The aim of this article is to demonstrate the usefulness of qualitative research for studying the ethics of care, bringing to light the lived experience of health care recipients, together with the importance of methods that allow reconstruction of the processes underlying this lived experience. Lived experiences of families being approached for organ donation, parents facing the imminent death of their child and patients being treated using stem cell transplantation are used to illustrate how ethical principles are differentiated, modified or contradicted by the narrative context of persons concerned. The integration of empirical data into ethics will help caregivers in their ethical decision making and may enrich care ethics as a narrative and interpretative field.
本文旨在展示质性研究在研究关怀伦理方面的有用性，揭示医疗服务接受者的生活体验，以及能够重建这种生活体验背后过程的方法的重要性。本文使用了一些案例来说明伦理原则是如何通过相关人员的叙述背景而被区分、修改或违背的，这些案例包括：被征求器官捐献意见的家庭、面临孩子即将死亡的父母以及接受干细胞移植治疗的患者。将实证数据纳入伦理学将有助于护理人员做出伦理决策，并丰富作为叙述和解释领域的关怀伦理学。
