  Title Breaking-in bodies: Teaching, nursing, initiations or what's love got to do with it? Type Journal Article
  Year 2005 Publication Contemporary Nurse Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 18 Issue 3 Pages 292-299  
  Keywords Nursing; Education; Psychology; Nurse-patient relations; Students  
  Abstract This paper discusses how students become able to work with sick patients for whom they may feel disgust or discomfort. It is a sustained engagement with the literature on abjection and disgust and is not the outcome of evaluation research. It considers the role of problem-based learning pedagogy in facilitating students' negotiation of their own discomfort and horror, and describes experiences which enable them to approach abject patients with more comfort and less disgust. The paper argues the importance of creating spaces where students can explore issues which are distressing and disturbing so that they will feel able to remain in nursing.
