“…Researchers argue for the strengths of “walk-along” interviews, especially for research studies that will examine the importance of the environment in relation to health and well-being (Carpiano, 2009 ; Flick et al, 2019 ; King & Woodroffe, 2019 ; Kusenbach, 2006 ; Stiegler, 2020 ). Using “walk-along” interviews in this study (Carpiano, 2009 ; Flick et al, 2019 ; King & Woodroffe, 2019 ; Kusenbach, 2006 ; Stiegler, 2020 ) harmonized with the hermeneutic-phenomenological approach in which the participants’ immediate moments within the hospital environment, together with their reflections of the significance of aesthetic allowed us in coming to understand and explore parts of participants lifeworld (Van Manen, 2016 ). Thus, by exposing participants to the immediate, complex and subtle meaning of the aesthetic environment, the “walk-along” interviews addressed rich, nuanced and phenomenological sensitivity to the research question (Carpiano, 2009 ; Van Manen, 2017 ).…”
