This study addressed, from a theoretical perspective, qualitative research and the phenomenological method based on the empiricalcomprehensive model of Amedeo Giorgi. In an effort to minimize the difficulties found when applying the phenomenological method, in terms of the great variety of interpretations and also in explaining the manner in which the results of this kind of research are constituted, it was necessary to clarify the qualitative nature of the situation under investigation, the investigator/investigatee relationship model and the way in which an awareness of the problem has been created, as well as the related, intrinsic aspects. With the aim of embracing all this content, this paper was divided into three parts. Firstly, an introduction into qualitative research was carried out. The second part proposed a discussion on Phenomenology and its main concepts and, in the third part of this paper, with regard to qualitative research, the phenomenological method was studied, in particular the model developed by Giorgi.
