Title | What undergraduate nurse education actually teaches student nurses about people named as older: A Foucauldian discourse analysis | Type | Book Whole | ||
Year | 2020 | Publication | Abbreviated Journal | ||
Volume | Issue | Pages | 198 p. | ||
Keywords | Nursing education; Aged care; Nurses' perceptions; Stereotypes | ||||
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. | ||||

Title | 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 | Type | Journal Article | ||
Year | 2022 | Publication | Nursing Praxis in Aotearoa New Zealand | Abbreviated Journal | |
Volume | 38 | Issue | 2 | Pages | 23-31 |
Keywords | Nursing education; Nursing students; Aged care; Employment | ||||
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. | ||||
