From hopeless to a miracle: The lived experience of rehabilitation.
Creator
Towers, Patricia M., Florida Atlantic University, Locsin, Rozzano
Abstract/Description
This study used the Colaizzi phenomenological, descriptive method to uncover what it was like for patients to be in a rehabilitation program. Ten rehabilitation patients were interviewed. They were asked, "What is it like for you to be in rehabilitation?" Significant statements were extracted from which meanings were formulated. Clusters of themes were developed from the meanings. Four themes were identified: dependence versus independence, rehabilitation is a miracle, rehabilitation is a...
Show moreThis study used the Colaizzi phenomenological, descriptive method to uncover what it was like for patients to be in a rehabilitation program. Ten rehabilitation patients were interviewed. They were asked, "What is it like for you to be in rehabilitation?" Significant statements were extracted from which meanings were formulated. Clusters of themes were developed from the meanings. Four themes were identified: dependence versus independence, rehabilitation is a miracle, rehabilitation is a struggle, and trust and trusting that working the plan will pay off. These themes are related to other care concepts in nursing and the other literature and film. Understanding what it is like for patients in a physical rehabilitation program will assist nurses to plan care to meet the patients' needs, will provide personal glimpses of patients' view of care for nursing, and will help nurses to further explore the world of the patients.

The lived experience of listening to music while recovering from surgery.
Creator
McCaffrey, Ruth G., Florida Atlantic University, Locsin, Rozzano, Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing
Abstract/Description
This study provides a phenomenological analysis of living the experience of listening to music while recovering from surgery. The qualitative method used was that of Van Manen, as adapted by Munhall and outlined by Madayag. Specifically, this study describes three themes that emerged from transcribed interviews from eight participants who listened to music during recovery: (1) "comfort" from a discomforting condition which reveals the existential lived world of temporality; (2) "familiarity"...

Specifically, this study describes three themes that emerged from transcribed interviews from eight participants who listened to music during recovery: (1) "comfort" from a discomforting condition which reveals the existential lived world of temporality; (2) "familiarity" in a strange environment, revealing the lived world of spaciality, and (3) "distraction" from fear, pain and anxiety, as the lived world of corporeality. In addition, implications for nursing research, practice, and education are discussed.

Clarity-Parity Community Nursing Practice framework: A critical ethnonursing study of women in recovery from chemical dependence and their return to the community

The Clarity-Parity Community Nursing Practice framework: A critical ethnonursing study of women in recovery from chemical dependence and their return to the community.
Creator
Lange, Bernadette M., Florida Atlantic University, Ray, Marilyn A.
Abstract/Description
Women in recovery from chemical dependence represent a unique culture that should be viewed through a transcultural lens in order to facilitate and sustain their recovery in the dominant culture community. The purpose of this research was to explore the perceptions and experiences of women in recovery from chemical dependence and their return to the community. Leininger's ethnonursing method was used to obtain a holistic transcultural view of the beliefs, values and lifeways of twelve women...
Show moreWomen in recovery from chemical dependence represent a unique culture that should be viewed through a transcultural lens in order to facilitate and sustain their recovery in the dominant culture community. The purpose of this research was to explore the perceptions and experiences of women in recovery from chemical dependence and their return to the community. Leininger's ethnonursing method was used to obtain a holistic transcultural view of the beliefs, values and lifeways of twelve women in recovery. A communal moral focus was used to understand patterns of meaning, values, virtues and principles using Ray's Transcultural Nursing Ethics. Critical Social Theory was used as an overarching framework to critically analyze the lifeworld (community life of women in recovery) and the system (sociopolitical structures) to enhance the community nurse's knowledge about the needs of women to facilitate their return to community. Four themes included the following: understanding the lifeworld of chemical dependence was a symbol for facilitating the recovery process, restoring a sense of well being contributed to the meaning of a successful recovery, resituating in the community was demonstrated by actions of recreating new lifeways, and sustaining recovery by relying on the community as a source for supporting new lifeways. A critical analysis of the themes revealed paradoxical experiences of women in the dominant culture community. A synthesis of the findings from the lifeworld and analysis of the themes resulted in the co-creation of The Clarity-Parity Community Nursing Practice Framework. The framework demonstrates how the moral caring actions of the community nurse and the mutual moral caring actions of the community nurse, women in recovery and dominant culture community can result in increasing the clarity of transcultural communication and encouraging a position of parity for women in recovery within the dominant culture community.

Show moreThis dissertation reviews the multifaceted dimensions of male nurses in recovery from chemical dependency in the State of Florida's Intervention Project for Nurses Rehabilitation Program. These dimensions are not linear and fluctuation of the degree of intensity is individualized to the lived experience of the nurse. The purpose of this qualitative, phenomenological research study was to understand the lived experience of male nurses who have successfully completed the rehabilitation phase and to determine themes that influenced their vulnerability to professional impairment. The study identified two overarching themes of person and profession. The major theme of person had three sub-themes of pre-determined risk, altered values, and sensation seeking behaviors. The major theme of profession had five sub-themes of masterminding, professional heteronomy, rehabilitation, getting caught, spirituality, and the nurse becoming the nursed. A model of professional impairment graphically depicts the interaction of these themes. Exploring the lived experiences of male nurses who have successfully rehabilitated from chemical dependency provided understanding and identification that can assist academic and clinical environments with prevention, education, and early intervention.
