Description
The purpose of the study was to come to understand the experience of a caring interaction between a single mother and the father of the baby. A qualitative study from a phenomenological perspective was used, with eleven participants being interviewed. Significant statements from the interviews were analyzed according to the four steps developed by Giorgi (1985). A description of the meaningful experience was obtained which includes the common themes of caring and non-caring. The themes and the implications for nursing practice are discussed.
