ABSTRACT

Through their daily work and research, nurses have created a body of information known as nursing knowledge, which has always been based on a quantitative approach. However, the quantitative approach is not enough to thoroughly understand the nursing discipline, since knowledge about nursing also depends on an understanding of human nature and its response to the environment, which is difficult to achieve from a merely quantitative perspective. In the context of nursing, doubt has arisen whether quantitative research is the only path to knowledge, thus rescuing the human dimension of science. Qualitative research emerged in the 1980s as a method to inform nursing science. It is in this context that phenomenology came into being as a philosophy and research method allowing to study and understand the events experienced by people. A question arose: Is phenomenology a method required to create disciplinary knowledge in nursing? It was finally concluded that phenomenology is a type of research that offers an opportunity to develop the discipline by deeply approaching the phenomenon under study, i.e., the care of human beings. Such knowledge will make it possible to provide comprehensive care focused upon the specific needs of each person.
