| Abstract |
This thesis is about what the author terms the 'invisible bodies of nursing'. The physical body of the nurse, the body of practice, and the body of knowledge. The physical body of the nurse is absent in most nursing literature, it is sometimes inferred but seldom discussed. The contention is that the physical body of the nurse is invisible because it is tacit. Much nursing practice is invisible because it is perceived by many nurses to be inarticulable and is carried out within a private discourse of nursing, silently and secretly. Nursing knowledge is invisible because it is not seen as being valid or authoritative or sanctioned as a legitimate discourse by the dominant discourse. These issues are approach through an evolving 'specular' lens. Luce Irigaray's philosophy of the feminine and her deconstructing and reconstructing of psychoanalytic structures for women inform this work. Michel Foucault's genealogical approach to analysing discourses is utilized, along with Maurice Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology. Nursing's struggle for recognition is ongoing. The author discusses strategies that nurses could use to make themselves more 'visible' in healthcare structures. The exploration of the embodied self of the nurse and through this the embodied knowledge of nursing is nascent. |

| Abstract |
This thesis reviews the role of primary health care nurses, who have an opportunity to play a unique role in teaching, touching and empowering families with newly discharged pre-term babies. Birth of a baby earlier than 37 weeks gestation ushers in a period of uncertainty and stress for parents. Uncertainties may centre on whether their infant will survive and what ongoing growth and developmental issues their infant will face. |

| Abstract |
This thesis presents the job of psychiatric nursing from the nurse's point of view, as derived from the author's personal experience and from interviews with thirty five other staff within a particular psychiatric institution.The first part of the thesis is reconstructed narrative account of an afternoon and a day shift in an acute admission ward. In the second part, the basic situation on the ward and some of the exigencies of nurse-patient and nurse-staff relations are discussed from structuralist and strategic conduct perspectives.The discussion that follows Anthony Giddens' (1976, 1979, 1984) conceptual framework of power, legitimation and signification, with particular attention to the strategic implications of ward routines, nursing practices, and interpersonal relations, as well as the duality of clinical and moralistic interpretive themes. The third part of the thesis 'the nurse's progress' over time. Characteristic changes in understanding and awareness take place with the movement from the 'backwards' to the 'acute' area and from the student to staff nurse. This is portrayed as a 'moral career' analogous to that suggested by Goffman (1968) for psychiatric patients; marked by 'happenings' that generate revised conceptions of self and others, and including those experiences of duality and contradiction discussed in part Two. While acknowledging the diversity of nurses' attitudes and approaches, with variations according to individual temperament, past experiences and the current setting, the suggestion is made of a common and distinctive 'meta-awareness' that develops with the fob |

| Abstract |
Eighty alcohol and/or drug dependent women who were consecutive admissions to an outpatient alcohol and drug service were interviewed with the aim of gathering information regarding childhood adversity, psychiatric comorbidity and alcohol and drug history, including extent of treatment and alcohol and drug related criminality. A secondary aim of the study was to investigate associations between both the multiplicity of alcohol and drug dependence diagnosis and the presence of psychiatric comorbidity in relation to exposure to childhood adversity, including sexual, physical and emotional abuse.The data demonstrate that the study sample was a relatively severe group of alcohol and drug dependent women. A sizeable percentage came from backgrounds characterised by parental separation, conflict and alcohol and drug problems. Many were regularly exposed to physical abuse perpetrated by both parents or main parental figures and over two-thirds were exposed to some form of sexual abuse within their first 15 years. Sixty percent had been dependent on more than one psychoactive substance, with half having undergone previous alcohol and drug treatment. The women also presented with substantial histories of criminal convictions, with a quarter having served a prison sentence. The results indicate the presence of extensive psychiatric comorbidity in the sample. Two-thirds of the women met current DSM-IV criteria forat least one of the following Axis I disorders: major depressive syndrome, social phobia or bulimia nervosa, while nearly half had antisocial personality disorder. More importantly, significant associations were found regarding the presence of psychiatric comorbidity in relation to four measures of severe childhood adversity, i.e. childhood sexual, physical and emotional abuse and parental problems. Multiplicity of alcohol and drug dependence diagnosis was associated with severe emotional abuse, severe parental problems andpsychiatric comorbidity. Emotional abuse during childhood was the most pervasive indicator of comorbidity and multiplicity of alcohol and/or drug dependence. The main implication for clinical practice arising from the results of this study is the need for the development of a broader approach to alcohol and drug service provision. In order to achieve positive treatment outcomes, alcohol and drug service may need to routinely screen and plan treatment for unresolved childhood trauma, psychiatric disorder and other problems related to alcohol and drug use in all clients presenting for alcohol and drug treatment |
