The Phenomenon of Taking Life Day-by-Day: Using Parse's Research Method

Anthony J. Welch, RN; PhD

School of Nursing, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Queensland

Parse's research method informed the exploration of the phenomenon of taking life day-by-day as viewed through the conceptual lens of the human becoming theory. From the perspective of human becoming, taking life day-by-day is a universal lived experience of health and quality of life. The participants in this study were 10 men between 35 and 60 years who had experienced depression and were willing to share their lived world of taking life day-by-day. Three core concepts were explicated from the participants' dialogues, enduring with the burdensome, envisioning the possibles, and sure-unsure. The findings of this study represent a tapestry of the participants' experiences woven with the human becoming theory, this researcher's engagement with an exacting process of inquiry, and his personal journey into the landscape of the human becoming school of thought.

Key Words: day-by-day • human becoming • men with depression • Parse
