RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Lifeworld interpretation of tinnitus JF Medical Humanities JO J Med Humanit FD BMJ Publishing Group Ltd and Institute of Medical Ethics SP 428 OP 433 DO 10.1136/medhum-2019-011665 VO 45 IS 4 A1 Helen Pryce A1 Rachel Shaw YR 2019 UL http://mh.bmj.com/content/45/4/428.abstract AB Lifeworld-led care provides a route through which research and practice can navigate the ‘biopsychosocial’ allowing us to overcome the shortfalls of the medical model and enabling us to prioritise humanity in the care of people living with tinnitus. In this article, we sought to explore qualitative descriptions of life with tinnitus. We aimed to address the question ‘what it is like to live with tinnitus?’ In doing so we examined qualitative studies and provide suggestions about key themes that seem consistent. This is a narrative, thematic overview of the way lifeworld has been conceptualised and explored in tinnitus research.
