Abstract
The choice of research methodology is presented briefly, noting the general move from rigorous quantitative methodologies to qualitative approaches, allowing the voices of the research participants to be obtained. Note is taken of an inductive qualitative research introducing the research procedures. Also, the phenomenological approach, its philosophical background and phenomenological existentials employed in exploring meaning aspects of the phenomenon are overviewed. Finally, a detailed description of the research procedures is provided.
