The ecomap: a tool for extending understanding in hermeneutic phenomenological research.
Background: Ecomaps are tools used in nursing practice to assess families' social support systems. Ecomaps have been used effectively in qualitative research but little attention has been given to their use as a tool in the methodological approach of hermeneutic phenomenology.
Aim: To demonstrate that the use of ecomaps is congruent with the Heideggerian philosophical foundations of hermeneutic phenomenology.
Discussion: This article reflects on a study in which the researchers used ecomaps to explore how parents of children with cancer are supported with decision-making about their children's care. Exploration of the Heideggerian concepts of 'being in the world', 'being with' and 'temporality' prompted reflections about how constructing ecomaps furthers understanding of participants' unique contexts. Using an ecomap in an in-depth interview enabled interviewees to return to their experiences of being supported with decision-making; it also further developed the researcher's understanding of how each participant's experience was situated in their evolving relationships with others.
Conclusion: Constructing ecomaps in hermeneutic phenomenology is in tune with Heideggerian philosophical concepts. Ecomaps can open a door to participants' experiences, deepen the researcher's understanding and find further meaning in those experiences.
Implications for practice: Ecomaps are a useful way of shining a light on participants' experiences in hermeneutic phenomenological research. The article provides practical tips to optimise their use in future research.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
