Touch Me Not: Lived Experiences of Patients With Leprosy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781974307753)

This book aims to guide student nurses and researchers in their pursuit of a qualitative research. This phenomenological study had been accepted and presented in an International Research Conference last February 2016. The book contains discussion of the whole qualitative research process juxtaposed in a creative way. No man is an island. All creations of God deserve the same equal dignity, level of respect and amount of love regardless of race, religion and social background and indeed equally important-health status. But despite the era of today's modernization and evolution of health care, our human judgment and supposition host a big impact at how we treat our fellows. Contracting a contagious disease such as leprosy can be very stigmatizing for the lepers. It is but the inveterate duty of health care professionals to educate the general society that the disease is curable with a multi- drug therapy and is a phenomenon that should not be daunted about. Feelings of rejection, ostracism, social rebuff and discrimination are for us even painful more than any other types of physical laceration. What's more in it to the lepers when they're considered castaways? Let us unravel their stories of both pains and hope with this phenomenology.
