Phenomenon-oriented lifeworld-led data generation in qualitative research-challenging absent or inadequate choices of methods
Methodological decisions should not be dictated merely by convenience or convention within research groups. These decisions must embody sensitivity toward participants, particularly considering the vulnerable status of healthcare recipients. We advocate explicitly integrating human rights considerations into research practice, reinforcing ethical responsibilities inherent in qualitative health research. Adopting a lifeworld-led, phenomenon-oriented approach, represents a vital and ethically sound pathway to achieving insightful and meaningful qualitative research outcomes.
