Beale, T. M. (1995). Psychiatric nurses: the influence of their personal life experiences on therapeutic readiness. Ph.D. thesis, , .
Abstract: This research investigates the impact of fifteen psychiatric nurses' personal experiences on their therapeutic relationships with clines. A hermeneutic phenomenological methodology informed by Heidegger is employed to gain an understanding of the human experience of these nurses in the context of the therapeutic relationship.The research illuminates the significant impact of these nurses' experiences on their relationships. Some experiences are found to enhance therapeutic readiness while the other personal experiences impede it, some impeding it to a degree that nurses are unable to work therapeutically with certain clients. The stories that describe the personal experiences that lead towards therapeutic readiness care special, as are the accounts of the professionalism and care that these nurses bring to their clients

Hickson, P. (1988). Knowledge and action in nursing: a critical approach to the practice worlds of four nurses. Ph.D. thesis, , .
Abstract: This thesis provides an interpretive critique of the way in which knowledge is viewed, transmitted and crystallized in the practice worlds experienced by four registered nurses working in acute care hospital settings. The theoretical assumptions of critical social theory underpin both the methodological approach (case study) and the analysis of data. In-depth unstructured interview, a critically reflexive dialogue between the investigator and participant focussed on the practice world experiences of the nurse, was the principle research method. A brief analysis of documentation was also undertaken.It is argued that previous studies related to nursing practice, and to the social worlds of nursing, have been limited by their failure to take account of the socio-political context in which nursing takes place. There has been a tendency to treat the transmission of knowledge in nursing and nursing practice process of information exchange. No account of socially generated constraints on personal and professional agency, or of systematic distortions in communication within the practice setting are therefore given.The analysis of data in this study demonstrates the way in which constraints on personal and professional agency were experienced by each of the four participants. In particular, practice expressing the participant's professional nursing knowledge and values ws often denied in the face of shared understandings reflective of the institutional ideology. These shared understandings included a belief in the legitimacy of medical domination over other social factors and the support of doctor, rather than nurse or patient, centered practices.This study demonstrates that the way that nurses and other social actors come to “know” and interpret their social worlds is dependent on the socio-political contest in which that knowledge in produced. It also shows how this knowledge may be treated ad though it were 'an object'. This tendency to treat existing social relationships and practices as 'natural' hence unchallengeable masks possibilities for transformative action within the practice of nursing.It is argued that a particular form of knowledge is required if nurses are to overcome the types of constraint experienced by these four nurses. This knowledge, emancipatory knowledge, is that developed in the process of shared, socially critical self-reflection rather than solitary, self-critical reflection
