Foster, P. M. (2020). What undergraduate nurse education actually teaches student nurses about people named as older: A Foucauldian discourse analysis. Doctoral thesis, Auckland University of Technology, Auckland. Retrieved September 21, 2024, from http://hdl.handle.net/10292/13298
Abstract: Traces the origins of gerontology knowledge among student nurses while considering how people designated as older are perceived by the student nurse, and the effects of functional decline and biomedical discourses on their views of older people when on clinical placement in aged residential care (ARC) facilities. Hghlights the contested domain of gerontology knowledge to generate dialogue about how older age is actually represented in student nurse education, as the current iteration perpetuates stereotypical assumptions about older age.

An exploration of how nurse education practices may influence nursing students' perception of working in aged care as a registered nurse: A Foucauldian discourse analysis. Nursing Praxis in Aotearoa New Zealand, 38(2). Retrieved September 21, 2024, from http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.36951/27034542
Abstract: Argues that undergraduate nurse education contributes to the problem of too few nurses choosing to work in aged care, by constructing working in aged care as a lower-status or less valuable area of work than other health-care areas. Examines the issue using Foucauldian discourse analysis to explore the dominant discourses being deployed in relation to clinical experience in aged care. Collects data through semi-structured interviews with 10 senior academic staff members from NZ tertiary institutions. Analyses interview data to reveal how a 'nurse education discourse' and a 'work-ready discourse' were shaping perceptions of aged care as a clinical experience in a variety of ways. Suggests that how and why aged care is utilised as a space to learn a range of nursing skills has the unintended effect of devaluing and discouraging employment in aged care settings.

Abstract: Examines the nature of social-political knowing in nursing, or the “where-in” as proposed by Jill White (1995; 2014), whereby the nurse looks beyond therapeutic relationships towards the circumstances that compromise health and wellbeing and contribute to social injustice. Aims to discover how registered nurses (RN) understand, use, and communicate their knowing of contemporary societal and political issues impacting on the health and wellbeing of those they care for. Employs a critical constructivist methodology in interviews woth 26 RNs, and identifies the themes that emerged.
