Conducts thematic analysis to identify two predominant gender scripts: of nursing as women's work, and that men who nurse are homosexual.

Professional competence; Registered nurses; Quality of health care; Evidence-based medicine |
Abstract |
The aim of this research project was to explore issues around preferred injection site, intramuscular injections injection technique, particularly Z-tracking, and the wearing of gloves while administering intramuscular injections. The researchers conducted a literature search which revealed little published information on the use of intramuscular injections, despite them being part of everyday nursing practice. The guidelines for evidence-based practice in relation to intramuscular injections are reviewed and discussed. A survey of registered nurses on intramuscular injections sites and technique was conducted. An anonymous questionnaire, accompanied by an explanatory letter, was sent to 173 registered nurses working in general practice, prisons, and to community and inpatient mental health nurses. Response questionnaires were collated and a thematic analysis was undertaken. This research findings show that, despite the known iatrogenic complications which could occur when administering intramuscular injections, some registered nurses' practice does not appear to take this in to consideration. Furthermore, the majority of registered nurses did not use gloves and Z-tracking was not widely used among the sample group. The researchers conclude that although intramuscular injections are a fundamental skill, there appears to be limited research and evidence to support best practice. Education and support to change practice to reflect current research is paramount, if registered nurses are to remain competent. |

This research seeks to determine an evidence basis for selecting content for the clinical skills curriculum in an undergraduate programme. Thirty-three senior nurse clinicians from medical-surgical areas in 2 large hospitals offering student placements were asked to rate the frequency of performance of 77 skills for the beginning registered nurse. Those skills frequently used and rated over 65% were considers for inclusion in the undergraduate programme. Clinicians were asked to list the 10 most important skills and related level of competence expected from the newly-registered nurse. |
