Abstract

Introduction: One of the emerging methods of qualitative research methodology is discourse analysis. This method is a non-reactive and non-intervention method that seeks to analyze and view documents and texts that have already been recorded. The aim of this study was to determine this method and its application in nursing.
Method: A comprehensive search was performed through multiple databases such as Ovid, Medline, Google Scholar, ProQuest, ScienceDirect, Social Sciences Index, SID and international and internal sources with keywords such as “discourse analysis” and “discourse analysis in nursing”, and related articles and books were identified and studied. In addition to exploring this method, its application in nursing was also revealed.
Results: Discourse analysis is a non-intervention qualitative method to analyze recorded documents and texts and their implicit and explicit meanings in order to share experiences and human thoughts. Discourse analysis is a useful and productive qualitative methodology but has been underutilized within nursing research.
Conclusion: Discourse analysis can be used in producing new knowledge, and analyzing and clarifying disputed concepts and theories of nursing, and plays an important role in analyzing not only correct communication between the nurse and the patient but also nursing professional identity.
