Kaufman's ground-breaking work in the 1980s introduced the phenomenology of disability. In my commentary, I describe phenomenology as a philosophy of understanding the world around us and as a methodology for understanding the lived experiences of patients with life-changing disabilities. Like Kaufman, my focus for the use of phenomenology in health care is to capture the existential and transformative experience of illness. As such, I agree with Kaufman that phenomenology can help health care professionals expand their understanding of patient experiences to provide a fuller and richer, holistic response to care.
考夫曼在 20 世纪 80 年代的开创性工作引入了残疾现象学。在我的评论中，我将现象学描述为一种理解我们周围世界的哲学，也是一种理解改变生活的残疾患者生活体验的方法。与考夫曼一样，我关注现象学在医疗保健中的应用，是为了捕捉疾病的存在和变革性体验。因此，我同意考夫曼的观点，即现象学可以帮助医疗保健专业人员扩大对患者体验的理解，从而对护理做出更全面、更丰富、更整体的回应。
