Kaufman argued for the need to implement a phenomenological approach to explore the boundaries of authority and responsibility associated with modern Western medicine. Twenty-two years later, survivors of stroke and their families continue to experience a poor quality of life (QOL) due to unmet health care expectations. Therefore, the need to establish a phenomenological approach to examine the issues impacting the QOL of survivors of stroke is as important as ever. This article will examine 3 issues germane to the QOL of survivors of stroke that can be addressed through phenomenological methodology: (1) comprehensive-holistic treatment; (2) active, problem-based coping strategies; and (3) education for the general public and health care personnel. Existential responses from survivors of stroke and recent findings from narrative-based research will help to highlight these important issues.
考夫曼认为，有必要采用现象学方法来探索与现代西方医学相关的权力和责任界限。22 年后，中风幸存者及其家属仍因医疗期望未得到满足而经历着较差的生活质量（QOL）。因此，建立一种现象学方法来研究影响中风幸存者生活质量的问题仍然至关重要。本文将探讨与中风幸存者生活质量相关的 3 个问题，这些问题可以通过现象学方法来解决：（1）全面整体的治疗；（2）积极的、基于问题的应对策略；（3）公众和医疗保健人员的教育。中风幸存者的存在主义反应以及基于叙事的研究的最新发现将有助于突出这些重要问题。
