Exploring children's and adolescents' healthcare experiences: a hermeneutic-phenomenological inquiry Gail Davison (8548344) PUREID: 321592083 Children phenomenology Hermeneutics healthcare paediatrics This is a hermeneutic-phenomenological inquiry exploring children's and adolescents' experiences of healthcare. The impetus to pursue this line of inquiry rests on the need for healthcare services to provide favourable healthcare experiences, as a key healthcare quality criterion. Also, healthcare professionals are individuals with emotions and virtues who aspire provide children with good care. <br><br>This thesis contains two studies: first, a scoping review and interpretive synthesis exploring children and adolescents experiences of healthcare professionals, and second, a hermeneutic-phenomenological inquiry exploring children's hospital experiences using novel participatory art-based approaches. <br><br>It is hoped that, by exploring children's lived experiences, healthcare professionals will be better placed to provide care which better aligns with children's needs. 2026-10-01T17:08:34Z Text Thesis 10.17034/32632779.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/thesis/Exploring_children_s_and_adolescents_healthcare_experiences_a_hermeneutic-phenomenological_inquiry/32632779 All Rights Reserved
