Abstract:
In this study we explored the researcher as an instrument in phenomenological research.To contribute to the discussion on phenomenological research methods for use in fieldwork, we explored Ton Beekman's participant experience (1986) as a way of enhancing the rigor and quality of data construction in phenomenological fieldwork. Beekman's approach is characterized by dialogue, bodily presence, being there, time and space dimensions, social and personal meaning, and interpretations that are close to life. An example from fieldwork in palliative cancer care is presented, in which we used reflective analysis to discern the cocreating aspect of participant experience. We recommend further investigation of cocreating participant experience as part of phenomenological fieldwork.
