Exploring the use of mobile-device-based audio diaries for asynchronous data collection with nurses during a pandemic
During pandemics, physical distancing requirements and health care workers’ extended and irregular work hours may exclude many health care workers from studies using typical qualitative data collection methods. The aim of this project was to pilot the use of asynchronous smartphone-based qualitative data collection in research with nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. We describe the ethical considerations, study procedures, and lessons learned i…
The role of travel nursing in shifting nursing practice and careers
Divided Bodies
Invisible Visits
Church Is Important to Our Clients
Autonomy and selfhood are primary concerns for scholars of long-term care. Previous work has shown how organizational routines threaten client autonomy and disrupt access to the material and symbolic resources that ground the biography of the self. In this article, I examine how a group of African-American older adults within an adult day service center ameliorated these threats through religious expression. In most health care settings, religion…
Health Care in Crisis
I’m Not a Doctor. I’m a Nurse”
Boundary-work is constitutive of both jurisdiction and professional identities. For groups attempting domain expansion, changed boundaries present risks for group cohesion. In this article, I examine the boundary-work that nurse-practitioners-in-training perform to negotiate the contradictions of moving into the new terrain of diagnostic medicine. I found that students engaged in reparative boundary-work that re-inscribed the new terrain of the n…
Making A Career
In this study, I apply the perspective of gendered organizations to nursing and use ethnographically informed career biographies of nurse practitioners, a subset of highly credentialed nurses, to investigate the reproduction of gender by inclusionary institutional practices. My findings illustrate how nursing's historically subordinate position as a female profession has led to institutional arrangements and aspirational resources for contemporar…
Testing for Racial/Ethnic Differences in the Association Between Childhood Socioeconomic Position and Adult Adiposity
Objectives. We tested the association between 2 measures of childhood socioeconomic position (SEP) and adult body mass index (BMI), stratified by race and ethnicity. Methods. We used regression analyses to examine associations between adult BMI and 2 measures of childhood SEP (maternal education and whether the head of the child's household was working class), adjusted for a robust set of adult SEP measures, in a sample of 2068 adults from Los An…
