Nurse researchers and nursing assistants: construction and projection of polymorphous identities

Abstract

Objective: To understand the meanings that nurse researchers and nursing assistants attribute to one another, and to the development of research produced by Nursing. Method: Qualitative research. The Grounded Theory and the Complexity Theory were used as theoretical and methodological frameworks, respectively. Ten nursing assistants and six research nurses participated in the research. The semi-structured interview was used as a data collection technique. The results were categorized by comparative analysis and validated by ten judges. Results: The valuation of nursing care research as well as interactions between research development and nursing care may be related to the way nursing assistants and nurse researchers perceive themselves. These perceptions are multifaceted. Conclusion: The meanings nurse researchers and nursing assistants attribute to each other reveal mechanisms of closeness and distance between these actors, as well as between research and nursing care.

A scoping review of complexity science in nursing

“…Chaffee and McNeill (2007) displayed the connection between CAS and the metaparadigm of nursing based on the four consensus concepts: human being, nursing, health and environment. One study also revealed the distant realities that emerge from the same system when scientific research and the nursing care dimension are used in an attempt to bridge gaps in the science of nursing (Silva, Silva, Lins, Silva, & Leite, 2019). White and Begun (1996) visualized the nurse profession as a CAS.…”

Cuidados de enfermagem à luz da complexidade: uma revisão integrativa

“…Além disso, a pessoa cuidada costuma ter o apoio familiar (ou a falta dele). Assim, a família é mencionada com muita frequência nas experiências dos enfermeiros como fator chave na determinação da complexidade do cuidado (Silva et al, 2019;Carlos et al, 2017;Guarinoni et al, 2015).…”

“…Outros estudos abordaram aspectos sobre a saúde do adolescente, principalmente em relação à sexualidade, infecções sexualmente transmissíveis (IST) e a busca pela autonomia (Huang et al, 2019;Silva et al, 2019;Carvalho, Erdmann & Santana, 2015;Silva et al, 2015;Miller et al, 2010).…”
