- Summary:
- This case study explores an innovative and inclusive research methodology that blends body mapping (BMap) with a critical hermeneutic circle. The case study reflects original research investigating the lived experiences of novice nurses in Alberta, Canada, during their transition into professional practice. The research design prioritizes relational humanistic inquiry and centers participants as cocreators of knowledge by inviting them to visually and symbolically express their professional realities. This innovation addresses the methodological challenges of eliciting embodied knowledge and honoring participant voice while navigating the ethical complexities of anonymity in arts-based research. The case study details the philosophical and theoretical foundations underpinning this blended design; highlighting the practical considerations and adaptations made during the COVID-19 pandemic and evaluating the researcher’s choice of method to promote inclusion, community, and rigorous inquiry. This approach offers valuable insights for researchers and educators in nursing and allied health disciplines who seek to explore complex, sociopolitically situated experiences through arts-based and interpretive approaches. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of how to implement body mapping (BMap) in practice, the value of integrating critical hermeneutics for deeper interpretation, and the importance of methodological congruence and ethical reflexivity in inclusive research design.
