摘要:

AbstractContinuity of patient care between hospital and community is becoming increasingly important with a trend to shorter hospital stays and more care in the community. This paper describes how community nurses determine patient care provision after hospital discharge. The research presented is a component of a larger study exploring the interface of hospital and community nursing services. Semi-focused interviews were conducted with twelve community nurses to elicit their perceptions and experiences of discharge planning. The findings revealed that although discharge planning influenced continuity of care, community nurses make autonomous decisions about the provision of care to patients in the community setting.

摘要:

Abstract‘Telling’our lives as they happen to us is an extremely pervasive activity in our social world. Through the stones which suture together the multiple ways we can make sense of a life as a nurse, is woven the fabric of a culture. Clinical nursing culture is, as yet, poorly understood and little theorised. By appropriating narrative as a research technology I suggest that we might be better placed to first articulate, and then critique, the complexity and diversity of clinical practice through a postmodern poetics and politics of orality.

摘要:

AbstractAgency nurses and their work has received little attention in research in Australia. The study seeks to expand on the current literature from the United Kingdom and the United States that is predominantly personal accounts of individual nurses’experiences of agency work.The descriptive study explores four registered nurses’experiences of working through a nursing agency. Findings identified that agency work met the needs of the four women at that particular time in their lives. The concept of control over work scheduling, as described in much of the literature, was experienced by all four women. However, they indicated a lack of professional autonomy and isolation in their practice. Issues such as accessing continuing education and maintaining skills were identified as problems associated with agency work.

摘要:

AbstractAssisted Reproductive Technology, despite poor outcomes in the treatment of infertility, is poised to take on a new supplementary role to genetic engineering. As an extreme example of medical/reductionist philosophy it is diametrically opposed to the emerging commitment to holism within the nursing profession. Nurses in Australia have been noticeably absent from the debate, research and decision making that has occurred about this technology, yet the implications for professional practice are far-reaching.

摘要:

AbstractIn the process of carrying out feminist research some method and methodological issues have surfaced. These issues are discussed within the context of work in progress exploring the embodied experience of large body size for nine New Zealand women who are medically deemed to be obese.The applicability of feminist research in this and other settings is argued and the specific issues considered. These include aspects of objectivity in feminist research and insertion of myself into the research process and presentation of findings. Mutuality, thematic analysis and the beneficial effects of the research are also discussed.
