Main research areas
Using interpretative phenomenological analysis as an idiographic, qualitative method.
Exploring the experiences of chronic diseases.
As far as we know, no study has yet been carried out on the professional identity of cardiac surgeons, looking at their lived experiences. We would like to fill this gap with our research, in which we intend to explore the lived experiences of cardiac surgeons in relation to their profession and the nature of their professional identity using a phenomenological method, semi-structured interviews.
We seek answers to the following research questions:
What does it mean to be a cardiac surgeon?
What does it mean to be a heart surgeon?
How does being a cardiac surgeon give them a sense of identity?
