...We highlight two approaches to phenomenology in this discussion: hermeneutic phenomenology (van Manen, 1990) and empirical, transcendental, or psychological phenomenology (Moustakas, 1994). van Manen (1990) is widely cited in the health literature (Morse & Field, 1995). The educator van Manen wrote an instructive book on hermeneutical phenomenology in which he described research as oriented to lived experience (phenomenology) and as interpreting the “texts” of life (hermeneutic; p. 4). Although van Manen does not believe that his approach is a set of rules or methods for conducting research, he discusses a phenomenological research study as a dynamic interplay among six research activities. Researchers first turn to a phenomenon, an “abiding concern” (p. 31), which seriously interests them (e.g., reading, running, driving, mothering). In the process, they reflect on essential themes— what constitutes the nature of this lived experience. They write a description of the phenomenon, maintaining a strong relation to the topic of inquiry and balancing the parts of the writing to the whole. Phenomenology is not only a description but also an interpretive process in which the researcher makes an interpretation (i.e., the researcher “mediates” between different meanings; van Manen, 1990, p. 26) of the meaning of the lived experiences. Moustakas’s (1994) transcendental or psychological phenomenology...

...The researcher concludes the explicitation by writing a composite summary, which must reflect the context or „horizon‟ from which the themes emerged (Hycner, 1999; Moustakas, 1994)....

...Clusters of themes are typically formed by grouping units of meaning together (Creswell, 1998; King, 1994; Moustakas, 1994) and the researcher identifies significant topics, also called units of significance (Sadala & Adorno, 2001)....
