GIL-MATEU, Elsa. The autoethnography and their importance in healthcare research. Index Enferm [online]. 2023, vol.32, n.1, e13051. Epub 18-Sep-2023. ISSN 1699-5988. https://dx.doi.org/10.58807/indexenferm20234378.
Autoethnography is a methodology that systematically describes and analyses personal experiences, with the aim of understanding cultural experiences. The first is part of an analytical category, and its depth is given by emotions, thus showing the vulnerability of the very same researcher. We can say that this is a phenomenological description of emotions, which helps us to explain and to order the experience; an approach that recognizes the subjectivity, emotionality and influence of the researcher in his work. It is this constant intersubjectivity that allows the critical thinking emerge, and enables deeper thoughtful knowledge of the cultural aspects, economic and political phenomena, in order to be able to emphasize the experience of the suffering. The article discloses the ontological and epistemological contributions of autoethnography and vindicates the role they play in generating the phenomenon that is being studied, highlighting the meanings of lived experiences as a source of knowledge, and bringing the reality of humans closer to nursing care.
