WHAT IS HERMENEUTICAL
PHENOMENOLOGY?

Hermeneutic phenomenology is a
qualitative research method that
allows researchers to study how
experiences, traditions, and culture
shape ordinary, everyday practices.
MAIN PURPOSES :
Hermeneutic phenomenology has been used
widely by researchers to understand lived
experiences. This methodology asserts that
individual people are as unique as their life stories.
The practice of midwifery is underpinned by a
philosophy that values women and the uniqueness
of their child-bearing journey.
MAIN PURPOSES :
The hermeneutic method tries to introduce itself
into the content and the dynamics of the person
studied, in their implications, and seeks to
structure a coherent interpretation of the whole.
The phenomenological method completely
respects the person's account of their own
experiences. Hermeneutic research allows
interpretations and in-depth understanding of the
phenomenon investigated.
