Do nurses still care? In today's inflexible, fast-paced and more
accountable workplace where biomedical and clinical models dominate
health care practice, is there room for emotional labour? Based on
original empirical research, this book delves into personal
accounts of nurses' emotion expressions and experiences as they
emerge from everyday nursing practice, and illustrates how their
emotional labour is adapting in response to a constantly changing
work environment. The book begins by re-examining Arlie
Hochschild's sociological notion of emotional labour, and combines
it with Margaret Archer's understanding of emotion and the inner
dialogue. In an exploration of the nature of emotional labour, its
historical and political context, and providing original, but
easily recognisable, typology, Catherine Theodosius emphasises that
it is emotion - complex, messy and opaque - that drives emotional
labour within health care. She suggests that rather than being
marginalised, emotional labour in nursing is frequently found in
places that are hidden or unrecognised. By understanding emotion
itself, which is fundamentally interactive and communicative, she
argues that emotional labour is intrinsically linked to personal
and social identity. The suggestion is made that the nursing
profession has a responsibility to include emotional labour within
personal and professional development strategies to ensure the care
needs of the vulnerable are met. This innovative volume will be of
interest to nursing, health care and sociology students,
researchers and professionals.
