A theoretical essay whose literary input was obtained from repositories and electronic data sources was conducted, published in the years 2010 to 2014 were included combinations of eight key words were used and those items not mentioned the theoretical approach of philosophers were excluded Of interest. It is concluded that the three philosophical perspectives pose a feasible methodological strategy to be used in qualitative research in nursing, either under the descriptive school of Husserl, Heidegger interpretive stance or the social vision of Schütz.
