摘要：Objective:To explore the meaning of care experienced by people with blindness in hospitals.
Methods:Interpretive phenomenology along with the 6-step method of van Manen was used to conduct the study.Using purposeful sampling,15 people with legal blindness were interviewed.Thematic analysis was used to isolate the meaning of care.
Results:Five themes emerged:(a)nurses in the eyes of patients with blindness;(b)negligence in the caring moments;(c)being cared for in ambiguity;(d)Uncoordinated care;and(e)Psychological discomfort.These sub-themes were condensed into an overarching theme titled as"marginalized patients inside the stereotypical healthcare system."
Conclusions:Lived experiences of patients with blindness revealed that hospitals provide stereotypic or inappropriate care for this minority group in society.Health professionals particularly nurses should be skilled to provide person-centered and coordinated care for patients with blindness.
