Elucidating the meaning of life world phenomena. A phenomenological hermeneutical method for researching lived experience

Summary: The paper introduces a phenomenological hermeneutical method for interpreting narrative texts, where interviewees share their lived experiences of participating in life world phenomena. Inspired by Paul Ricoeur's theory of interpretation, the method involves three steps: first, naive reading, structural analysis, and comprehensive understanding. The paper elaborates on the theory behind the method, clarifying basic concepts and explaining its historical background, ontology, epistemology, and methodology.

Contemporary perspectives in COPD: Patient burden, the role of gender and trajectories of multimorbidity

Sara C. Buttery et al.

Summary: The experience of COPD is influenced by multiple factors, with comorbidity being common and the disease burden shifting towards women. Environmental factors like smoking and occupational exposures play a role, and there is a need for more research on gender-based predictors of treatment efficacy. Early life risk factors affect COPD trajectories, and better understanding of disease patterns in women is crucial for comprehensive care.

Mirror of shame: Patients experiences of late-stage COPD. A qualitative study

Heidi Jerpseth et al.

Summary: This study explores the experiences of shame in patients with late-stage COPD, finding that they often feel shame, guilt, and self-blame due to their own perceptions of themselves.

Pathology as a phenomenological tool

Havi Carel

Summary: The phenomenological method has been used to study illness experiences, but illness and pathology can themselves be developed into a phenomenological method. Studying cases of pathology can illuminate not only those experiences, but also normal function and its underlying background. The study of embodiment can be greatly enhanced by considering bodily breakdown and doubt as well.
