dc.description.abstractJourney to the Right Place: Constructing the Honorable Health Care Relationship Through Story. Experiences of Parents During Diagnosis and Treatment of Their Child's Chronic Illness. Author: A Capron. A hermeneutic phenomenological study of parent's stories of relationship with health care providers at the time of their child's illness. Using honoring as a methodology, the parental experiences are recanted in a final story focusing on the construction of connection through: (a) hearing the story - the role of dialogue/listening in making the connection, (b) inviting the translator in - recognizing parental knowledge, and (c) providing comfort through validation. The thesis concludes with a discussion of this knowledge in relation to the author's practice of nursing, suggesting that honoring and bearing witness may serve as a new means of relating in caring and serve to champion a new form of health promotion through providing a mechanism to translate patient centered theories of care into practice.
