Abstract

The purpose of this study was to uncover the structure of the common lived experience of health of "the experience of feeling that you belong", using Parse's research methodology. The nursing perspective for this study is that of Parse's nursing theory of human becoming. The researcher used the processes of the methodology, participant selection, dialogical engagement, extraction-synthesis, and heuristic interpretation to evolve the structure of the lived experience of health: The experience of feeling that you belong. The structure of the experience of feeling that you belong, discovered in this research with four participants, is prizing equivalent differences while illuminating light within the darkness and discovering fullness of self in community. This study demonstrates Parse's research methodology and expands the knowledge base of nursing.
