The purpose of this study was to understand the vivid realities of important technical and relational aspects of visual art that were emphasised during training by art therapy supervisors and educators. Max van Manen's hermeneutic phenomenological methodology was incorporated into the study. Summarising their main experiences, art therapy supervisors enabled experiences of reproducibility and immediacy in their supervision, and allowed visual art to be used as a tool to foster inner contact with their supervisees. To enable this experience, art therapy supervisors provided a creative foundation and a receptive environment that promoted creativity for supervisees to use and experience art beyond the role of passive viewers. The results of this research clarified how the participating supervisors interpreted the value of art therapy as a method to nurture the professional growth of trainees. Their contributions suggest experiences and methods that may effectuate future advancements in the field of art therapy supervision.

The diverse set of phenomena, concepts, and activities existing in academic disciplines could be studied from multiple perspectives. One of the promising approaches to explore phenomena is hermeneutics, especially in the form of hermeneutic phenomenology, which has been formed as a consequence of postmodern movements. Hermeneutic phenomenology has taken root in the original ideas of philosophers like Husserl, Heidegger, and Gadamer, and has become one of the fruitful research methodologies over time. After a brief review of the foundations of hermeneutic and phenomenological methodologies, the role of the hermeneutic phenomenology approach in supporting research and information services is discussed. The present article seeks to describe narratively the use of hermeneutic phenomenology in such issues as information technology, information behavior, knowledge organization, and librarians' roles as related to Information Science.

It consists of four steps such as concentration on the nature of lived experience, existential research, hermeneutic phenomenological reflection and hermeneutic phenomenological writing. Method: Six middle aged participants who have been living with mothers- in- law in middle size of cities were interviewed and observed with their written consent for one month from 20, April. 2000 to 20 May 2000. To expand insight by analyzing sayings, folks stories, writings, etymology of sigipsalee relevant to it were collected and reviewed. Result: Five essential themes were derived by repeated reviewing the transcription of those interview such as difficulty living with endless heart distress, feeling oppressed, feeling deeply lonely, having a stronger backing as time passes, in turn harmonizing with each other. On the basis of the five essential theme hermeneutic phenomenological writing was done as follow. Participants lived lives filled with uneasy feeling from the newly formed relationship among in laws but especially with mothers- in- law. Participants did their best to be acknowledged found that at a significant moment during family event they would be treated as strangers so that they felt isolated and alone.

본 연구는 출생 3개월 이전에 정상아인줄 알고 입양한 후, 양육과정에서 장애가 드러난 장애아동을양육하는 입양어머니의 내적 경험을 Van Manen(2000)의 해석학적 현상학 연구방법으로 접근하였다. 서울 광주 경남 전북에서 6명의 어머니를 대상으로 심층 인터뷰하였다. 연구결과, '안개 속을 헤메임, 삭히는 시간, 고통 중의 감사, 세상에 당당히 맞섬, 내 삶의 중심으로 들어 온 아픈 아이, 아직 살아보지 않은 날에의 기대'로 도출된 본질적 주제를 통해 '아픈 아이의 꿈을 이뤄주고 싶은 엄마마음'으로 해석학적 글쓰기를 하였다. 조금은 부족한 아이이므로 더 잘 키워주어 아이의 꿈을 이뤄주고 싶은 어머니의 마음은 결국 한 생명에 대한 사랑이었다. 긴 가슴앓이의 시간 후, 입양어머니에게 아이의 장애는 짐이 아니라 새로운 세상에의 기대로 나타나고 있고, 아동의 홀로서기를 만들어내고 있으며, 세상의 모든 아이는 가정을 가질 수 있음을 나타내고 있다.

Purpose: This study aimed to understand and describe the caring experiences of spouses of elderly people with dementia. Methods: The hermeneutic phenomenological method was used and participants were 12 spouses aged 65 and over who were taking care of their husbands or wives with dementia at home. Data were collected from individual in-depth interviews on participants' actual caring experiences. Additionally, novels, movies, and memoirs on elderly couples with partner who had dementia were included as data for the analysis. The qualitative data analysis software program was used to manage and process the collected qualitative data. Data were analyzed using hermeneutic phenomenological analysis based on four fundamental existentials including lived body, lived space, lived time, and lived others. Results: Five essential themes emerged from the analysis: 1) body moving like an old machine, 2) swamp of despair filling with hope, 3) sweet time after bitterness, 4) disappointed elderly couple in the empty nest, and 5) unappreciation vs. empathetic feelings. These essential themes were comprehensively summarized as "the road leading to the maturation of life with dedication and hope while bearing the weight of caring based on the couple's relationship." Conclusion: The findings indicate that the nature of the caring experience of spouses of elderly individuals with dementia is filled with many dynamic and paradoxical dimensions. Thus, results of the study would help with developing interventions tailored specifically for elderly spouse caregivers to support their role adaptation and ultimately improving their quality of life.

본 연구는 10명의 초임 과학교사들이 첫 3개월간 교사로서의 긍정적 또는 부정적 정체성을 찾아가는 경험에 대한 해석학적 현상학 연구이다. 본 연구는 van Manen(1990)이 제시한 해석학적 현상학 연구 근거하여 유혜령(2015)이 제시한 현상학적 질적 연구 수행절차 4단계에 따라 진행되었다. 본 연구의 주요 데이터는 연구 대상들의 근무 지역 등의 여건을 고려하여 수집된 전화 인터뷰의 전사 자료이며 해석학적 현상학 방법에 따라 자료에서 드러난 현상이 가지는 의미를 범주화하고 개념화 하는 과정을 거처 주제를 찾아내고 그 정당성을 확인하는 과정으로 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 초임과학 교사들이 교사로서의 긍정적인 정체성을 갖게 되는 경험들이 공통적으로 '내가 누군가에게 필요한 존재'라는 것을 인식하게 되는 순간들임을 보여준다. 반대로 초임 과학교사들은 생활지도에서 학생들을 태하는 태도에 대한 확신이 없거나 수업에서 학생들의 적극적인 수업 참여를 이끌어 내지 못할 때 자신의 교직 역량을 의심하는 부정적인 교사 정체성을 만들게 된다. 본 연구의 결과는 현재 한국의 예비과학교사 양성 과정의 개선점에 대한 중요한 시사점을 제공한다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a deeper understanding of the experience of mothers caring for children with epilepsy. Methods: Data were collected through individual in-depth interviews and observation from 12 mothers of children with epilepsy. Data were collected from December, 2014 to February, 2015 and analyzed using van Manen's hermeneutic phenomenological methodology to identify essential themes of their experience. Results: The essential themes that fit into the context of the 4-existential grounds of time, body, other people, and space were: Lived time-ongoing influence of the past, living in insecure present, fearful future with no answer; Lived body-bonded body, burned out state; Lived other-burden but also support, shrunken down; Lived space-narrowed range of activity, widened horizon. Conclusion: The findings in this study show in-depth understanding of the hardships of mothers who are caring for children with epilepsy. The beauty and greatness of these mothers are revealed through the analysis of various phenomenological materials such as literary and artistic work reflecting socio-cultural context, as well as vivid care experiences of mothers of children with epilepsy. This will be helpful in increasing understanding of the nature of caregivers' experience for medical professionals dealing with patients and caregivers. Also it helps to improve the understanding of the disease among the general public, followed by a more warming and caring attitude towards patients and family members. Finally, it will enhance psychological well-being and overall quality of life of the epileptic children and their families.
