Research shows that racism affects the working lives of nurses and
nurse academics, as well as healthcare service delivery and
outcomes. This book looks at the impact of racism, from experiences
of microaggression to discrimination and structural and
institutionalised racism. Focusing on the work of five researchers
and practitioners who have chosen to address and investigate the
racism they experience, witness or observe in the UK’s National
Health Service and Universities, this book includes personal
reflections on their findings. The substantive chapters are framed
by a discussion of policy and research on racism, thoughts on
research supervision within this field and a drawing together of
the key themes developed through the book. Giving voice to
nurses’ and lecturers’ responses to racism in nursing education
and practice, this is an important contribution for students,
researchers and practitioners with an interest in health
inequalities, healthcare organisations, research methods and
workforce development.
This Reader reproduces fifteen classic and influential accounts of nursing research selected by a panel of senior nurse researchers and teachers. It provides accompanying commentary explaining why the research is good, how it relates to the research tradition and the influence and impact of the piece of research. Introductory and concluding chapters review the literature on the evaluation of research and the position of nursing research in relation to that conducted in medicine generally. Exemplary Research for Nursing and Midwifery provides an invaluablevade mecum for any nurse of midwife embarking on the research process.
The nursing profession is under pressure. Financial demands,
student debt, the target culture, political scrutiny in the wake of
major care scandals and increasing workloads are all taking their
toll on professional morale and performance. This timely book
considers the meaning of resilience in this adverse context and
explains why measures to preserve individual nurses' and students'
well-being are flawed if they don't take into account wider
political and organizational perspectives. Arguing that healthcare
can be thought about and experienced differently, this book:
provides a summary of the latest research on resilience, explaining
its relevance and also limitations for nurses; considers debates
about compassion and highlights the effects of policy agendas on
nurse education and nursing work; re-evaluates nursing's
professional identity, including where nursing has come from and
the effects of class, gender and race on its powerbase; assesses
the role of politics and social media, both in driving change and
feeding resistance; and introduces the idea of critical resilience
as a complete framework for resisting bullying and fostering
survival and change in the nursing workforce. Direct, upbeat, at
times provocative and witty, this agenda-setting book enables
nurses to understand why they feel the way they do. It also lists
what opportunities are available to them to change, resist and
survive in what has become a complex, challenging - if still deeply
rewarding - line of work.
Ideas about resilience and identity continue to be promoted,
discussed and debated in nursing. This book uses narratives to
explore these complex and important concepts, unsettling our
certainties and opening up new perspectives on what they might mean
and involve. This engaging book recounts direct and vivid stories
told by or about nurses. These vignettes discuss nursing's ideals
without idealising them and show nursing work and the lives of
nurses in all their complexity. They include contributions from
mental health nurses, a former nurse, student nurses, a migrant
nurse and a whistle-blowing nurse, among others. The book ends with
chapter-by-chapter contextual material to promote reflection,
discussion and further reading. Written with nursing students
preparing to transition to the workplace and professional status in
mind, this thought-provoking book is also suitable for nurses and
nurse academics interested in resilience and issues around
professional identity.
