The Lived Experience of Feeling Very Tired: A Study Using the Parse Research Method

Rosemarie Rizzo Parse, RN; PhD; FAAN

Professor and Niehoff Chair, Loyola University Chicago, Chicago, Illinois

The purpose of this study was to answer the research question, What is the structure of the lived experience of feeling very tired? The Parse research method was used to discover the meaning of feeling very tired for 10 women volunteer participants. The major finding of the study is the structure: The lived experience of feeling very tired is devitalizing languor arising with engaging endeavors amid pulsating moments of repose-revive. The study finding contributes knowledge about feeling very tired and its connection to health and quality of life. The structure is discussed in light of the principles of human becoming, and suggestions are made for future research.

Key Words: feeling very tired • human becoming • lived experience • Parse research method • quality of life
