This paper discusses the basis for and potential usefulness of autoethnography as a research method in nursing.
While qualitative research in nursing has traditionally involved the researcher taking an objective stance, autoethnography, with roots in the social sciences, is an emerging method that examines the researcher's own experience in a cultural context.
Discussion paper.
Data sources from 1979-2013 in the CINAHL, Medline and PsycInfo databases were drawn on including articles from nursing and social science journals on autoethnography and related narrative-based approaches.
Autoethnography is based on the assumption that reality is multifaceted and the role of culture and context is crucial in understanding human experience. The reader is engaged through the evocation of emotion and the stimulation of reflection.
While autoethnography has thus far been little used in the discipline of nursing, it is a methodology that offers novel insights and an opportunity to examine the impact of nurses' personal and professional cultural identity on their practice.
Through the use of a subjective lens, autoethnography gives nurses the opportunity to tell stories that would otherwise not be heard. It involves a courageous laying bare of the self to gain new cultural understandings and it offers the potential for nurses to learn from the experiences and reflections of other nurses.
本文探讨了自我民族志作为护理研究方法的依据及其潜在用途。
虽然护理领域的定性研究传统上要求研究者采取客观立场，但源于社会科学的自我民族志是一种新兴方法，它在文化背景下审视研究者自身的经历。
讨论文件。
借鉴了1979年至2013年CINAHL、Medline和PsycInfo数据库中的数据来源，包括护理和社会科学期刊上关于自我民族志及相关基于叙事方法的文章。
自我民族志基于这样一种假设，即现实是多面的，文化和背景在理解人类经历中起着至关重要的作用。通过唤起情感和激发反思来吸引读者。
虽然自我民族志迄今为止在护理学科中很少被使用，但它是一种能提供新颖见解并为审视护士个人和职业文化身份对其实践的影响提供机会的方法。
通过使用主观视角，自我民族志使护士有机会讲述那些原本不会被听到的故事。它需要勇敢地展现自我以获得新的文化理解，并且为护士从其他护士的经历和反思中学习提供了可能性。
