I am soon to begin writing my thesis as the culmination of my master's studies in Clinical Nursing. I would like to explore nurses' experiences and, therefore, plan to conduct interviews. I aim to take a phenomenological-hermeneutic approach but use Braun and Clarke's Thematic Analysis as a method of finding themes in then transcribed text. However, I find it a bit challenging to determine whether this is feasible, as phenomenology and hermeneutics have their own methods for analyzing transcribed text. For instance, is it possible to employ Heidegger's philosophy as a theoretical framework, but use Thematic Analysis as the method to identify the themes in the transcribed text?
I hope some one can help to clarify.
Braun and Clark (2022) distinguish their approach from Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis, which is certainly the most closely related version of phenomenology, because they both rely on coding. So, if you are using one of the more hermeneutical versions of phenomenology, I don't see how you could combine it with thematic analysis.
If you use interpretive phenomenology, you can code and analyze your data purposefully by identifying the phenomenological (the experience itself), idiographic, and interpretive components as your themes and then discuss that keeping in mind the unique and common experi
