Health is a central concept within the discipline of nursing. Few studies have focused on health as a lived experience. In addition there is confusion about the relationship of health and disease, and the relationship of the personal experience and the cultural meaning of health. The purposes of this study were: (1) To generate a structure of meaning of the lived experience of health for hospitalized older women in Taiwan, (2) To examine the dialectic relationship between health and disease for older women in Taiwan, and (3) To examine the dialectic relationship between the meaning of health for these women and the meaning of health in the Chinese culture.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Health is a central concept within the discipline of nursing. Few studies have focused on health as a lived experience. In addition there is confusion about the relationship of health and disease, and the relationship of the personal experience and the cultural meaning of health. The purposes of this study were: (1) To generate a structure of meaning of the lived experience of health for hospitalized older women in Taiwan, (2) To examine the dialectic relationship between health and disease for older women in Taiwan, and (3) To examine the dialectic relationship between the meaning of health for these women and the meaning of health in the Chinese culture.
520 $a The sample consisted of twelve older women over sixty-five years of age who had some medical diagnosis and were patients in one of two Taipei general hospitals. Parse's phenomenological method was used to address the first research question. This method includes the processes of participant selection, dialogical engagement, extraction-synthesis, and heuristic interpretation. The second and the third research questions of this study were answered through application of dialectic. This method involves philosophic argumentation through the processes of thesis, antithesis, and synthesis.
520 $a Three core concepts were identified from the descriptions of the experience of health. These were: moderating Yin-Yang rhythms, expanding essence through energy, and actualizing fullness of being. The structure of meaning of the lived experience of health for hospitalized older women in Taiwan was: actualizing fullness of being through moderating Yin-Yang rhythms and expanding essence through energy. The relationship between health and disease for each participant was complex. Although living with the disease influenced the lived experience of health, the lived experience of health encompassed more than anything disease-related. The meaning of health for these participants closely related to the meaning of health in the Chinese culture.
520 $a Implications of this study for nursing are discussed. The findings of this study are related to other qualitative studies on the experience of health. The findings have particular value for understanding health within the Chinese culture.
