Idour, D. M. G. (1981). The social context and the relevance of nursing curricula. Ph.D. thesis, , .
Abstract: The relevance of Nursing Curricula and the degree of effectiveness of their outcomes for the 'consumer' ( clients, students, a given society) are seen as commiserate to the degree that a curriculum is developed with due regard for the 'social realities' of a society. "Social realities' are defined as the actual conditions, pressures, disabilities and abilities, limitations and resources that exist in the lifespan of people and form the environment within which Nursing practices. A Curriculum relevancy process ( CRP) has been developed for use as the main analytical tool of the study. CRP has been designated as an information seeking, problem solving and evaluative process. It consists of three phases with a major emphasis on the first phase, information seeking. Information has been gathered about contemporary social realities ( the year of 1979) and related Socio- health disorders. Information has been gathered and analysed from official ad voluntary sources and the findings related to curricular choices for Nursing education

Allen, N. R. (1985). The transition to institutional living: the experience of elderly people. Ph.D. thesis, , .
Abstract: The research identifies how elderly people perceive the transition from home to institutional living. The methodology for the discovery of grounded theory is used. A conceptualisation of the transition to institutional living as five sequential and inter-related phases is introduced. In the first phases of anticipation and reaction; subjects responses to challenges introduced by transition tend to predominate. The third and fourth phases are characterised by subjects working through these challenges to achieve mastery within the new situation. The final phase is manifest in each individuals' attributing personal meaning to the transition within the context of his or her total life. Mastery within the new situation is achieved through problem solving approaches to increasing dependency, acceptance of personal responsibility for adjustment and the perception of institutionalisation as but one incident in each person's life. This transition was found to differ from those described amongst younger populations. It is proposed that this difference occurs as a function of developmental stage , frailty and the environmental situation. The research a) emphasises the holistic nature and complexity of nursing with frail elderly clients, b) support the uses of concepts from developmental theory as a basis for nursing practise with elderly clients, and c) suggests ways in which nursing education and research may contribute to the development of nursing care for elderly clients

Abstract: This study investigates the induction of comprehensive Nurses into a professional culture during their polytechnic education and the first year of Hospital practise. A critical theory framework combined with case study method is used to demonstrate the ways in which social forces constrain individual and professional action. It is argued that a more socially critical approach to the design of Nursing curricula might begin to transform some of the social structures which presently inhibit and constrain the professional choices and actions of student and graduate Nurse
