Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The aim of this study was to describe the biopolitics of involvement discourses articulated by nursing staff concerning relatives in nursing home institutions, using a Foucault-inspired discourse analytical approach. Previous research has described how relatives have not been involved in nursing homes on their own terms. This is partly due to a lack of communication and knowledge, but it is also a consequence of an unclear organizational structure. Results from a discourse analysis of six focus group interviews with nursing staff show that the "involvement discourse" in nursing homes can be described as a "new" vs "old" family rhetoric. This rhetoric can be said to uphold, legitimize and provide different subject positions for both nursing staff and relatives concerning the conditions for involvement in nursing homes. As part of a "project of possibility" in elderly care, it may be possible to adopt a critical pedagogical approach among nursing staff in order to educate, strengthen and support them in reflecting on their professional norming and how it conditions the involvement of relatives.

Expanded awareness as a way to meet the challenges in care that is economically driven and focused on illness- a nordic perspective
- 2012
-
In: Aporia. - 1918-1345. ; 4:4, s. 20--24

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In Sweden as well as in many other countries, nursing and caring science exist in a health care context that is characterised by increasing reliance on the economics of diagnoses and measureable symptoms. This presents a challenge for caring science to defend person - and lifeworld-centred care. Nursing as a caring science must make clear its position in modern health care. The objective of this paper is to show how health oriented nursing, grounded in caring science, advocates expanded nursing care. The paper revisits the relationship between nursing and caring science, specifically the insights from new caring science research that emphasises carers’ capacity for expanded awareness. In addition, the ever-present question of evidence is addressed.

LiLEDDA : a six step forum-based netnographic research method for nursing science
- 2012

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Internet research methods in nursing science are less developed than in other sciences. We choose to present an approach to conducting nursing research on an internet-based forum. This paper presents LiLEDDA, a sixstep forum-based netnographic research method for nursing science. The steps consist of:1. Literature review and identification of the research question(s)2. Locating the field(s) online3. Ethical considerations4. Data gathering5. Data analysis and interpretation and6. Abstractions and trustworthiness.Traditional research approaches are limiting when studying non-normative and non-mainstream life-worlds and their cultures. We argue that it is timely to develop more up-to-date research methods and study designs applicable to nursing science that reflect social developments and human living conditions that tend to be increasingly online based.
