Abstract
Ethnography and phenomenological research in nursing could make a worthwhile contribution to nursing science and practice. Ethnography and phenomenology study should be considered as an alternative research approach in nursing study. Both Ethnography and phenomenology methods are useful to reveal lived experiences of patients and nurses in health care services. A nursing researcher might utilise an ethnographic approach to explicate the ways of living of people in particular cultures, emphasizing the role of culture in shaping experience rather than the meaning of the experience and exploring the beliefs, language, behaviours and social dynamics of a particular cultural group. The use of phenomenological research in nursing could make a worthwhile contribution to nursing science and practice. Nursing is principally a human relationship including interactions between nurses and patients, nurses and families, nurses and nurses, or nurses and other professionals without necessarily connecting to a particular cultural identity. There are several aspects affect the use of Ethnography and phenomenology methods in nursing research.
