Abstract

Part two of this paper outlines a qualitative study, in which a Heideggarian hermeneutic phenomenological approach was used to answer the question, 'What is it like to live with chronic pilonidal disease?' A review of the condition and the background to this study, including the rationale for the research approach, are presented in part one of this article.
