In this discussion, the author has described a technique used in a pilot study where the research aim was to enhance understanding of nurses and their experiences--an understanding achieved from attention to nurses' expressions in poetry. There is a growing interest in qualitative approaches to the study of nursing phenomena and the development of nursing theory (Simms, 1981; Munhall, 1982; Oiler, 1982; Omery, 1983; Swanson and Chenitz, 1982). In fact, many of the techniques and strategies used by helping professionals to know their clients can be adapted in qualitative research procedures. For persons in the helping professions, a qualitative approach is consistent with the therapeutic process of coming to know a client. Human behavior is understood to be an expression of how individuals interpret their worlds. The task of the qualitative researcher is to capture this very process of interpretation in the subject's words, gestures, expressions, acts, and creations.
在本次讨论中，作者描述了一项试点研究中所使用的技术，该研究的目的是增进对护士及其经历的理解——这种理解是通过关注护士诗歌中的表达而实现的。人们对研究护理现象和发展护理理论的定性方法越来越感兴趣（西姆斯，1981年；芒霍尔，1982年；奥勒，1982年；奥默里，1983年；斯旺森和切尼茨，1982年）。事实上，帮助专业人员了解其服务对象所使用的许多技术和策略都可应用于定性研究程序。对于从事帮助专业的人员而言，定性方法与了解服务对象的治疗过程是一致的。人类行为被理解为个体对其世界的诠释方式的一种表达。定性研究人员的任务就是用研究对象的言语、手势、表情、行为和创作来捕捉这种诠释过程。
