- The study reported here explored Iranian nurses' experience of managing work and family roles. Grounded theory method guided the data collection and data analysis from both individual and focus group interviews. Five categories emerged: family role, working conditions, seeking support, perceiving dissatisfaction, and perceiving threats to health. The core concept that emerged was striving for balance between family and work demands. In the work family role the Iranian nurses faced significant pressures, and they mostly relied on their own capabilities to create balance, often neglecting their own needs. This resulted in perceived dissatisfaction and health threats.

- Scand J Caring Sci; 2012; 26; 355362 The school nursing profession in relation to Bourdieus concepts of capital, habitus and field Aim: The aim was to define the work and professional role of school nurses, in terms of Bourdieus key concepts of capital and habitus. Method: A qualitative study with a deductive approach, based on data from six focus-group interviews with 24 school nurses and 15 individual interviews with school nurses. Thus, a total of 39 school nurses participated in the study. The data were analysed using content analysis. Results: The results explain, in terms of Bourdieus key concepts of capital and habitus, how school nurses experience their work in the educational setting. A model including different aspects of school nurses work is shown. Conclusion: The new Swedish Education Act focuses on promoting students general health, so that they are able to reach their academic potential. In this task, the school nurse is to be one of a group of several professionals working together. The present study shows how school nurses experience their professional role and their work in relation to Bourdieus concepts of capital, habitus and field. To strengthen the school nursing profession, school nurses need to show their competence in promoting students health.
