Hahn clearly follows the constructivist research ideology. The interesting aspect of this chapter is that she integrates action research as a technique to become the participatory-phenomenology method. Compare this to the definition and application by Lim and Seok-Chai when using the pragmatist ideology (previous section). Furthermore, consider the interpretative eidetic versus descriptive hermeneutic phenomenology method variations discussed in the previous chapters by McCarthy. This is why action research is both a technique and a method that can be used in interpretative or constructivist ideologies, but phenomenology as a method is generally positioned under the constructivistic ideology. In this chapter, Hahn discusses how a researcher with a constructivist ideology would articulate and then apply the participatory-phenomenology method on a health-care nurse's experience as an inductive within-group unit of analysis with a group level of analysis (the nurses at a particular hospital).
