The Question regarding the essence of nursing has been continued with the beginning of Nursing and it is a question that demands continuous exploration and introspection by all the people who deal with Nursing. Nursing phenomena and Nursing origin that deal with the realities of life are very closely related with humanism, and humanism´s philosophical value: and beliefs have limits in experience analytical points.
In order to study it in a comprehensive way, qualitative research method which is a naturalistic method is needed.
In coincidence with the need for Korean Nursing theory, many masters, and doctorate degree colleagues who applied the qualitative research method have been coming out ever since the 1980´s and therefore a lot of Nursing researcher´s interest and concern are increasing rapidly.
At this point, I thought that it would be meaningful to study the philosophical background of qualitative research method which has given way to this study.
Philosophy also brings to mind the abandoning the realistic world to go into the essential world reme:mberring the idea(Platon) of the essential world. It is a study which establishes philosophy of life and the world and it, therefore, establisher the basic; attitude towards life. At the same time it can be defined as a study which confirms the status of man in the world and foundation of the elements of the world. This is formed in the manner of action, content, and attitude.
If you look at the basic beliefs principle when examing the change in world philosopy, Nursing paradime and health paradime, it predicts a lot more than scientific or restorative view and shows creative, complex, dynamic, pluralistic, uncertain, clairvoyant and differant principles.
Those Nursing researchers who emphasized the ontological side, found meaning through the human and human relationship : humanenvironment relationship´s experience studies and they said under-standing it involved threating the Nursing ontological side as the essence, as adeguate. Meanwhile, Nightingale, Peplau, Henderson, Orlando and King supported the theory of knowledge by saying that knowing in Nursing is reflecting the philosopher´s discussion in the theory of knowledge and one of the purposes in the theory of knowledge in Nursing is that of confirming Nursing as itself.
The purpose of qualitative research method can be seen as instrumentation, illustration, sencitization, conceptualization. Along with the philosophical, ontological and epistemological changes in Nursing a wide range of qualitive research approach method is being used and recently is increasing rap-idly. However, Due to this rapid increase, the following kind of problems have been noted.
Firstly, as the research method used by other study areas have been designed under different hypothesis, model and purpose is it really possible to use it as it is without any alterations?
Secondly, it should be considered carefully whether this kind of method itself is either just a collection of data or an analysis. The fact that many researchers have acquired research method through ´selfstudy´ which results in adapting these methods according to spesific situations and each researcher´s distinct style which gives way to various categories which is a problem. Thirdly as a result of all these. The result is not scientific and at
best, it only is a mixture of a lot of rubbish. This further endangers the possibliity of attaining desired results. If methods have to be developed and changed, it should be done by somone with a lot of experience and not by a incompetent person, a be-ginner.
Fourthly, it is the usage of qualitative method which is used to concentrate theory It is possible that a question like "should qualitative research method be as instructive as qualitative method or should it be described in a massive way to develop a distinct style which agrees with the researcher him-self?" can rise.
Based on all the facts so far, I am going to suggest the following. Firstly, rather than ragarding the qualitative research method based on humanistic philosophy on Nursing area as just a phase, I think that it will only be possible to explore the real Nursing essence and knowledge when the researcher´s philosophical attitude, content and action constitutes a harmony with the humanistic philosophy. If a researcher were to choose the qualitive research mehtod for the purpose of avoiding the differenty in statistical analysis, then he is in the danger of being in a very precarious state as a scholar.
Secondly, when in the process of research planning, the qualitative research method demands a lot of time and it requires flexbility variety, vagneness, and experience in life.
It also requires creativity and scholastic preparation because data comes from the interaction be - tween researcher and research participants.
Thirdly, in order to use the qualitive method, various areas such as philosophy, phenomenology, sociology, anthropology, Feminism, Art, and history should be studied and prepared beforehand.
