Lack of challenge to substantive criteria at mental health tribunals
Mental health tribunals provide legal safeguards for compulsory treatment for mental illness. Despite one of these tribunals' purposes being to give people subject to compulsory treatment a "day in court", research has shown that individuals' experience of mental health tribunals is highly negative. To understand these negative experiences, we conducted a multi-stakeholder study of the Consent and Capacity Board, a mental health tribunal in Ontar…
Nurse practitioner integration in primary health care
Nurse Practitioner (NP) integration within primary health care (PHC) involves complex relational, organizational, political, and power dynamics. Despite extensive research on factors influencing NP integration, the processes through which it is negotiated in practice remain largely unexplored. Greater attention is therefore needed to understand how role integration is negotiated in practice. To address this gap, this paper applies Callon’s four-s…
Constructing Research Quality
The Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research (COREQ) checklist was designed to enhance quality in the reporting of interview and focus group studies, and it is widely endorsed by journals and publishers. However, it has also been heavily critiqued for its design and application in qualitative health research communities. In this article, we conduct detailed critical text analyses of eight articles and their accompanying self-repor…
La divulgation en santé comme technique de soi
En santé, les alertes éthiques visent à signaler des risques possibles ou des situations avérées minant la sécurité ou les droits des patients et du personnel, permettant ainsi aux établissements de prévenir ou corriger des situations contraires à leur mandat. Pour les lanceurs d’alerte toutefois, elles prennent un sens plus profond. En nous basant sur des récits de divulgateurs infirmiers recueillis dans le cadre d’une étude qualitative, nous su…
Linguistic Characteristics of Texts
Critical discourse analysis is a set of theoretical and methodological devices used to analyze and challenge how we construct reality by looking for meaning behind words. The process of conducting critical discourse analysis is complex and, in the field of nursing research, is often carried out without regarding the different dimensions entwined in discourse. In this vein, the dimension that concerns the linguistic characteristics of texts is a h…
L’accès aux soins de santé des communautés de langue officielle en situation minoritaire (CLOSM) au Canada
Cette étude présente une recension des écrits sur les expériences des patients et des prestataires de soins en ce qui concerne les services de santé au Canada offerts aux communautés de langue officielle en situation minoritaire (CLOSM). Mandatée par le Bureau d’appui aux communautés de langue officielle (BACLO), cette recension fait constat des défis et des obstacles qui entravent l’offre de services de santé et l’accès aux soins pour les CLOSM …
Biopower under a state of exception
During the COVID-19 pandemic, restrictions for visitors and caregivers in healthcare settings and long-term care (LTC) facilities were enacted in the larger context of public health policies that included physical distancing and shelter-in-place orders. Older persons residing in LTC facilities constituted over half of the mortality statistics across Canada during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Using the poststructuralist work of Agamben…
A Methodological and Practical Guide to Study Peripheral Voices in Qualitative Research
The selection of the voices that make up a qualitative research project is of great importance since the knowledge gained about a certain object of study depends on it. Qualitative researchers focus on the voices around which the purposes of their research explicitly revolve. However, they do not customarily pay attention to peripheral voices, which are primordial to understanding the complexity of the phenomenon studied. In this article, we fill…
Organisational Justice and Political Agency among Nurses in Public Healthcare Organisations
Nurses are rarely treated as equals in the social, professional, clinical, and administrative life of healthcare organisations. The primary objective of this study is to explore nurses' perceptions of organisational justice in public healthcare institutions in Majorca, Balearic Islands, Spain, and to analyse the ways in which they exercise their political agency to challenge the institutional order when it fails to reflect their professional etho…
The forensic patient's moral career as a measure of institutional disciplinary processes
This paper reports the findings of a qualitative research conducted in a Canadian medium-security forensic psychiatric institution. The purpose of the study was to explore the way patient subjectivities are shaped in the admissions unit of the selected facility, using nursing progress notes as a primary source of data. More detailed findings from this study were published elsewhere. In this paper, I wish to focus specifically on the way a patient…
Reformulating Lead-Based Paint as a Problem in Canada
Leaded gasoline was officially removed from the Canadian market in December 1990. The removal of a major lead source and the subsequent decline in children's blood lead levels marked an important transition point and sparked the emergence of new discourse on lead in Canada. Today, childhood lead poisoning is viewed as a problem of the past or a problem of the United States. Sparse Canadian surveillance data supported this view. Moreover, tensions…
Sovereign power, spectacle and punishment
The purpose of this paper is to engage with the reader in a theoretical reflection regarding the use of the seclusion room as a punitive nursing intervention (behaviour modification technique for instance). To set the stage, we explore the internal structure and functioning (culture) of the psychiatric institution – as total institution – from a Goffmanian perspective. Then, drawing on the work of the late French philosopher Michel Foucault, we i…
Agents of care and agents of the state
Aim. This paper presents a conceptual analysis of the concept of bio‐power in the context of nursing, including a critique of the widespread rhetoric that nursing is deprived of power and consequently is an apolitical agency. Background. Traditionally, power tends to be defined in terms of repression, interdiction and punishment. On the contrary, work by Michel Foucault with regard to bio‐power brings into evidence the productive and positive nat…
