“…It also involves a creative aspect whereby those most intimately involved in the issue make recommendations for action toward a better future. Flaming [22], Hikari [23], Charelambous [24], Charelambous et al [25], and Thompson [26] make the case for the role of critical hermeneutic research in nursing research and practice.…”

“…The authors review the work of Paul Ricoeur and discuss how it relates to nursing practice and nursing research. In particular, they describe hermeneutics as appropriate for the holistic nursing community because the theory of interpretation avoids the Cartesian subject/object split and therefore makes it useful for the researcher seeking to explicate intersubjective knowledge [25]. Since nursing presence is by nature intersubjective, this approach is an appropriate way to elucidate the phenomena.…”

Nursing presence, although it involves action at times, is a humanitarian quality of relating to a patient that is known to have powerful and positive implications for both nurse and patient. However, this phenomenon has not been well understood. Three theories, drawn from the work of Paul Ricoeur and Hans-Georg Gadamer, served as the boundaries for both data collection and analysis. The theories were narrative identity, play and solicitude. This study follows a critical hermeneutic approach to field research and data analysis. Literature regarding nursing presence is reviewed and discussed, and in-depth conversations with eleven participants are recorded. Examining the phenomenon of nursing presence through the hermeneutic lenses of narrative identity, play and solicitude has elucidated the role of ethical orientation, creativity and connection with the human experience through exploration of self and other. This more nuanced and complex understanding adds depth to the conversation and offers new possibilities to the effort to encourage and support presence in nursing practice.

“…Hermeneutic phenomenology allows for close examination and illumination of experience through interpretation of meaning in participants' narratives (Newman, Cashin, & Waters, 2010). In their review of Paul Ricoeur's work as it pertains to hermeneutic phenomenology, Charalambous, Papadopoulos and Beadsmore (2008) rejected the idea of researchers as objective, passive recipients of knowledge. Rather, knowledge or meaning is constructed at the intersection of the participants' narratives and the researcher's own prior knowledge and setting.…”

“…Thus, hermeneutic phenomenology allows for close examination of a participant's lived experience (Newman, Cashin, & Waters, 2010). Both participants and researcher experience a phenomenon through a lens that reflects personal culture, history, socialization, and religion, rather than being passive recipients of knowledge, they co-construct knowledge through dialogue with the research participants (Charalambous, Papadopoulos & Beadsmore, 2008). The participants and researchers co-construct the data through discourse.…”

The development of a community environment and strong mentoring relationships is integral in helping doctoral students complete their degrees. Of the stages comprising a student's academic career, effective conceptualization and writing of the dissertation proves the most challenging and may result in failure to complete a doctoral degree. The researchers developed and used their Research Mentoring Model (RMM) to help doctoral students identify research topics, move into a researcher identity, and develop a sense community. This hermeneutic phenomenological sought to understand the experience of the five first year doctoral students participants. All were enrolled in a CACREP accredited Counselor Education and Supervision program of a western university. Each student was the Focus Person during participated in a structured, 90-minute mentoring to explore the possible directions of dissertation research. The sessions were attended by faculty and advanced doctoral students who provide feedback and discuss possible research. The five first year students were then interviewed about their experiences with the RMM. The themes that emerged from the individual interviews included: experiencing a sense of community, developing a researcher identity, increasing confidence, self-efficacy and motivation, as well as finding support from peers and faculty. The Article concludes with limitations, reflections and directions for future research. Earning a doctoral degree is a complex process that involves the crossing of several thresholds leading to successful graduation (Kiley, 2010; McAlpine & Lucas, 2011;Protivnak & Foss, 2009). Across disciplines, the doctoral dissertation is historically the final requirement between a doctoral candidate and the completion of a doctoral degree (Aitchison, Catterall, Ross, & Burgin, 2011;Pillay & Kritzinger, 2007). Of the stages that comprise a student's academic career, the dissertation process often prove the most challenging and may result in degree noncompletion (Carter, 2011;Gardner, 2010;Kiley & Wisker, 2009) Despite the tolerable completion rates in Counselor Education, there remain serious consequences for institutions and their students who do not graduate. Energy, time, and financial resources seem wasted for students who discontinue their academic path. What can be done?Building a community of faculty and doctoral student researchers may minimize the attrition rate, support doctoral students to move into a research identity, and enhance motivation toward graduation (Griffiths, Thompson, & Hryniewicz, 2010). Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate the creation of a research community and collateral activities meant to support doctoral students through the dissertation process.For the current research study, the community of researchers is defined as a group of university faculty, especially dissertation advisors, and doctoral students at various stages in their doctoral work. Community members provide support and feedback, as well as ensure accountability, whi...
