為擴展現象學研究法於質性護理研究之應用，本文內容從五個部份來探討此主題：一、現象學的基本概念和研究原則。二、現象學研究法常用步驟，包括確認現象、結構化研究、資料收集、資料分析、和描述現象。三、用邏輯實証哲學的信效度觀點，以及用質性研究的審核標準，去看現象學研究之嚴謹度問題。四、從護理的臨床、教育、和行政參大領域去看現象學研究之應用，從中以瞭解未來可發展之方向。五、歸納其研究限制，即為其方法論特色之強調。希望此篇之探討，可促進護理研究之省思，展望未來應用現象學方法論於護理研究，以瞭解人類健康經驗與需求。

This article explores the application of phenomenological methodology in nursing research. Five parts related to this application are included. The first part includes the basic concepts and research principles of phenomenology. The second details research steps, including identifying phenomenon, structuring research, collecting data, analyzing data, and describing phenomena. The third reviews the application of phenomenology in nursing clinical research for exploration of future directions, education, and administration. The fourth examines the rigor of phenomenological methodology from the view of reliability and validity in logical positivism and from the criteria of the qualitative research. Finally, the fifth includes the limitations and the characteristics of phenomenological methodology. The intent of this article is to induce reflection on nursing research and explore future applications of phenomenological methodology in understanding human health experience and needs.
