Methodological potential of phenomenology and hermeneutics in research on valeological, rehabilitation and physiotherapeutic activities

Abstract

Aim: The aim of the study is to investigate the methodological potential of hermeneutics and phenomenology in modern specific scientific research on valeological, rehabilitation and physiotherapeutic activities, highlighting the substantive and functional features of phenomenology and hermeneutics in rehabilitation practice. Materials and Methods: The basis of scientific research is the method of historical-philosophical analysis. In working with texts, the general methodological basis was the acquisition of historical-critical and systemic-structural approaches. Also, the interdisciplinary approach played a leading role in the work, which within the scope of the study involves the synthesis of not only the norms of scientific research of primary sources, but also theoretical ideas and principles that determine the directions of the object’s research. Conclusions: It was established that hermeneutics and phenomenology have significant methodological potential in valeological, rehabilitation and physiotherapeutic research. It has been proven that the problem of understanding is of particular importance in rehabilitation activities. With the help of hermeneutics, it is possible to create a bridge for effective communication between the rehabilitation doctor and the patient.
