Postmodern and Post-structural Ideas in American Nursing Texts I
Published in Olga Petrovskaya, Nursing Theory, Postmodernism, Post-structuralism, and Foucault, 2023
Laura Dzurec sought to address American metatheoretical debates, which in the 1980s focused on the types of “knowing” and “paradigms of science” suitable for the discipline. Conflicting perspectives of “positivism” and “phenomenology” can be reconciled, Dzurec (1989) suggested, by casting them, respectively, as dominant and subjugated knowledges à la Foucault. In this way, novel phenomenological, qualitative nursing research can be recognized on a par with well-established quantitative research. Dzurec's call for a diversity of nursing scholarship struck a chord with some Canadian nurse academics who rejected the methodological and theoretical divisiveness in the American academy (Stajduhar et al., 2001; Thorne et al., 1998, 2004) and advocated “critical multiplism” instead (Letourneau & M. Allen, 1999).
Leveraging a Unique Nurse Identifier to Improve Outcomes

Codified values are needed in all research as data points for the foundation of quantitative research that results in measurement of clinical-based phenomena to develop new care models, processes, policies and theories. The purpose of nursing research is to impart and enrich evidence that informs practice including nurses' actions and decisions in direct patient care and administration. Novel uses of data in scholarly inquiry, including a unique nurse identifier as a data source, will garner robust findings for nurse researchers to contribute to nursing science regarding the value and impact of nursing care on patient outcomes. Moving forward, nurses must use data in innovative ways to transform patient care and operations that lead to healthier outcomes.
Mastering the interview

It is therefore important to have a good understanding of the great differences within the professions and to acknowledge the indispensable role that nurses play: Nursing is a very diverse profession in itself and nurses are trained for many of the technical aspects of patient care – from administering drugs on the hospital ward, to changing dressings for patients at their homes and assisting surgeons in theatre.Doctors are ultimately responsible for patients and are required to diagnose and formulate management plans for each. Their job involves more problem-solving and the application of both broader and deeper scientific knowledge. Some senior specialist nurses now also have similar responsibilities but most do not. Nurses and other health-care professionals work alongside doctors to provide the optimal care and it is important that there is communication between all parties to ensure this.Doctors are able to undertake medical research, which can improve the diagnostic and therapeutic options for patients. Nursing research is related more to improving nursing practices.
The Time, Places, and Activities of Nurses in a Psychiatric Inpatient Context - A Time and Motion Study with a Time-geographic Perspective
Published in Issues in Mental Health Nursing, 2023
Andreas Glantz, Charlotta Sunnqvist, Karin Örmon
As nursing research is expanding and extending its horizons, new perspectives are being explored. One of these perspectives includes geography and certain research has taken on a decidedly geographical orientation (Andrews et al., 2013; Andrews & Shaw, 2008). Health geography has until fairly recently had a quantitative focus, but Andrews (2003) claims that in recent years a more qualitative approach, focussing on the dynamic between health and place, has also emerged. Malone (2003) argues that nursing practice has spatial aspects and since the relationship to the patient is central for this practice, sustaining a meaningful proximity to the patient is at least in part something nursing practice is dependent upon. This makes the geographical aspect of nursing research an interesting area of exploration.
Inequities along the Depression Care Cascade in African American Women: An Integrative Review
Published in Issues in Mental Health Nursing, 2021
Nicole Beaulieu Perez, Yzette Lanier, Allison Squires
Our findings suggest several important implications for nursing research, education, and practice. Future research should prioritize larger samples in order to conduct race by sex analysis to inform how study findings relate to AAW specifically. Improved measures are also required to better capture symptomatology of depression in AAW. Researchers should also consider the importance of distinguishing declined care from missed care in study design and selection of measures. Failure to address this distinction will continue to limit clarity and may perpetuate the tendency to point to patient preference or cultural norms as the default reason for observed disparities. Additional research is also needed to describe how the cultural ideal of the “strong Black woman” influences treatment-seeking and care in AAW.
Burnout and psychological distress among nurses working in primary health care clinics in West Bank-Palestine
Published in International Journal of Mental Health, 2020
Based on the results of the study, some recommendations were made with specific reference to nursing research, nursing education and nursing practice. These recommendations are: First, encourage the Ministry of Health to communicate with the relevant health professionals to establish regular stress management programs for nurses and other health personnel in the West Bank. Second, allow nurses to choose their workplace and even change it every year so they do not feel bored and urge the Palestinian Ministry of Health to increase the number of staff working in primary health care facilities, especially midwives, in order to distribute and reduce work pressure. Third, establish a system of incentives and rewards for qualified nurses and midwives working in primary health care to encourage efficient and professional work, and involve the nurses and midwives in taking administrative decisions, especially with regards to the clinics in which they work. Finally, determine the job description for nurses and midwives working in primary health care. Most nurses and midwives perform many tasks within clinics that do not belong to the nursing profession, such as accounting, registration, statistics, dispensing medication to the patients, and cleaning the clinic.
