13) 2006	Donnelly & Wiechula The lived experience of a tracheostomy tube change: a phenomenological study.	To investigate the lived experience patients have of a tracheostomy tube change.

To understand better what it means for a transplant patient to wait, the authors explore in this phenomenological study the meaning that people with liver failure ascribe to the experience of waiting for a transplant.

The experience of waiting includes transformations, doctors, teams and trust, elation to despair, loss, questioning the process, searching, coping, and the paradox of time. Trust and faith in the transplant team were judged to be a positive element for “surviving” on the waiting list.
