Abstract |
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic, systemic inflammatory disease of the connective tissues. People with rheumatoid arthritis often experience chronic pain, chronic fatigue and functional impairment for a large apart of their lives. The cause of rheumatoid arthritis is unknown, with three times more women than men being affected. There are many women who live with rheumatoid arthritis throughout much of their adult lives. Women with rheumatoid arthritis face the challenges and stresses of parenting, partnerships, and employment along with the need to cope with a chronic and increasingly debilitating disease.A review of the literature related to rheumatoid arthritis reveals a dearth of qualitative research, with few studies that focus specifically on women even though they constitute a significant percentage of the client group. Little is known from the clients' perspective of what it is like to live with chronic rheumatoid arthritis. This study, a single-participant case study using a phenomenological analysis, explores one woman's' reality of living with rheumatoid arthritis. As this woman's story unfolds, it is revealed how daily living with rheumatoid arthritis had been incorporated into a new way of being-in-the world. Her way of being-in-the-world is such that rheumatoid arthritis is very much a reality, impacting on most aspects of her life. Yet it does not dominate, as she continues with a very full and active life despite this disease |

Abstract |
This study investigates the induction of comprehensive Nurses into a professional culture during their polytechnic education and the first year of Hospital practise. A critical theory framework combined with case study method is used to demonstrate the ways in which social forces constrain individual and professional action. It is argued that a more socially critical approach to the design of Nursing curricula might begin to transform some of the social structures which presently inhibit and constrain the professional choices and actions of student and graduate Nurse |

Abstract |
This study examines the practice world of twenty two registered nurses working in medical and surgical wards of an acute general hospital in New Zealand. It is argued that nursing practice is a complex, context-specific, activity and needs to be studied using methods that do not assume an objective, context-free reality.The work of Patricia Benner (1984) guided this study which utilized a qualitative research approach to enter the lived world of nursing practice. Through descriptions of work days and a sharing of clinical exemplars, an understanding of the broader context of nursing practice was gained, areas of skilled performance in nursing emerged, and the meaning of making a difference for the nurses in the study examined. The central role of mutual advice and support in facilitating significant incidents in practice was apparent.An examination of the types of experiences which challenge current practice and change it in some way provided insight into the importance of experience in developing clinical expertise and the vital role of local knowledge in facilitating practice. Nursing practice emerged as crucial to patient welfare and safety in the acute care setting |
