There is a changing emphasis in nursing research towards qualitative studies rather than quantitative ones. Phenomenology as a research methodology has value in discovering the real needs of patients and clients which The Scope of Professional Practice (UKCC, 1992) suggests should be the aim of each registered practitioner. Phenomenology is closely linked to nursing's humanistic philosophy. Phenomenology has given nurses valuable insights into the patients' perspective on a range of health and hospitalisation issues. Nursing research should not be allowed to remain a cottage industry.
护理研究的重点正在从定量研究转向定性研究。现象学作为一种研究方法，对于发现患者和服务对象的实际需求具有价值，而《专业实践范围》（英国中央助产士及护士管理委员会，1992年）表明这应该是每位注册从业者的目标。现象学与护理的人文主义理念紧密相连。现象学使护士能够深入了解患者对一系列健康和住院问题的看法。护理研究不应一直处于小规模状态。
