  1. Relational ethics of delirium care: Findings from a hospice ethnography.David Kenneth Wright, Susan Brajtman & Mary Ellen Macdonald - 2018 - Nursing Inquiry 25 (3):e12234.
    Delirium, a common syndrome in terminally ill people, presents specific challenges to a good death in end‐of‐life care. This paper examines the relational engagement between hospice nurses and their patients in a context of end‐of‐life delirium. Ethnographic fieldwork spanning 15 months was conducted at a freestanding residential hospice in eastern Canada. A shared value system was apparent within the nursing community of hospice; patients’ comfort and dignity were deemed most at stake and therefore commanded nurses’ primary attention. This overarching commitment (...)

  • Reconciling concepts of space and person‐centred care of the older person with cognitive impairment in the acute care setting.Carole Rushton & David Edvardsson - 2017 - Nursing Philosophy 18 (3):e12142.
    Although a large body of literature exists propounding the importance of space in aged care and care of the older person with dementia, there is, however, only limited exploration of the ‘acute care space’ as a particular type of space with archetypal constraints that maybe unfavourable to older people with cognitive impairment and nurses wanting to provide care that is person‐centred. In this article, we explore concepts of space and examine the implications of these for the delivery of care to (...)

  • Reconciling conceptualizations of relationships and person‐centred care for older people with cognitive impairment in acute care settings.Carole Rushton & David Edvardsson - 2018 - Nursing Philosophy 19 (2):e12169.
    Relationships are central to enacting person‐centred care of the older person with cognitive impairment. A fuller understanding of relationships and the role they play facilitating wellness and preserving personhood is critical if we are to unleash the productive potential of nursing research and person‐centred care. In this article, we target the acute care setting because much of the work about relationships and older people with cognitive impairment has tended to focus on relationships in long‐term care. The acute care setting is (...)

  • Written reports of adverse events in acute care—A discourse analysis.Anna Gyberg, Ingela Henoch, Margret Lepp, Helle Wijk & Kerstin Ulin - 2019 - Nursing Inquiry 26 (4):e12298.
    Adverse health care events are a global public health issue despite major efforts, and they have been acknowledged as a complex concern. The aim of this study was to explore the construction of unsafe care using accounts of adverse events concerning the patient, as reported by patients, relatives, and health care professionals. Twenty‐nine adverse events reported in an acute care setting in a Swedish university hospital were analyzed through discourse analysis, where the construction of what was considered to be real (...)

  • How nurses’ use of language creates meaning about healthcare users and nursing practice.Sherry Dahlke & Kathleen F. Hunter - 2020 - Nursing Inquiry 27 (3):e12346.
    Nursing practice occurs in the context of conversations with healthcare users, other healthcare professionals, and healthcare institutions. This discussion paper draws on symbolic interactionism and Fairclough's method of critical discourse analysis to examine language that nurses use to describe the people in their care and their practice. We discuss how nurses’ use of language constructs meaning about healthcare users and their own work. Through language, nurses are articulating what they believe about healthcare users and nursing practice. We argue that the (...)

  • Discourses of aggression in forensic mental health: a critical discourse analysis of mental health nursing staff records.Lene L. Berring, Liselotte Pedersen & Niels Buus - 2015 - Nursing Inquiry 22 (4):296-305.
    Managing aggression in mental health hospitals is an important and challenging task for clinical nursing staff. A majority of studies focus on the perspective of clinicians, and research mainly depicts aggression by referring to patient-related factors. This qualitative study investigates how aggression is communicated in forensic mental health nursing records. The aim of the study was to gain insight into the discursive practices used by forensic mental health nursing staff when they record observed aggressive incidents. Textual accounts were extracted from (...)
