Method: Five open, unstructured interviews were analysed using a descriptive phenomenological method developed by Amedeo Giorgi. Findings: The essential structure of the research phenomenon consists of six key constituents: sense of heightened awareness of body sensation; sense of changed relationship to the feet; sense of changed participation in daily life; sense of the self with multiple sclerosis; sense of the meaning of interaction with others; and…
Graduating Physiotherapy Students’ Conceptions of their own Competence
2017
A competence-oriented approach has recently emerged in higher education and thus far, not much attention has been paid to how “competence” itself is understood in education. The purpose of this study was to examine how graduating physiotherapy students perceive their competence at the end of their studies. The data comprised interviews with 33 graduating physiotherapy students. The data were analysed with the phenomenographic approach. The findings indicated that graduating students had different and wide-ranging conceptions of what competence in physiotherapy entails and what their own competence covers. The descriptive categories – mastering core skills, understanding the theoretical basi…
Patients’ conceptions of preoperative physiotherapy education before hip arthroplasty
2015
In Finland, over 7500 hip arthroplasties are performed annually. While the mean age of the patients has increased, the length of hospital stay has decreased, and this presents challenges for patient education. The aim of this study was to explore patients’ conceptions of preoperative physiotherapy education. This qualitative study included 10 hip arthroplasty patients. Data were collected using individual interviews at home before collecting preoperative information, and at the hospital after the operation. The interviews were tape-recorded and analysed using the phenomenographic method. Four hierarchically constructed categories of preoperative physiotherapy education were identified: read…
Physiotherapists’ conceptions of movement awareness– A phenomenographic study
2021
The phenomenon of movement awareness requires more attention to make it explicit in physiotherapy. The aim of this study was to explore the variation in physiotherapists’ conceptions of movement quality, focusing on movement awareness. The informants were 15 physiotherapists from a variety of physiotherapy fields. We collected data through two group interviews and used the phenomenographic method to analyze them. Four themes emerged from the data: 1) Being in contact with one’s own moving body; 2) Increased awareness of movement experiences; 3) Interrelationship between physiotherapist and patient; and 4) Better understanding of movement awareness. These themes varied by four descriptive ca…
University Teachers’ Conceptions of Their Role as Developers of Technology-Rich Learning Environments
2017
This phenomenographic study examines how a diverse group of university teachers conceptualised their role as developers of technology-rich learning environments at one university in Finland. The research findings illustrate a variety of conceptions. Five qualitatively different ways of understanding teachers’ roles regarding the development of technology-rich learning environments were found: 1) innovator, 2) early adopter, 3) adaptive, 4) sceptic and 5) late adopter. In order to connect the whole set of interconnected roles to a theory of change, Everett Rogers’ innovation diffusion theory was exploited in the last phase of analysis. Finally, hierarchically structured categories were creat…
De la reflexión a la repetición. Un análisis histórico-conceptual de la noción de Destruktion en Heidegger (1919-1927)
2022
La tesis doctoral se propone cartografiar el uso de la noción de Destruktion a lo largo de la Gesamtausgabe (GA) de Heidegger, desde sus primeras lecciones hasta Ser y tiempo. Con dicho estudio se busca esclarecer el significado de la “destrucción de la historia de la filosofía” que Heidegger presenta en el §6 de su opus magnum. A lo largo de los años previos a la publicación de Ser y tiempo se observan tres usos cronológicamente diferenciados de la noción de Destruktion, que constituyen los “sedimentos” a partir de los cuales esta es utilizada en dicha obra. Mediante el primer uso, presente en los textos entre 1919 y 1921 (GA 56/57, 58, 59, 60), la noción es definida como un método filosóf…
Fenomenología didáctica del árbol de Stern-Brocot
2018
El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar la fenomenología matemática y didáctica de la fracción mediante y del árbol de fracciones (árbol de Stern-Brocot), mostrando su carácter elemental, su historia y su interés y utilidad potencial para la Enseñanza Secundaria. Se muestra, asímismo, cómo el árbol de fracciones proporciona una construcción didáctica de los números racionales, abriendo nuevas perspectivas para la enseñanza de los mismos en el aula. The aim of this study is to uncover the mathematical and didactical phenomenology of the mediant and the tree of fractions (Stern-Brocot tree), showing their elementary and fundamental character, their historical roots and their interest and pot…
Adorno e Heidegger tra dialettica e fenomeologia.
2005
È impresa non priva di difficoltà far convivere nello stesso spazio cartaceo autori come Th. W. Adorno e M. Heidegger, che si muovono all’interno di orizzonti di riflessione filosofica così distanti e rispetto ai quali può sembrare scientificamente pretenzioso ogni tentativo di accostamento, fosse anche questo interamente in direzione di una forte e netta differenziazione. Il presente saggio, riconoscendo la difficoltà di una lettura del rapporto Adorno-Heidegger che pretenda di far dialogare i due autori secondo i termini di un confronto immanente, si propone, tuttavia, di far risaltare i tratti comuni che attestano la loro cittadinanza nell’ambito della proposta di indagine filosofica pro…
Patient education in physiotherapy in total hip arthroplasty (THA) - The perspective of physiotherapists
2018
Background and Purpose There is limited knowledge about patients’ and physiotherapists’ perceptions of patient education in physiotherapy in hip arthroplasty.

Methods The data for this qualitative study were collected using group and individual semi-structured interviews. Seven physiotherapists were interviewed. The research data were analyzed using a phenomenographic method. Results Three categories of patient education in physiotherapy in hip arthroplasty were produced and the categories formed a hierarchy. The narrowest descri…
"Sitä vaan hengitetään, joskus yksin ja joskus yhdessä" : tapaustutkimus sosiaalisen fobian tuomista haasteista terapeuttisen yhteistyösuhteen muodos…
2014
Tämän pro gradu -tutkielman tarkoituksena on selvittää sosiaalisen fobian vaikutusta terapeuttisen yhteistyösuhteen rakentumiseen yhden kokonaisen terapiaprosessin aikana. Lisäksi tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on kuvata asiakkaan ja terapeutin kokemia yhteistyösuhteeseen liittyviä haasteita sekä tarkastella niitä Bordinin (1979) yhteistyösuhteen teorian valossa. Aineistomme koostuu yhdestä Jyväskylän yliopiston opetus- ja tutkimusklinikalle sosiaalisen fobian vuoksi hakeutuneen asiakkaan koko 54 istuntoa kattavasta terapiaprosessista. Tutkielma on luonteeltaan laadullinen tapaustutkimus, jonka analyysimenetelmänä käytämme tapaustutkimusten ja pienten aineistojen tutkimiseen kehitettyä tulkitsev…
