The Power of a Ricoeur-Inspired Phenomenological-Hermeneutic Approach to Focus Group Interviews.
Article in Journal of advanced nursing, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimTo justify the use of focus group interviews with patients and healthcare professionals within a phenomenological-hermeneutic approach inspired by the theory of the French philosopher Paul Gustave Ricoeur. DESIGN AND
methodsMethodological guidance and discussion grounded in Ricoeur's theory on narrative, dialogue, threefold mimesis and interpretation.
resultsThis phenomenological-hermeneutical approach to focus group interviews yields significant, in-depth understandings of lived experiences from both patients and healthcare professionals.
conclusionsRicoeur-inspired phenomenological-hermeneutical focus group interviews with patients and healthcare professionals offer a promising approach for exploring and generating new, valuable insights into the complexities of clinical nursing practice. Thus, this paper argues for an integration of focus group interviews and a phenomenological-hermeneutical approach within nursing science. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION: The approach has significant implications for nursing practice. By incorporating Ricoeur-inspired dialogue-based collective voices of patients and healthcare professionals in focus group interviews, nursing practices can be refined, leading to improved patient care and more effective clinical interventions. Thus, this approach advocates for a broader adoption of Ricoeur-inspired focus group interviews in nursing research and in health research in general to enhance the understanding and development of clinical models.
