| Summary: | The purpose of this nursing research study was to gain a deeper understanding of the experience of families receiving nursing care in the home. The question guiding the study was: What is the meaning (for families) of the experience of receiving nursing care in the home? Using van Manen's phenomenological approach, six families described their experience of receiving nursing care in their homes during taped conversational interviews. Following hermeneutical thematic analysis of the transcribed texts, one common metatheme emerged: Home Nursing Care Experienced within the Gestalt of Home Health Care. Four associated sub-themes emerged: (1) Being in Relationship with the Nurse; (2) Feeling Decreased Stress/Increased Comfort; (3) Having the Nurse as Family Advocate/Mediator; and (4) Finding the Way Through Chaos to Control. | |
