Bringing sociological theories and nursing practice together, The
Changing Shape of Nursing Practice develops a dynamic
conceptualisation of the nursing role which is rooted in the work
setting. It looks back to the factors which have shaped nursing
work in the past and forward to those which are likely to shape it
in the future.
Nurses' work is changing in two respects: in terms of the place
nursing occupies within the health care division of labor and in
terms of the routine shifting of work boundaries that nurses
experience in their daily work. Davina Allen draws on her detailed
observations of the reality of nursing work in a district general
hospital to explore these linked themes, focusing on five key work
boundaries:
-nurse: doctor
-nurse: manager
-nurse: sup worker
-nurse: patient
-nurse: nurse
"The" "Changing Shape of Nursing Practice" provides unique insight
into many of the tensions and dilemmas nurses routinely face and
the processes and constraints through which their work is
fashioned. It offers a new way of thinking about the nursing role
which is particularly relevant at a time when the scope of nursing
practice is expanding and when an integrated approach to health and
social care is seen as the key to the provision of improved
services.
