The question guiding the study was: What is the meaning of care for patients in the intensive care unit? Using a phenomenological approach, six participants described their experiences of the phenomenon of care. The eight essential themes that emerged from the analysis of the descriptions of care for the patients in ICU are: (1) Being connected; (2) Feeling watched over; (3) Feeling the presence; (4) Feeling commitment; (5) Receiving Compassion; (6) Feeling valued as a person; (7) Receiving comfort; and (8) Experiencing Competence.

Through the analysis of eight stories two themes on the "notion" of prayer and a primary theme on the influence of prayer on the well-being of the older adult emerged. The themes of prayer that emerged were: prayer was a conversation with God and an intimate relationship with God that fostered trust and belief. The primary theme was that a relationship with God through prayer fosters a sense of well-being.

Show moreThe purpose of this phenomenological study was to describe and interpret the meaning of intuition in nursing practice. Interviews with six nurses were audiotaped and transcribed into text. Initial and essential themes emerged through thematic analysis. Initial themes were variables dealing with the manifestation, interpretation or application of intuition. Essential themes reflected an awareness, sensation, understanding or feeling of a particular nature to be comprehended, known, or perceived in connection with reflection upon the experience of intuition. The unity of meaning was described using the words of the participants and two metaphors: a figure of a human being, DNA, and galaxies which represented the potential and sense of wonder felt from the participants; and electricity which is used as a tool and is valued though its action is not fully understood. Through intuition nurses experience "being with" patients and see each one as a whole, unique person.
