Factors influencing workplace collaboration and learning between resident doctors and senior nurses: A scoping review
This study examines the working and learning dynamics between resident doctors and senior nurses, with a focus on identifying factors that influence how resident doctors can learn more effectively from experienced nurses to enhance their training. A scoping review of current literature related to working experience between resident doctors and nurses was conducted using the PRISMA2009 checklist. This scoping review followed the JBI Preferred Repo…
Non-clinical Psychosocial Mental Health Support Programmes for People with Diverse Language and Cultural Backgrounds: A Critical Rapid Review
Low accessibility to mainstream psychosocial services disadvantages culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) populations, resulting in delayed care and high rates of unsupported psychological distress. Non-clinical interventions may play an important role in improving accessibility to psychosocial support, but what characterises best practice in this space remains unclear. This critical rapid review addressed this gap by searching for, and cr…
Reflections and Guidance on Using Ethnographic Approaches in Health and Care Research – Ten Researchers’ Diverse Insights
Ethnographic approaches to health and care research are invaluable. They offer rich insight into contextual and cultural factors that influence the health service, as well as the delivery of care within any given community, and recognise the centrality of the researcher in the process. Understanding the unfolding of real-life events, as well as interactions between people, space, technology and other affordances, is crucial to developing impactfu…
Sparking Change: Frictions as a Key Function of Ethnography for Healthcare Improvement
Anthropologists increasingly engage with healthcare systems, using ethnographic research as a critical tool for understanding and improving healthcare practices. The resulting interactions and collaborations between ethnographers, healthcare practitioners, and administrators often give rise to ‘frictions’—moments of tension, frustrations, misalignments, and misunderstandings. In physics, friction is the force that one object’s surface exerts over…
Deus Ex Machina: An Ethnographic Exploration of Technology, Death and Decision-Making in Respiratory Care
Noninvasive advanced respiratory support (NARS) is widely used in acute respiratory failure, including at the end of life, where its use is ethically and emotionally fraught. This ethnographic study examines how decisions to initiate, sustain or withdraw NARS are negotiated within the institutional and moral complexities of a UK hospital. Drawing on fieldwork including nonparticipant observation, reflective fieldnotes and composite narratives, th…
‘That's just how medicine is': A remote ethnographic study of Ireland's failure to meet the core work needs of its hospital doctors
This study focuses on hospital doctors' experiences of work during the pandemic. The context is the Irish health system, under considerable strain due to the pandemic and a legacy of austerity/under-funding. Although medicine is considered a prestigious job, hospital doctors often endure challenging working conditions and work-life imbalance. In this paper we consider how a narrative of ‘medicine-as-vocation’ is used to excuse challenging working…
Feeling like the enemy: The emotion management and alienation of hospital doctors
Illustrating the continued relevant of alienation, extending its application to doctors who disconnect to survive, we show how the socio-cultural ideals of the medical profession (expertise and self-sacrifice) are experienced through the emotion-management and self-estrangement of hospital doctors. Practically, the deterioration of hospital doctors' relationship with work is a threat to health systems and organizations. The paper highlights the i…
A catalyst for change: Developing a collaborative reflexive ethnographic approach to research with hospital doctors during the Covid-19 pandemic
The understanding of what ethnography looks like, and its purpose, is continuously evolving. COVID-19 posed a significant challenge to ethnographers, particularly those working in health-related research. Researchers have developed alternative forms of ethnography to overcome some of these challenges; we developed the Mobile Instant Messaging Ethnography (MIME) adaptation to ethnography in 2021 to overcome restrictions to our own research with ho…
How Do I See Myself? It’s Complicated”: Qualitatively Eliciting, Analyzing and Understanding Individuals’ Self-Attitudes towards Identity in an Australian Jewish Community
It can be difficult to define what “identity” means and encapsulates in groups and communities. This is particularly true in ethnic communities, where identity can overflow neat categories like religion, culture and nationality. Yet understanding what makes and shapes identity in a community can provide insight into its activities, tensions and motivations, aiding community research. In this paper, I document a methodology of the elicitation of s…
Object Based Learning in the Social Sciences: Three Approaches to Haptic Knowledge Making
Object-based learning, where students learn by hands-on interactive experiences with skills and objects, provides an active, multi-layered learning experience. Engaging haptic perceptual styles to build meaning and understanding through tactile stimuli, object-based learning can increase student engagement and satisfaction, and improve knowledge retention and higher-level critical thinking. This paper examines three case studies where haptic peda…
We’re alone in this together”: The anthropology of fear and Jewish attitudes to antisemitism
Social science literature contains a thread of theory on the experience and function of fear within society. However, despite rising global concerns about antisemitism, Jewish experiences of such fear within a multicultural framework, such as that in Australia, remains largely unexamined on a qualitative basis. Jewish individuals and organizations speak in specific ways about their fears of antisemitism, both inwardly to their communities and out…
Today Was Probably One of the Most Challenging Workdays I've Ever Had: Doing Remote Qualitative Research with Hospital Doctors During the Covid-19 Pandemic
In this article we outline how a team of qualitative researchers responded to the challenging circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic, describing how we successfully and speedily adopted remote/digital methods to research the experiences of hospital doctors. In 2020, we used Zoom to conduct qualitative interviews with 48 hospital doctors; in 2021, we used Zoom and WhatsApp to conduct a Mobile Instant Messaging Ethnography with 28 hospital doctors.…
We All Really Need to just Take a Breath”: Composite Narratives of Hospital Doctors’ Well-Being during the Covid-19 Pandemic
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic poses a challenge to the physical and mental well-being of doctors worldwide. Countries around the world introduced severe social restrictions, and significant changes to health service provision in the first wave of the pandemic to suppress the spread of the virus and prioritize healthcare for those who contracted it. This study interviewed 48 hospital doctors who worked in Ireland during the firs…
Negotiating and Performing "Jewish Australian" Identity in South-East Queensland's Jewish Community: Creolization, National Identity and Power
Secular Jewish Identity and Public Religious Participation within Australian Secular Multiculturalism
Many Australian Jews label their Jewish identity as secular. However, public representations of Jewish culture within Australian multiculturalism frequently highlight the religious practices of Judaism as markers of Jewish cultural authenticity. This study explores how secular Jews sometimes perform and reference Jewish religious practice when participating in communal events, and when identifying as Jewish to non-Jews in social interactions and …
