Elucidating the Ruling Relations of Nurses’ Work in Labor and Delivery: An Institutional Ethnography
Obstetrics is a well-known area for malpractice and medical-legal claims, specifically as they relate to injuries the baby suffers during the intrapartum period. There is a direct implication for nurses' work in labor and delivery because the law recognizes that monitoring fetal well-being during labor is a nursing responsibility. Using institutional ethnography, we uncovered how two powerful ruling discourses, namely biomedical and medical-legal…
Using Institutional Ethnography to Explicate the Everyday Realities of Nurses’ Work in Labor and Delivery
Fetal health surveillance is a significant everyday work responsibility for labor and delivery nurses. Here, nursing care is increasingly focused on technological interventions, particularly with the use of continuous electronic fetal monitoring. Using Institutional Ethnography, we explored how nurses conduct this work and uncovered the ruling relations coordinating how nurses "do" fetal health surveillance. Analysis revealed how these powerful r…
How Community Nurses Manage Ethical Conflicts: A Grounded Theory Study
Research is limited on how nurses in community settings manage ethical conflicts. To address this gap, we conducted a study to uncover the process of behaviors enacted by community nurses when experiencing ethical conflicts. Guided by Glaserian grounded theory, we developed a theoretical model (Moral Compassing) that enables us to explain the process how 24 community nurses managed challenging ethical situations. We discovered that the main conce…

Establishing Therapeutic Relationships With Vulnerable and Potentially Stigmatized Clients
Grounded theory was employed to elucidate how public health nurses (PHNs) develop therapeutic relationships with vulnerable and potentially stigmatized clients, specifically, single mothers living in low-income situations. We named the emerging theoretical model Targeting Essence: Pragmatic Variation of the Therapeutic Relationship, after discovering that although PHNs strove to achieve relational goals, their attention was primarily focused on t…
The Evocative Power of Projective Techniques for the Elicitation of Meaning
A unique project was undertaken by doctoral and postdoctoral students, and their mentor, from diverse backgrounds in health and social sciences to explore their past experiences as participants in a qualitative research training initiative called EQUIPP (Enhancing Qualitative Understanding of Illness Processes and Prevention). The purpose of the project was to create a symbolic representation of the EQUIPP program through the use of projective te…
Tiredness, Fatigue, and Exhaustion in the Context of a Major Depressive Disorder
Framed in a multimethod design using ethnoscience and grounded theory, the purpose of this study was to characterize the attributes of tiredness, fatigue, and exhaustion, and to explore their influences on illness experiences in individuals with major depressive disorder. Two domains, mind (attributes: cognitive function, sleep quality, emotional reactivity, social interaction) and body (attributes: stamina and control over body processes), were …
Health Literacy as an Empowerment Tool for Low-Income Mothers
Health literacy commonly refers to the extent to which one can access and accurately interpret healthcare information. Statistics reveal that limited health literacy is prevalent among those of lower socioeconomic status. When working with low-income mothers, it is recommended in this article that healthcare professionals operationalize a broader conceptualization of health literacy than assessment of reading levels and translating knowledge of r…
