FRITZ SCHÜTZE'S AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL NARRATIVE ANALYSIS APPLIED TO NURSING RESEARCH

ABSTRACT Objective: an experience report with families after natural disasters to present the adapted application of autobiographical narrative analysis in nursing research, proposed by Fritz Schütze. Method: to describe the process of obtaining narratives followed by the adaptations steps of method application. Results: six cases of families from a rural area of southern Brazil were surveyed one year after the disaster which resulted in deaths and material losses. The first step was the formal text analysis. The second, was the accurate analysis of each narrative segment. The third phase consisted of the analytic abstraction with the reconstruction of the families' stories. The fourth step recaptured the discussion segments of narratives and theoretical explanations developed by the informants about the disaster. The fifth step summarized the comparison among different cases. Conclusion: the method offers support for interviews and in-depth analysis of health and disease narratives and their social context. Its potential for application to nursing research highlights attitudes and life changes in the face of crisis and suffering, based on experiences of individuals in groups such as families and communities.
