520 3    |a Background: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a syndrome that affects individuals’ cognitive processes. While MCI does not affect the person’s ability to function, it does affect the intellectual abilities of the individual. Regardless of the etiology, MCI negatively affects the well-being and safety of the individual. The target population for this inquiry was Haitians 55 years and older who live in South Florida. A gap in the literature exists regarding Haitian patients with MCI. The literature review revealed a lack of research on Haitians with MCI. Purpose: The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological inquiry was to explore the lived experience of Haitians with MCI in South Florida. This phenomenological research aimed to understand and to describe the essence of the experience of Haitians living with MCI in South Florida. Philosophical underpinning: A qualitative study using phenomenology guided by Max van Manen’s approach was used. Method: The qualitative research question guiding this inquiry was: What is the lived experience of Haitians with Mild Cognitive Impairment in South Florida? A purposive sampling of 21 participants was recruited from medical clinics, churches, and regularly frequented community centers visited by Haitians throughout South Florida. Data collection consisted of semi-structured interviews. Max van Manen’s data analysis process was used to explore and gain understanding of the resultant data. Result: The results revealed a myriad of feelings regarding MCI. Four main themes and two subthemes were identified during the data analysis process. Conclusion: The inquiry concluded by identifying four themes and subthemes: Blaming, Stigmatizing - Fearing, Doubting, and Spiritualizing - Praying. These themes connected best with the Reconceptualized uncertainty of illness theory (RUIT). The RUIT assisted the researcher in clarifying and further understanding the lived experience of the Haitians with MCI in South Florida.
