Struggling with Going Along when you do not Believe

Lois S. Kelley, RN; DEd

Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton, FL

The phenomenon central to this study is, "struggling with going along in a situation you do not believe in." It emerged as a predominant universal lived experience within the lives of outstanding nurses in the United States studied earlier by the author. The purpose of the research reported in this article was to generate a structure of the lived experience of "struggling with going along in a situation you do not believe in," using Parse's research methodology. Through the processes of the method: participant selection, dialogical engagement, extraction-synthesis and heuristic interpretation, a structure of the lived experience for persons over 65 years of age was generated. This structure is: struggling with going along in a situation you do not believe in is justifiable yielding, as opposing views intensify personal convictions and compel disclosure while suffering consequences. When linked with the major concepts of Parse's theory, the theoretical definition is: valuing the powering of revealing-concealing. Recommendations for further study are offered.
