact. This interaction between experiences and knowledge is described in the study as lived experiences of didactic work. The study shows that teachers dealt with the new digital technology and designed learning environments for the students with the starting point of their lived experiences of didactic work and assumptions about the students’ interest for digital resources. The teachers’ care with relationship building and creation of trust and confidence was shown to have importance for how, and to what extent, digital resources could be used in teaching. Both similarities and differences in the teachers’ experiences of, and knowledge about, how teaching is carried out with one-to-one computers emerged in the study. Two of the teachers were more experienced users of digital resources in comparison with the two others. The teachers’ experiences of digital resources are often related to their own interest in these, but their experiences are also related to the lack of time for learning to use digital resources as pedagogical tools.

Abstract:

Syftet med föreliggande studie har varit att uppnå ökad förståelse för hur det upplevs att få en synskada i en sen ålder i livet, samt hur synskadade äldre hanterat denna livsförändring. Studien utgick från semistrukturerade intervjuer av sex äldre personer med synskada i Danmark, som alla drabbats av grav synnedsättning efter att de fyllt 60 år. En kvalitativ innehållsanalys ledde fram till fyra överkategorier som tillsammans summerar de centrala teman i intervjuerna; Lärande, Coping, Självständighet och Acceptans. Den studie som presenteras här grundar sig i Mezirows teori om transformativt lärande kombinerat med ett fenomenologiskt livsvärldsperspektiv. Studien beskriver hur det att drabbas av en synskada innebär en stor livsförändring som tvingar individen genom en lärande process på flera plan: fysiskt, mentalt och inte minst identitetsmässigt. Studiens konklusion pekar därför på betydelsen av att ha ett holistiskt synsätt när man arbetar med människor som genomgår stora livsförändringar samt behovet av mer kunskap om hur professionella och samhället i övrigt bättre kan stödja individen genom den sorge- och bearbetningsprocess det innebär att förlora sin syn, helt eller delvis, i en sen ålder.
The aim of this study was to improve our understanding of how elderly people, affected by visual loss late in life, experience and handle such a life-changing process. The thesis is based on a qualitative scientific method, in which six elderly participated in semi-structured interviews, after which thematic content analysis was conducted. The analysis resulted in four overarching themes: Learning, Coping, Independence, and Acceptance. This thesis presents a phenomenological study of the experiences of visually impaired elderly people. It is grounded in the concept of the “life-world” - the world we perceive in living our daily lives, and the theory of Transformative learning. Our research aims to highlight the perspective of the senior him- or herself. The results show that learning processes are individual and related to the participants' respective life-worlds and lived experiences. The conclusions show the importance of adopting a holistic approach adapted to the needs of the individual and providing integrated mental health support alongside the conventional low vision intervention.

Abstract:

Studien utforskade de närståendes livsvärld när partnern drabbats av Alzheimers sjukdom. Deras livsvärld och existentiella villkor var i fokus. Studien utgick från ett existentiellt fenomenologiskt tolkande perspektiv. Den teoretiska grunden bestod av ett tänkande kring de närståendes livsvärld utifrån fyra existentialer: det levda rummet, den levda tiden, den levda kroppen och den levda relationen. Datainsamling skedde utifrån Max van Manens utforskande intervjuer med tio närstående, fem kvinnor och fem män i yrkesverksam ålder 40 till 64 år, de levde alla tillsammans med en partner som fått sin diagnos för ett år sedan eller längre. Data analyserades genom att lyssna igenom de digitala inspelningarna flera gånger, transkribering av desamma och genomläsning av de utskrivna texterna, nya genomlyssningar och genomläsningar. Analysen utvecklades genom en hermeneutisk, fenomenologisk reflektion beskriven av van Manen. Studiens resultat kategoriserades och dessa analyserades sedan i fyra delar utifrån de fyra existentialerna. Resultatet visade att upplevelsen av den levda tiden blev annorlunda mot tidigare då framtiden fick stå tillbaka för nuet, som var det som de närstående måste förhålla sig till för att vardagen skulle fungera. Det levda rummets aspekter förändrades utifrån skyddsaspekten och nya roller inom familjen. Den levda kroppen krävde egen återhämtning och längtade efter närhet. Den levda relationen förändrades, när upplevelsen av närhet och behovet av distans ändrades. De existentiella villkoren förändrades radikalt och nya strategier gav en ny livsstil i en förändrad och sammanflätad livsvärld.

The study explored the lifeworld of being a partner to a person with Alzheimer’s disease. Lived experience and existential conditions were focused. The study has an existential phenomenological hermeneutic perspective. The theoretical underpinnings consist of thinking of lifeworld by means of four life existentials: lived space, lived body, lived time and lived relations. Data collection was done by Max van Manens reflective dialog interview with ten respondents, five women and five men at age between 40 and 64, living with a partner who had had their diagnosis the last year or longer. Data analyses took place listening and re-listening the recorded interviews, transcribing, reading and re-reading the texts. The analysis evolved through hermeneutic, phenomenological reflection described by van Manen. The result of the study was categorized and the analysis was done in four parts following the four life existentials. The result showed that lived time is different than before since the future has to stand back in favour of here and now in order to be able to cope with everyday life. The lived space changed to secure the partner and everyday roles changed in the family. The lived body needed to rest and longed for closeness. The lived relation changed when the need of closeness and distance changed. The existential conditions changed radically and a new way of living was found in new strategies in a changed and interlaced lifeworld.

Abstract:

Syftet med denna avhandling är att skapa kunskap om vad det innebär för yngre barn att genomgå nålrelaterade medicinska procedurer. Dessutom vad vårdande stöd i samband med dessa procedurer innebär utifrån barns, föräldrars och sjuksköterskors perspektiv. Nålrelaterade medicinska procedurer är undersökningar som barn behöver vara med om i vården för att motverka sjukdom, för att ta reda på varför barnet är sjukt och för att ge barnet behandling. Dessa åtgärder innebär att barn behöver vara med om nålstick. Med hjälp av deltagande observationer och livsvärldsintervjuer, som har dokumenterats genom videoobservationer, fältanteckningar och ljudinspelningar, har datainsamlingen genomförts i vården med yngre barn, 3-7 år, deras föräldrar och sjuksköterskor. Barnen har berättat om konsekvenser som de har upplevt av nålprocedurer och om att få stöd vid dessa åtgärder. Föräldrar och sjuksköterskor har berättat om sina erfarenheter av att ge stöd till barnen. Avhandlingens resultat visar att en framträdande konsekvens för barn under nålprocedurer är upplevelse av rädsla. Hur föräldrar och sjuksköterskor svarar an mot detta har en avgörande betydelse för om barnets rädsla ökar eller minskar. Denna avhandling bidrar med kunskap om barns upplevelser av nålprocedurer och behov av stöd samt hur stödet kan utformas vid dessa åtgärder. Emellertid, forskning inom området ärfortfarande otillräcklig och ytterligare forskning behövs där barns perspektiv lyfts fram i vården.
Aim: The overall aim of the thesis is to create knowledge about what it means for younger children to undergo needle-related medical procedures (NRMPs), and what caring support in relation to this means based on nurses’, parents’, and younger children's perspectives. Methods: The first and second papers used descriptive phenomenological analysis to describe the meanings of supporting younger children during NRMPs from the perspective of nurses (Ι) and parents(ΙΙ). The third and fourth papers used lifeworld hermeneutic analysis to explain and understand the consequences related to NRMPs (ΙΙΙ) and support (ΙV) during these procedures from younger children’s perspectives. Data has been collected by participant observations and lifeworld interviews documented by video-recorded observations, field notes, and audio-recorded interviews. In total 60 people participated, fourteen nurses, twenty-five parents, and twenty-one children. Main results: The results show that an important consequence for children of procedures with needles is experiences of fear. The child's fear affects how the child is able to manage the procedure and the support the child gets from adults is crucial to whether the child's fear increases or decreases. The support consists of giving support or receiving support. Parents support the child by safeguarding and protecting the child during the needle-related procedure; they “keep the child under the protection of their wings,” sometimes very close and sometimes a little further out under the wingtips. Nurses support the child by starting from individual child’s experiences and needs; they "balance on a tightrope" in an unpredictable situation. In the meeting between the child, the parents, and the nurses, the adults are guided by the child in what forms of support are provided. This continues until the needle-related medical procedure is completed and the child can walk proud and strong from the procedure with a feeling that "I can handle this.” Conclusions: Children’s need for support during needle-related medical procedures is primarily tied to children’s experiences of fear. For the child to experience a caring support, adults need to understand children’s experiences of fear as well as children’s need for support and what form the support should take. A caring support develops dialectically between children and adults in a circular movement. In such a dialectic, the child guides the adult and vice versa. That children have the capability of guiding adults during needle-related medical procedures shows that they are active and participating. Here it becomes clear that there is no objective location of the phenomenon of support. Support can therefore only be studied as a lived experience of those who need it.

Abstract:

Research shows that supportive conversations with elderly who are living in nursing homes isrequested among care personnel, this to satisfy both older people's mental health and socialhealth. The care personnel try to offer the elderly supportive conversation to the extent theyare able to, but they are experiencing obstacles in terms of shortage of time, ignorance and aperceived ambiguity in their profession. The purpose of present study is to describe andanalyze the phenomenon of supportive conversation with elderly living in nursing homes,based on care personnel’s perspective. The study is based on qualitative interviews with thecare personnel working in special housing. The result is analyzed from a phenomenologicalperspective with the lifeworld theory and domain theory as basis. Further on, research is usedto describe and analyze the phenomenon. The results show that care personnel feel that thereis a need for supportive conversation for older people in special housing. However, they don’thave the opportunities to offer this because of shortage of time, lack of knowledge andambiguity about what is included in their work as care personnel. This contributes to theexperienced stress among care personnel and the feeling of inadequacy in their professionalcapacity, which results in a sense of not having the ability to give the elderly a good care.
Tidigare forskning visar att samtal för äldre på särskilda boenden är något som omsorgspersonal efterfrågar, för att tillgodose de äldres psykiska och sociala hälsa. Omsorgspersonalen försöker erbjuda de äldre samtal i den mån de kan, men de upplever hinder i form utav tidsbrist, okunskap och upplevd otydlighet beträffande dagens yrkesroll som omsorgspersonal. Syftet med föreliggande studie är att beskriva och analysera fenomenet samtalsstöd för äldre människor på särskilt boende, sett utifrån omsorgspersonalens perspektiv. Studien har genomförts med kvalitativa intervjuer med omsorgspersonal på särskilda boenden. Resultatet är analyserat ur ett fenomenologiskt perspektiv med utgångspunkt i livsvärldsteorin och domänteorin. Vidare används tidigare forskning för att beskriva och analysera fenomenet. Av resultatet framgår att omsorgspersonalen upplever att det finns behov av samtalsstöd för äldre på särskilt boende. De saknar dock möjligheten att erbjuda detta på grund av tidsbrist, brist på kunskap och oklarheter om vad som ingår i deras arbetsuppgifter som omsorgspersonal. Detta bidrar till att omsorgspersonalen upplever stress och känner sig otillräckliga i sin yrkesroll, vilket resulterar i en känsla av att inte ha möjligheten att ge den äldre en god omsorg.

Abstract:

Syftet med föreliggande självstudie har varit att undersöka huruvida yoga kan hjälpa mig att få ordning på min oregelbundna bröstkorgsandning samt om en förbättrad viloandning skulle kunna underlätta andningen i mitt sångutövande. Studien genomsyras av ett fenomenologiskt perspektiv med livsvärldsteorin och kroppens fenomenologi som grund. Eftersom perspektivet ses som en erfarenhetsfilosofi ställs mina egna upplevelser i fokus, vilket motiverar dokumentationssmetoden loggbok. Resultatet grundar sig således på egna loggboksanteckningar, vilka efter en 15 veckors projektperiod bearbetats och analyserats för att försöka synliggöra yogans effekt. Vidare presenteras resultatet i två teman, varpå det första ringar in upplevelser kopplade till stress och andning medan det andra inriktar sig på sångupplevelsen och hur denna förändrats under projektperiodens gång. Resultatet visar att yogan haft en stressreducerande effekt, vilket påverkat andningen positivt samt att sjungandet upplevs lättare, vilket leder till ökad motivation. För att söka förstå dessa fenomen förs avslutningsvis en diskussion där resultatet kopplas till tidigare forskning och litteratur. Diskussionen leder fram till slutsatsen att flera faktorer, så som ökad aktivitet i det parasympatiska nervsystemet, ökad energiproduktion som ett resultat av en förbättrad andning, ökad avslappning samt ökad kropps- och röstkontroll som ett resultat av ett medvetet handlande, haft en samverkande påverkan på utfallet.
The purpose of this self-study has been to investigate whether yoga can help improve my irregular thoracic breathing and if an improved respiration could facilitate better breathing in my vocal exercise. The study is permeated by a phenomenology perspective with focus on phenomenology of the body and Husserl's life-world theory. As the perspective is viewed as an experience philosophy, my own experiences are in focus, which motivates logbook as documentation method. The result is therefore based on my own notes, which were processed and analysed after a 15-week project-period, with the purpose to make the effects of the practised yoga visible. The result is presented in two themes, were the first one focuses on experiences related to stress and breathing, and the other one on the singing experience and how this experience changed during the project period. The result shows that the exercise of yoga had a stress-reducing effect, which positively affected my breathing. In addition, it shows that I found it easier to sing, which leads to increased motivation. To understand these phenomena, a discussion is held, linking the results to previous research and literature. The discussion leads to the conclusion that several factors, such as increased activity in the parasympathetic nervous system, increased energy production as in part of an improved breathing, increased relaxation, and increased body and voice control as a result of conscious acts, had a coherent impact on the outcome.

Abstract:

The present study focuses on the caring of patients who have sexually abused children. To do research in a field that has been considered taboo has not been without problems. The conclusive factor for the decision to carry out the research was the fascinating and interesting paradox that, in spite of the caregivers having a mandate from the judicial system to do care for these patients, they do not understand how this care is to be given. The understanding of what caring for these patients can entail is based on the perspectives of the lifeworld of both the patients and the caregivers. The theoretical perspective in this dissertation is that of the caring sciences while the epistemological framework is phenomenology. Research data consist of qualitative interviews. The aim of the first study is to describe the patients’ suffering, and the aim of the second study is to describe the caregivers’ experiences of caring for these patients. The essential meaning of the suffering felt by the patients is described in terms of the patients’ acknowledgement and then betrayal of their yearning to be part of a close human fellowship. The meaning structure of “caring”, can be understood as being lost in an obscure and unknown landscape. It challenges the caregivers and occasionally arouses strongly unpleasant but also strongly threatening feelings. However when the caregivers gain clarity on how to care they are able to find their caring courage and hope, even for these patients. The findings thus show that caring for patients who themselves do not see any opportunity of taking a place among other adults is a great challenge. The study also shows that the support that is needed to be successful in caring for these patients is a caring culture that can permeate both patients and caregivers. These patients, whose criminal acts appear to be bizarre and strange, need to learn to be able to bear their suffering without losing their humanity. The philosophical intermediate chapter shows that it is the body image of the patients that prevents them from becoming whole, i.e. existing fully, by it playing the existential drama that leads to sexual abuse. It appears from this dissertation that in order for caring to be able to relieve the suffering felt by these patients, and thus prevent them from further abuse of children, then it is important as a caregiver to be able to allow the patients just to “be”. The research also shows that in order for caregivers to be able to understand what they receive from the patients they need support from both caring science and existential reflections. Such methods can help to clarify caring and to give possibilities for a freer and more creative thinking. Encountering and understanding different lifeworlds is necessary in order to give care based on a caring perspective. The patient group in the present study have been able to demonstrate this in a clearer way than has previously been done.

Abstract:

Syftet med denna studie var att förstå barnens upplevelser av världen som den kan framträda i mobil förskola. Målet var att identifiera barnets subjektiva upplevelse utifrån ett fenomenologiskt teoretiskt perspektiv. Studien bygger på att forskaren själv försöker sätta sig in i barnets perspektiv med hjälp av fältstudier, Leuvens skala av välbefinnande och engagemang, semistrukturerade intervjuer och IPA- inspirerad analysmetod. Studiens resultat visar att barn som deltar i den mobila förskolans verksamhet gärna berättar om sina olika upplevelser, från olika miljöer som de besöker. Barnen berättar och beskriver detaljer av det upplevda, som i denna studie ses som olika fenomen, arena för rörelse, arena för samspel, arena för förståelse, arena för känslor, arena för möjligheter och arena för fantasi. Arenorna tyder på att barnen i sina upplevelser utvecklar förståelse i sin livsvärld. Det kan beskrivas som att deras upplevelser har bidragit till kunskapsbildning och det kan tolkas som att barnen förnimmer olika upplevelser, att det påverkar deras utveckling och lärande.
Abstract The purpose of this study was to understand children’s experiences of the world as it develops in a mobile preschool. The aim was to identify a subjective experience from a child´s perspective within a phenomenological framework. In this study, the researcher herself trives to understand a child’s perspective by using field studies, Leuvens scale of well-being and involvement, semistructured interviews and an IPA-inspired analysis. The study shows that children who participate in mobile preschool activities gladly tell about their experiences of the different environments. The children explain and describe details of their experiences, defined in this study as different phenomena, namely, arenas for movement, for interplay/interaction, for understanding, for feelings, for possibilities and for fantasy. The results indicate that through their experiences children develop an understanding of their lifeworld by building knowledge. Results also suggest that having different perceptions of their experiences affects their development and ability to learn.

Abstract:

To be sentenced to care in the forensic psychiatric services can be seen as one of the most comprehensive encroachments society can make on a person's life and being, as it entails a limitation of the individual's freedom but with no time limit. The aim of this dissertation is to describe caring in forensic psychiatry based on how it is experienced by those who perform the caring and by those are cared for in a maximum secure unit. A reflective lifeworld approach, based on phenomenological philosophy, has been applied. The data has been collected in interviews that have been analyzed by use of a meaning analysis searching for the essence of the phenomenon. The results of the research are presented in two empirical studies and a general structure based on the empirical findings. The dissertation also contains an excursus, a philosophical intermediate chapter containing further analysis of the results of the studies. The results show how the forensic psychiatric care is experienced as being non-caring by the patients with only small "pockets" of good care. Caring consists of corrective techniques that are unreflected and contradictory, where the conditions are determined by the caregivers and the ward culture. The correcting takes place through the modification of the patients' behaviour with the aim of the patients having to adapt themselves to the terms of the care provision. This care results in the patients trying, by use of different strategies, to adapt them-selves to the demands of the caregivers in order to gain privileges. At the same time the patients long to get away from the care system and are lacking real, meaningful and close relationships. To be the subject of care entails struggling against an approaching overwhelming sense of resignation and to care entails experiencing both power and powerlessness in performing the care. A destructive power struggle is being waged within forensic psychiatric care that suppresses the caring potential and true caring is thus elusive. The characteristics of forensic psychiatric care, based on the results of the research, are clarified in the dissertation's excursus. These include the corrective and disciplinary nature of forensic psychiatric care, its power and how this is materialized in care situations as well as the influence of tradition on current forensic psychiatric care in the light of the work of the French philosopher Michel Foucault. The dissertation shows that if the caring potential is to be able to be developed and form a caring nucleus for forensic psychiatric care then education levels need to be further developed. A caring culture and caring environment is needed where true caring can gain a foothold. In order for this to become a possibility the current caring culture and environment must be clarified, questioned and examined. The prevalent fundamental ideas in forensic psychiatric care have to be "jeopardized" and challenged by new scientifically based ideas on what constitutes true caring in this context.

Abstract:

Aim: The overall aim of the thesis was to describe the experiences of awake patients during surgery under regional anesthesia. In addition, the aim was to develop a model for intraoperative care that can support and enhance patients’ well-being during the intraoperative period. Methods: Study I was a patient interview study guided by a reflective lifeworld approach. In study II a philosophical reflection of the findings from study I was carried out. In study III a hermeneutic approach inspired by Ricoeur and Gadamer was used in order to interpret video recorded material. In study IV a hermeneutic approach inspired by Gadamer was used to synthesize the findings in studies I-III transformed into an intraoperative caring model. Overall main findings: The analysis shows that being awake during surgery can be compared with walking a tightrope because of ambiguous feelings. The proximity and presence of the nurse anesthetist (NA) anchors the patient in the present and strengthens the patient’s feeling of trust. The temporary disruption in the relationship between the body and the world due to regional anesthesia means that the patient’s being in the world is exposed to revolutionary experiences. Gaps between the patient’s experiences and the situation can be bridged over when the NA acts as the patient’s bodily extension and links the patient as a subject to the world in the intraoperative situation. From the patient’s perspective this calls for the NA’s proximity and genuine presence in the ‘intraoperative caring space’. When the NA’s performance of his/her professional duties clashes with the patient’s existential being in the intraoperative situation the need of present presence from the NA is crucial. Conclusions: The findings contribute to knowledge development about intraoperative care and raise awareness that care for the awake patient cannot be performed on formal routines that might disregard the uniqueness of each patient’s situation. The model can be used as a tool to encounter awake patients’ existential needs in the intraoperative situation and to further enlighten NAs about the possible impact of their proximity, interaction and communication behavior in the delivery of intraoperative nursing care.

The purpose of this study is to, from a lifeworld perspective, explore high school students’ experience of meaning in music teaching in school. What experiences of meaning do the high school students describe and what role is the teacher described to have in these experiences? The survey is qualitative and based on semi-structured interviews with three high school students. Previous research shows that music, already in the antiquity, had a therapeutic purpose and acted as a healing force. It can also be an important and useful material when identity is created and expressed as a young adult. The Swedish school shall promote the development and learning of all students. The decisive factor for whether knowledge is retained or forgotten is the meaningfulness of a teaching environment. The teacher’s task is to enable the acquisition of knowledge and organize the work so that the student can use and develop their entire ability. The result presents the main theme of being in a “free space” and the structure is built up by the units development, community, creation and the teacher as a role model. The students in the present study experience music teaching as being in a free space where there is an opportunity to try new things without fear of failure. The students experience that through the teaching they develop both as musicians and in their identity. In collaboration with classmates during musical activities, a community is built that is important to the students. Meaning is also created when students are given space for their own creativity and when they receive support and encouragement from a teacher.

Abstract:

The thesis describes the phenomenon women’s health and illness experiences following a myocardial infarction (MI). The purpose of the thesis is to explore women’s experiences of their care and health processes, as well as their experiences of body, lifeworld and meaningful relationships related to the illness. A reflective lifeworld approach, based on phenomenological philosophy, is used. The thesis is comprised of four studies; three are based on interviews with a total of 26 women following an MI, followed by a fourth, theoretical, study. The first study explores women’s experiences of care and health processes following an MI, with a particular focus on well-being and participation (I). The findings show that an MI is an event that suddenly interrupts the ordinary life of the women. Participation is a sense of being involved in their own health and care processes, which may also encourage them to take responsibility for health promoting activities in a healthy and meaningful way. The second study explores women’s lifeworld experience of their bodies and lives following an MI (II). This study finds that an MI, as a major event in the women’s lives, influences and restricts their everyday activities over a long period of time. Following the illness, they live with an existential uncertainty about their life and the heart, and this feeling entails suffering for them. The third study explores the meaning of close relationships and sexuality to women’s health and well-being following an MI (III). The mmeaning of close relationships appears to be vitally intertwined with their long-term health process; both health processes and relationships are affected after an MI. The suffering following an MI can be compared to taking a fall, where meaningful close relationships can function as a safety net that catches the women in their fall. The fourth study is a concept development aimed at elucidating the meaning of the concepts uncertainty, control, secure and risk in relation to the thesis phenomenon and the findings of the empirical interview studies (IV). The existential uncertainty is an important matter in the women’s health processes. In these processes the concepts control, secure and risk play a central role. Women who have suffered an MI want to be as safe as possible in order to live well. The analysis illuminates a paradox, that the women’s ambition to achieve greater safety may lead them into an even greater experience of uncertainty. The conclusion is that women’s experiences of health and illness can be described as a journey characterized by existential uncertainty. The women’s lives go through different existential phases following an MI, which is a major event. They are not prepared for the reactions that this event causes and are in need of support and guidance to manage their illness experiences. If acknowledged and well met, the significance and meaning of the women’s reactions and experiences can give impetus and energy to their health processes.

Abstract:

Aim: To describe and interpret patients’, family members’ and ambulance personnel’s experiences with regard to survival, attendance, and caring at cardiac arrests and deaths, and to analyze ethical conflicts that arise in relation to families and how the personnel’s ethical competence can affect caring and the ability to handle ethical problems. Method: The three interview studies were guided by a reflective lifeworld approach grounded in phenomenology and analyzed by searching for the essence of the phenomenon in two studies and by attaining a main interpretation in one study. In the fourth study, the general approach was supplemented by “reflective equilibrium” that guided the ethical analysis. Results: The survivors are striving towards a good life by means of efforts to reach meaning and coherence, facing existential fear and insecurity as well as gratitude and the joy of life. Family members lose everyday control through feelings of unreality, inadequacy and overwhelming responsibility. Ambulance personnel’s care mediates hope and despair until the announcement of survival or death. After the event, family members risk involuntary loneliness and anxiety about the future. For the ambulance personnel, caring for families involves a need for mobility in decision making, forcing the personnel to balance their own perceptions, feelings and reactions against interpretative reasoning. To base decision making on emotional reactions creates the risk of erroneous conclusions and a care relationship with elements of dishonesty, misdirected benevolence and false hopes. Identification with family members can promote recognition of and response to their existential needs, but also frustrate meeting family members emotions’ and handling one’s own vulnerability and inadequacy. It was found that futile cardiopulmonary resuscitation, administered to patients for the benefit of family members, is not an acceptable moral practice, due both to norms of not deliberately treating persons as mere means and to norms of taking care of families. Conclusions: Ethical conflicts exist when it comes to conveying realistic hope, relief from guilt, participation, responsibility for decision making, and fairness in the professional role. Ambulance personnel need support to enhance ethical caring competence and to deal with personal discomfort, as well as clear guidelines on family support.

Abstract:

This thesis 'The Symphony of Care' consists of four studies focusing on care relationships between patients and professional caregivers. Care relationships are central to the health process and a fundamental element in caregiving. The term care relationship is widely used in caring science but lacks a clear definition, which can create misunderstanding and can constitute an obstacle when attempting to optimize care relationships. The aim of this thesis is to describe the phenomenon of care relationships in order to add to the body of knowledge in caring science.The main research questions are: • What is a care relationship within the caring science field? • How can a care relationship be optimized to improve its caring function, in order to promote health? The ontological foundation of this thesis is caring science. Phenomenology and Lifeworld theory are used as its epistemological bases. Reflective Lifeworld Research is used as a methodological approach. The four studies were conducted in different contexts and cultures- the first two empirical studies were performed in China and the remaining two, a metasynthesis and a secondary analysis, were carried out in a Swedish context. The results show that care relationships are temporary intentional relationships between a person who needs help and a helper. The purpose of this relationship is to support the patient in his/her dynamic health process, which is unique for each person in different times and contexts. Care relationships are fragile because the patient is vulnerable and the demand on the helper is great. It is an inter-human relationship between equals, which can at the same time be an asymmetric relationship due to the professionalism with the caregiver and the vulnerability with the patient. A care relationship is not independent, but is affected by internal factors such as the two individuals' lifeworlds and external factors such as health policies, organization, economics, health culture and environment. To optimize the effectiveness of caring, the relationship and its surrounding need to be in harmony. The view of care relationships should be broadened to include the external resources in order to optimize their caring potential.

Abstract:

Bakgrund: Äldre människor är en återkommande patientgrupp på akutmottagningen. Vid sjukdom har den äldre ofta nedsatt förmåga och är sårbar. Det finns då en risk att autonomin inte tillgodoses och att värdigheten kränks. Forskning i ämnet visar att det finns en stor kunskapsbrist där ny forskning skulle kunna bidra till att förebygga orättvis behandling av äldre som drabbas av akut sjukdom. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att beskriva förhållningssätt till den äldre patientens autonomi när denne vårdas på akutmottagningen utifrån sjuksköterskors levda erfarenheter. Metod: Studien genomfördes med en reflekterande livsvärldsansats grundat i den fenomenologiska kunskapsteorin. Fenomenet i studien är “hantera autonomi”. Data samlades via intervjuer från två akutmottagningar. Resultat: Essensen av fenomenet att hantera den äldre patientens autonomi på akutmottagning är att brista i kunskap om autonomi, brista i förmåga till kritiska reflektioner avseende etiska problem och brista i förståelse av hur patientdelaktighet kan främjas i en otillåtande vårdmiljö. Förhållningssätt som främjar den äldre patientens autonomi och delaktighet är sköra och hindras av den försvårande vårdmiljön vilket skapar känslor av otillräcklighet. Resultatet beskrivs med innebördstema: Att prioritera i en stressig vårdmiljö, Att sträva att bevara autonomin, Att bedriva övertalning för patientens bästa, Att i akuta situationer tvingas bortse från patientens autonomi, Att ta beslut utifrån egna värderingar, Att ta beslut utan tillgång till patientens samtycke, Att utesluta och kränka patienten. Slutsats: Utifrån studiens resultat dras slutsatsen att sjuksköterskor på akutmottagningen behöver kunskapsutveckling i ett etiskt förhållningssätt samt förutsättningar i vårdmiljön för att kunna utföra god och rättvis vård.
Background: Older people is a recurrent group of patients at the emergency department. The older patient often has impaired abilities during illness and is vulnerable. There is a risk that their autonomy isn’t satisfied and their dignity breached. Research shows that there is a gap in knowledge and new studies could contribute to prevent non equitable treatment of older people with acute illness. Aim: The aim of the study is to describe the approach to the autonomy of the older patient when cared for in the emergency department from the perspective of lived experience of nurses. Methods: The study was conducted with a reflective lifeworld approach based on a phenomenological knowledge theory. The phenomenon in this study is “handling of autonomy”. Data was collected through interviews from two emergency departments Findings: The essence of the phenomenon to deal with the older patients autonomy in the emergency department is lack of knowledge of autonomy, lack of ability of critical reflection regarding ethical problems and lack of understanding how patient participation can be encouraged in an non permissive care environment. Approaches that encourages the older patient’s autonomy and participation are fragile and are prevented by the aggrevating environment which creates feelings of inadequacy. The results are described by content themes: To prioritise in an stressful care environment, To strive to retain autonomy, To conduct persuasion for the patient’s best, To disregard patient autonomy due to emergent situations, To make decisions based on personal values, To make decisions without access to patient consent, To exclude and violate the patient. Conclusions: Based on the result of the study the conclusion is that nurses in the emergency department need knowledge development with an ethical approach as well as proper preconditions in the care environment to be able to perform good and equitable care.

Abstract:

Background: The elderly Chinese group is growing in Sweden but no studies about their experiences of being cared for were found. In order to meet the elderly Chinese need for care, it is necessary to understand their perspectives of being cared for. Aim: To describe the meaning of the experiences of being cared for by elderly Chinese immigrants in a Swedish context. Method: For this phenomenological study, open-end interviews were carried out with 7 informants originally from Mainland China and Hong Kong. Result and Conclusion: For the elderly Chinese in Sweden, ‘being cared for’ means being involved in a caring community, to have a mutual relationship with someone who can see and understand their needs. In such a relationship, they felt that they were included and respected. They were being treated as valuable with a genuine manner. They had a feeling of satisfaction, happiness, peacefulness, closeness, togetherness, and wholeness when ‘being cared for’. For these elderly Chinese immigrants, informal care was indispensable even when they were receiving formal care. They wished that their family could show concern and formal caregivers could understand and give space to the informal caregivers on caregiving.

Abstract:

In Sweden we have the highest rate of nontraditional students among Europe. Coincidently, we also have the highest rates of drop outs among OECD. In this particular field, drop out from higher education, there is a need fore more qualitative studies that can support the "statistics". Studies about experiences of drop outs are significant for society, university and individual. The aim of this study is to describe and understand how nontraditional student experiences drop out from higher education. What do they tell regarding their meeting with the university? How is the drop out visible before the decision to quit? How can the way forward to the drop out be described? What does the university mean for them? The theoretical point of departure is the concept lifeworld and the method is phenomenological hermeneutic with narrative interviews with 5 students. The result points out that the meeting with the university implies a meeting with other individuals, and also a "meeting" within the student himself, by inner questioning and reflection. The students’ relationship to the studies is characterized by the experience of understanding. The dropouts are visible through different events. The decision per se has increased over time and the students have also grown personally by the decision. To understand or not understand is crucial for the experience of learning. The drop out can also be seen as a transition and a turning point. The drop out is an effort and takes place without professional staff, therefore needs to be discussed in public.

Abstract:

This study investigates the experience of exchange studies from a phenomenological perspective. Phenomenology studies the sentence structure of the phenomenon and places the lifeworld as a central concept. Husserl (2002/1954) described the lifeworld as a coherent universe of objects where we, all of us living with another in this world, may be conscious of the world as a universal horizon. In this study the lifeworld of exchange students is investigated with emphasis on their experience of the exchange. The aim of the study is to highlight the sentence structure in the experience of living as an exchange student which involves a meeting with a different culture. Seven interviews were conducted with exchange students that participated in at least one semester of higher education abroad and the resulting data was analyzed using the EPP method. This method describes the general meaning structure of the phenomenon and identifies several distinguishing features. For this study ten features were identified; an expectation and openness relative an uncertain future, a deliberate break, a part of something bigger, a deliberate approach to cultural codes, an encounter with different values, new interactions and relations, language difficulties, a new environment, a creation of identity and a personal development and responsibilities. The results indicate that the experience of exchange studies may not always be unproblematic since it’s often difficult to gain access to the culture and society of the host country. However, the experience also seems to be rewarding and is characterized by a personal development and a change in the perception of both oneself and people from other cultures. The results also show that the exchange student may gain a feeling of living in a global society where all possibilities are present.
Denna studie utgår ifrån en fenomenologisk ansats. Fenomenologins uppgift är att beskriva ett fenomens meningsstruktur där ett centralt begrepp är livsvärlden. Enligt Husserl (2002/1954) belyser livsvärlden den verklighet som man ständigt befinner sig i tillsammans med andra människor. Grundvalen för denna studie är att studera utbytesstudenters livsvärld där upplevelsen av utbytesstudier är i fokus. Syftet med studien är att beskriva meningsstrukturer i upplevelsen av att leva som utbytesstudent och som inbegriper ett möte med en annan kultur. Sju intervjuer har genomförts med utbytesstudenter som alla studerat minst en termin inom högre utbildning vid ett värduniversitet i ett annat land. De aktuella data som behandlats har analyserats med hjälp av studiens valda metod, Empirical phenomenological psychologial (EPP-metoden). Resultatet beskriver det aktuella fenomenets meningsstruktur som en helhet och visar vilka de generella kännetecknen är. De generella kännetecknen som framkommit i studien är; en förväntan och en öppenhet inför en obestämd framtid, ett medvetet uppbrott, en del i att uppnå något större, ett medvetet förhållningssätt till kulturella koder, ett möte med andra värderingar, nya interaktioner och relationer, svårigheter med språket, ändrade livsvillkor, ett identitetsskapande, en personlig utveckling och ett ansvarstagande. Resultatet indikerar att upplevelsen av utbytesstudier och att möta en annan kultur inte är helt oproblematisk då det ibland är svårt att få tillträde till värdlandets kultur och samhälle. Dock verkar upplevelsen även vara en värdefull tid som präglas av en utveckling och ett ifrågasättande av tidigare föreställningar om en själv och människor från andra kulturer. Resultatet påvisar också att utbytesstudenten kan ha en känsla av att leva i en global värld där alla möjligheter finns.

Abstract:

Aim: To describe and develop understanding of the patient’s first encounter with the involved persons at the scene of an accident and at the emergency department; with a special focus on describing the meaning of emergency care of patients in these caring contexts. Method: The thesis uses a reflective lifeworld research (RLR) approach founded on phenomenological philosophy. The purpose with this approach is to describe the essential meaning and the variations of a phenomenon. Interviews with a lifeworld perspective were used for data collection and analyzed according to the RLR approach for searching for the essence of the phenomenon. The four essences in the studies (I-IV) establish a general structure for the phenomenon. Findings: Emergency care is characterized by an organisation, whose goal and resources are focused on life-saving, and that encounters a human being with needs of emergency care as well as existential support. The responsibility in emergency care means an intertwining of doing and being. The one who is in charge takes responsibility for performing or “doing” medical actions, and by “being” close and present in the situation the patient can at the same time feel an existential support. The responsibility for the injured or ill body is handed over to a chain of persons with more and more specialized competence and resources. This hand-over entails a relief for all involved but fails in one link in the chain, namely to explicitly hand back the responsibility to the patient. When the patient’s condition allows the distance to be larger the responsibility pales and the existential support decreases. A gap between doing and being arises where the patient is left to regain control and independence. The intertwining of doing and being, which appears as soon as the one in charge is close and present to the patient, facilitates the hand-over to the patient who in a natural way is able to receive the responsibility with possibilities to be able to conclude the encounter. Conclusions: A new understanding of emergency care appears which entails more than just life support measures. Emergency care includes different ways of communication in order to hand over the responsibility and complete the care chain back to the patient in a safe way. The results highlight the importance of empowering patients with a confirming, communicative contact throughout the whole caring process in order for them to retain their identity. There are also implications for educating students and personnel in inter-professional communication and work. In order to assist the intertwining between doing and being there are needs for the development of supportive structures for inter-professional reflection, which in turn would improve the interaction between patients and professionals in their encounter.

The purpose of this study is to describe some students' own experiences and involvement of remedial instruction during year seven to nine in compulsory school in Sweden. My hope is that the study may contribute in possible ways of supporting students in reading and writing difficulties. The study is qualitative with a life-world approach. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with four upper secondary school students. The study is retrospective and describes the students´ experiences and perceptions of remedial instruction. The result shows that all four students have their unique perspectives on reading and writing difficulties or dyslexia as a phenomenon. As individuals, they have positive experiences of support and individual teachers´ commitment. These students interviewed have in common an experience of struggling and fight to get their rights respected, and that this has consuming power and energy that otherwise could have been used in the learning process.
Syftet med denna studie är att beskriva några elevers egna upplevelser och deltagande av stödinsatser under svenska grundskolans årskurser sju till nio. Min förhoppning är att studien kan bidra med möjliga vägar att stödja elever i läs- och skrivsvårigheter. Undersökningen är kvalitativ med en livsvärldsansats. Data har samlats in genom halvstrukturerade intervjuer med fyra gymnasieelever. Studien är retroperspektiv och eleverna har sett tillbaka på sin grundskoletid och beskriver sina erfarenheter och upplevelser av det stöd de fick då. Resultatet visar att alla fyra eleverna har sitt unika perspektiv på läs- och skrivsvårigheter eller dyslexi som fenomen. Som individer har de positiva erfarenheter av stödinsatser och enskilda pedagogers engagemang. Gemensamt har eleverna en upplevelse av att ha fått kämpa för att få sina rättigheter tillgodosedda och att detta tagit kraft och energi som annars kunnat komma deras lärprocess till gagn.

Abstract:

The present study explores the reception of historical feature films in history education. It is concerned with how pupils experience the films as well as the significance of the feature film for their understanding and interpretation of history. The study incorporates empirical data from classroom projects in two different Swedish upper secondary schools where film was used as an educational tool. Observations of classroom activities were made and interviews with twelve pupils and their history teachers were conducted. The study applies a phenomenological approach. The lifeworld of the pupils is in focus, specifically the aspect of the lifeworld they live and experience in history class when film is used as a means of understanding the past. The phenomenon studied is thus how the pupils experience the film, and through the film, history itself. Theoretical notions from film reception studies and history didactics are used as analytic tools. The study shows how emotional and cognitive processes converge in the pupils’ meaning making of the films. The embodiment of the films’ narrative is an important factor that contributes to both the understanding of the film as well as of history. The pupils experience the films emotionally, feeling both empathy and antipathy for the various characters, physically through sight and sound as well as embodied reactions, and cognitively through an understanding of the film’s narrative. Embodied experience is fundamental for history to become materialized. The audiovisual portrayal and materialization of the past becomes embodied in the pupils so that the experience of the film and of the historical lifeworld presented therein becomes part of their lifeworld. Generally, pupils consider the films to be trustworthy, though this perceived accuracy depends on how authentically the narrative is performed and the pupils’ previous store of historical knowledge. A didactic dilemma to consider when using historical feature film in the classroom is the contradiction between the aesthetic experience of a feature film and its use as a tool for understanding the past. The captivating character of feature film evokes empathy and engagement with the films’ characters regardless of the degree of historical accuracy. This is a critical issue for teachers; there needs to be balance between respect for the pupils’ aesthetic experience of the film and the need to guide them to develop for example the skills of historical empathy, where distance is necessary for the pupils to be able to consider different perspectives.

Abstract:

Cette thèse porte sur la question de la communauté dans la phénoménologie husserlienne et posthusserlienne, en se concentrant autour du concept de « monde de la vie » (Lebenswelt) – notamment dans La crise des sciences européennes. A la croisée des étapes majeures du parcours husserlien dont nous dégageons les implications, nous interrogeons le monde de la vie à travers l'analyse phénoménologique des processus d'incorporation et d'incarnation. Nous démontrons que Husserl a d'emblée surmonté les impasses de ses successeurs en refusant l'opposition exclusive entre les champs d'immanence et de transcendance pour au contraire penser leurs entrelacements. A partir de la reprise de la critique radicale de l'objectivisme naturaliste, l'enjeu est d'approfondir les formes d'intrication entre sphère égologique et horizon-de-nous. Dès lors, nous désignons la praxis intersubjective comme la base des dynamiques de formation communautaire, que nous comprenons en tant que formes de vie
This thesis engages the question of community in husserlian and post-husserlian phenomenology, concentrating on the concept of the “lifeworld” (Lebenswelt), especially in The Crisis of European Sciences and Transcendental Phenomenology. At the crossroads between two major stages of Husserl’s development, of which we will reveal the implications, we question the lifeworld through the phenomenological analysis of the processes of incorporation and incarnation. We demonstrate that Husserl straightaway surmounted the impasses met by his successors, by refusing an exclusive opposition between the fields of immanence and transcendence in order to, on the contrary, propose their interlacing. Starting with resumption of the radical critique of naturalist objectivism, the stakes are to deepen the forms of intricacy between the ecological sphere and world-horizon. From there, we designate intersubjective praxis as the basis of the dynamics of community formation, which we understand in terms of forms of life

Abstract:

Detta är en studie som utforskar fritidspedagogers uppfattning om samtal med barn i deras verksamhet. Vår utgångspunkt var sokratiska och filosofiska samtal som vi stötte på under en kurs i ”barns existentiella frågor”. Vi blev då nyfikna över hur detta såg ut i verkligheten, om det fanns överhuvudtaget. Vi använder oss av ett fenomenologiskt perspektiv kombinerat med kunskapsbegrepp från Aristoteles för att få goda verktyg i en analys utifrån kvalitativa intervjuer. Vi använder även Skolinspektionens kvalitetsgranskning av fritidshemmen från 2010 för att få ett bollplank att jämföra de mönster vi hittat och de mönster de identifierat. I arbetet kom vi fram till att pedagoger ofta strävar efter mål som de inte alltid kan uppnå av olika orsaker samt att de i samtal med elever vill ha det resultat som ett Sokratiskt eller filosofiska samtal har möjlighet att bidra till. Dock upptäckte vi att man genom samtal försöker lära elever praktisk klokhet men med samma metoder man använder för att lära ut teoretisk kunskap.
In this study, we will be exploring the extended school teacher’s perception of dialogue with children in their work environment. The starting point for this study happened when we encountered Philosophical and Socratic dialogues as a didactic tool in our course “the child's existential questions”. This sparked our interest, trying to figure out how these would look like in the real world, if they were present at all. This study is using a phenomenological perspective, combined with Aristotle's theory of knowledge with the purpose of giving us the tools required for analyzing our qualitative interviews. We will also be using a report from Skolinspektionen regarding the quality of extended school teacher’s work environment from 2010 with the purpose of comparing the results we find in our study against the results they identified. The results of this study concluded that pedagogues often strive for goals that may be difficult to reach, for a couple of different reasons. Also in their dialogues with children they strive for results that philosophical and Socratic dialogues can contribute to. We also learned that the extended school teachers try to teach practical wisdom but with the tools of teaching theoretical knowledge.

Abstract:

When students learn caring during clinical practice, the usual point of departure is thatcaring and learning coexist, as separate and parallel phenomena. There is, however, a needto study how caring and learning relate to one another, as well as when and how theyconverge. The aim of this dissertation is to describe how caring and learning converge inthe encounters between students and patients, in a dedicated educational unit withinpsychiatric care, as experienced by students, patients, and supervisors. Describing howsupervisory support can facilitate this is another aim. A reflective lifeworld approach basedon phenomenological philosophy has been applied. Data were collected through interviews,participant observations with follow-up interviews, and narrative diaries.The result shows that caring and learning converge in those encounters between studentsand patients which are characterized by reciprocity, wherein the patient’s narrative is thepoint of departure, complemented by the student’s listening and inquiring attitude. It ishere, that the desire for and pursuit of health and understanding, give the reciprocalinteraction power. The common desire of those involved to know, to become accustomedto the new and unfamiliar, as well as the presence of a feeling of responsibility for oneanother, create questions which in turn create opportunities wherein students and patientsare available to one another.The dissertation shows that learning in a caring context can be complex. Despite theirbeing prerequisites for one another, competition and conflicts can occur when the caringand learning perspectives are not equally attended to. When they are placed counter to oneanother, there is a risk that reciprocal interaction is hindered, which can cause loneliness forall involved. For convergence to occur most propitiously, those involved must exist in acaring and learning togetherness. Responsible and present supervisors are needed, whocreate possibilities for the perspectives to converge through maintenance and monitoring, sothat caring and learning receive equal space.A didactic concept has been developed based on the dissertation’s result, focusing on themeaning of creating forums where students’, patients’, and supervisors’ caringconsiderations and reflections can intertwine.

Tese de Doutoramento apresentada ao ISPA - Instituto Universitário
Gynecological cancer is linked with special adaptation needs, although there is a scarcity of research on women’s experience of cancer survival, particularly in relation to qualitative research that focuses on the meaning of such an experience. The numbers of women surviving gynecological cancer are increasing, which means research on survivorship is crucial. While this concept is integrated in modern oncology literature, we found no consensus about its definition. Some authors emphasized a biomedical approach, using objective data, like the number of surviving years. Others included other perspectives related to individual characteristics and disease trajectory The purpose of the thesis was to illuminate and understand the lifeworlds of women with gynecological cancer using a hermeneutic existential phenomenological approach to research. A purposive sample of Portuguese women was recruited, and semi-structured phenomenological interviews were conducted to enable personal disclosure and expressions of the women’s lived experiences. Data took place over a period of eight months and the participants were interviewed in-depth three times. The interviews were tape-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Analysis of the interview transcripts was conducted according to Ricoeur's theory of interpretation. Emergent themes were structured around van Manen’s (1997) schema for existential reflection, which considers the relationship between phenomena and four universal themes: lived-body, lived-other, lived-time and lived-space. Ten participants, who defined themselves as survivors of cancer, reported stories of positive and negative change complete with doubts and fears, as well as renewed relationships and altered priorities. As part of their survivorship lived experience, most of the women underwent a quiet deconstruction and reconstruction process to arrive at a restored sense of who they are. A rich description of the lived experience of cancer survival is described as the stunning transformation of a caterpillar to a butterfly. This study presents those attributes that are valued by cancer survivors as crucial and important for the support of their well-being and functioning. The outcomes of the study suggest implications for health professionals in promoting existential care to the women by listening and taking into account their concerns.
RESUMO: O cancro ginecológico surge associado a necessidades adaptativas peculiares, todavia é manifesta a escassez de estudos sobre a experiência das mulheres sobreviventes de cancro, particularmente em relação ao uso do paradigma qualitativo que incida sobre o significado desta experiência. O número de mulheres sobreviventes de cancro ginecológico tem vindo a aumentar, o que significa que a investigação sobre a sobrevivência é determinante. Apesar disso e do conceito ter entrado na literatura referente à oncologia, não há consenso sobre a sua definição. A natureza do conceito, ora assenta numa óptica mais biomédica, partindo de dados objetivos como os anos de sobrevida, ora noutras perspetivas relacionadas com as idiossincrasias individuais e a trajetória da doença. O objetivo desta tese foi desocultar e compreender os mundos-vida das mulheres com cancro ginecológico utilizando uma abordagem fenomenológica, existencial e hermenêutica. Para o efeito, foi recrutada uma amostra intencional composta por mulheres portuguesas e realizadas entrevistas fenomenológicas semi-estruturadas de forma a facilitar o acesso aos sentimentos, sentidos e significados atribuídos às suas experiências. A colheita de dados ocorreu durante um período de oito meses e as participantes foram entrevistadas em profundidade três vezes. A análise das transcrições das entrevistas foi realizada de acordo com a teoria da interpretação de Ricoeur. Os temas emergentes foram estruturados em torno do esquema de reflexão existencial proposto por van Manen (1997), o qual considera a relação do fenómeno [sobrevivência ao cancro] e quatro temas universais: - corpo vivido, relações vividas, tempo vivido e espaço vivido. Dez participantes, que se auto-definiram como sobreviventes de cancro, revelaram histórias de mudança positiva e/ou negativa ainda que pautadas por incertezas e receios, assim como pela criação de novas relações e a redefinição das suas prioridades. Como parte integrante da experiência vivida de sobrevivência a maioria das mulheres passa por um processo de desconstrução e reconstrução da identidade, restaurando o seu sentido de ser-no-mundo. Este processo é descrito de forma metafórica através da metamorfose vivida pela larva, até se transformar em mariposa. Este estudo apresenta os atributos que são valorizados pelas sobreviventes como cruciais e importantes para o apoio do seu bem-estar e atividade. Os resultados do estudo sugerem implicações para os profissionais de saúde na promoção do cuidado existencial para as mulheres, ouvindo e tendo em conta as suas preocupações.

Abstract:

Die Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit den Phänomenen Zeit und Lebenswelt. Ausgehend von einer phänomenologischen Analyse des Lebensweltbegriffs in den Arbeiten von Husserl und Blumenberg wird die Zeit als externer Störfaktor erkannt, der die Lebenswelt im Sinne eines ereignislosen stautus quo zerstört und den Menschen überhaupt erst den Zutritt ins Leben verschafft. Anhand der Analysen Husserls zum Inneren Zeitbewusstsein soll der je eigene zeitliche Charakter jedes Daseins herausgearbeitet werden um schließlich im Hauptteil sich dem Zeitverständnis von Hans Blumenberg zu widmen. Er sieht in der Divergenz von Lebenszeit und Weltzeit das Hauptärgernis des menschlichen Daseins, gegen welches wir anrennen und ihm doch nicht entkommen können. Oder anders formuliert: die Welt hat immer mehr Zeit, als der einzelne Mensch, ein Fertigwerden ist nicht vorgesehen. Wir teilen unsere Zeit mit Anderen, anhand dieser Fremderfahrung können wir letztlich überhaupt Wissen von der und Orientierung in der Welt erlangen. Die Arbeit zeigt auch anhand der von Blumenberg als 'memoria' benannten Form der Erinnerung Wege, wie mit der Absolutheit der Zeit umzugehen ist, auch und gerade im Alter.

Abstract:

This phenomenological study contributes to scholarship on the geographies of higher education by examining the importance of “place” for the design and planning of college campuses. In particular, the study explores the lifeworlds of two community college campuses in British Columbia, Canada, comparing the “sense of place” at an urban campus in the lower mainland of British Columbia with a rural campus on Vancouver Island. In contrast to conventional treatments of the campus as absolute space, this dissertation considers how higher education campuses serve as places of meaning to those who use them. Using a combination of natural walk-along interviews and mental mapping methods with 23 participants, the findings from this study support Seamon’s (2013) contention that places – in this case, college campuses – are interanimations of people and their physical environments where meanings and a sense of place are created through the practices of daily routines. Participant responses also suggest that a sense of belonging to community, with its concomitant academic benefits, is advanced by encouraging a feeling of “at-homeness” on campus. These findings put into question the reliance of conventional campus design and planning approaches on the visual impact of the built environment to create a sense of place. Instead, building from Gehl (2011), they highlight how design and planning efforts that support the gathering of people and their routine use of campus spaces can foster the “place-ballets” that make vibrant and distinctive places. In generating spontaneous interpersonal encounters, place-ballet also sets the conditions understood to support the creation of new knowledge. To advance the notion of place-ballet, the study concludes by offering the neighbourhood as a model for campus design and planning that both connects home to community and encourages citizen engagement.
