Feeling respected-not respected: the embedded artist in Parse method research.

Abstract

The purpose of this column is to present the plan of a research project involving researchers, artists, and research participants. The planned research project will explore with the Parse method eight universal lived experiences important to persons in community. It is anticipated that art works will complement story and text in order to enhance understanding. The authors here present the first attempt of including an embedded artist with Parse method involving one participant who spoke about her experience of feeling respected-not respected. Researcher text and artist works are shown to enhance meaning and understanding.
