  Title (up) Doing phenomenological research collaboratively Type Journal Article
  Year 2004 Publication Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing Abbreviated Journal Wintec Research Archive  
  Volume 35 Issue 4 Pages 176-181  
  Keywords Qualiltative research; Nursing research; New graduate nurses  
  Abstract The purpose of this article is twofold. The first is to clarify some of the challenges experienced while conducting collaborative research and describe the steps taken to ensure consistency between the purpose of the research and the phenomenological research design used to explore the learning that nursing students acquire in their final clinical practicum. Second, it was thought that by illuminating this learning, registered nurses working as preceptors and those supporting new graduates could gain insight into the complexities of learning the skills of safe and competent practice from the student's perspective. This insight is essential in creating a strategy between education and practice to minimise the duplication of learning opportunities and lessen the cost of supporting newly registered nurses, which may be at the expense of investment in the professional development of experienced registered nurses.

  Title (up) Doing what no normal woman would do Type
  Year 1999 Publication Abbreviated Journal Department of Film,Media &Cultural Studies Griffit  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords  
  Abstract This text begins with a discourse analysis of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (fourth edition, 1994 – DSM -IV- to illustrate the discursive construction of mental disorder. The analysis identifies how productivity, moderation, entariness and rationality are constructed by this psychiatric discourse as the fundamental attributes of normality. It is argued that this discursive construction of normality has particular implications for the subject positions available to women.The text explores how those subject positions are constituted by analysing the narratives of women who have been diagnosed as having a mental disorder. Its object is to explore how the categories 'mental disorder' and 'women' are constituted; the effect this has on some women's experiences; and to offer a feminist interpretation of those experiences. The text explores the meaning of these women's experiences and proposes that their responses can be regarded as tactical responses to the non-recognition, or disconfirming recognition, accorded to the subject positions available to them.The women's tactical responses although taking different forms, reveal some commonalities in their responses to a lack of recognition for their performances: shame regarding the body which marks them as women; a sense of meaningless and emptiness in the available performances; a sense of themselves as objects for the use of others; passive performances as self-protective tactics; a need to suppress anger; and a tension between cultural expectations of normality and their own subjective experiences. The tactical responses that these women had employed take the form of over-conformity, withdrawal and resistance. They reflect that Sass (1992:58) describes as attempts to escape the 'form of the real'. It is the women's body which establishes her engendered subjectivity and it is through the body that the tensions related to her expected performances emerge. Each women's tactical response is imbued with multiple and sometimes contradictory meanings that may represent their ambivalence in relational to the cultural expectations for productive, moderate, unitary and rational performances. To enable the meaning of the women's distress to emerge it is necessary that it be recognised by interpretations that reflect their multiple and contradictory form.Alternative readings of these women's tactical responses position the desire for recognition as central. It proposes that it is necessary to pay attention to both the literal and figurative functions of language. The possibility of 'advancing our understanding of social life' (Gergen, women constructed as mentally disordered. These readings of the narratives require an understanding of the context and construction of the narrator's life and opens up the possibility for multiple understandings that do not necessarily privilege productivity, moderation, unitariness and rationality.By attending to the significance of the women's narratives this text proposes that the DSM-IV's (1994) construction of mental disorder of effectively marginalises women's experiences of their culturally determined subject positions. It acknowledges the need to understand how women symbolize their distress in a way that creates and communicates meaning

  Title (up) Dying to know: Advancing palliative care nursing competence with education in elderly health settings Type
  Year 2007 Publication Abbreviated Journal ResearchArchive@Victoria  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Professional development; Nursing specialties; Palliative care; Nursing; Education  
  Abstract This paper explores the benefits of using education as one means to advance palliative care competence for nurses. A literature search was conducted revealing numerous educational initiatives and approaches have been developed to improve palliative care. Benefits include improved nursing knowledge, confidence and competence which directly correlate with improved patient outcomes. Accompanying the shift of palliative care from hospices to varied health care providers globally, are disparities in care provision. The literature suggests that reasons for such disparities include insufficient specialised palliative care knowledge and skills of nurses to effectively deliver this care within generalist health settings and lack of information for caregivers. In response, approaches aimed at improving palliative care include reviewing, redefining and implementing nursing roles, education courses, and theoretical frameworks to inform practice and improve outcomes. This paper focuses on the benefits of offering tailored palliative care education in work settings to improve patient care. One entrepreneurial education initiative aimed at advancing palliative nursing and which is currently being implemented in aged care contexts is shared. Careful strategic planning and working more collaboratively between all stakeholders, is strongly recommended in order to manage current and future challenges. Advancing palliative nursing care using appropriate education is achievable and beneficial but is fraught with complexities.
