“…Primono (2007) explains that political advocacy is a component of the nurses' role in health promotion, nurses' active participation in health policy development, and the inclusion of policy and advocacy aspects in nursing curricula will help nurses realize their full potential as healthcare advocates. Nurses possess a wide array of knowledge and expertise regarding the care of patients (Phillips, 2012). Through increased knowledge and awareness, doctorally-prepared nurses will engage in the political arena and actively participate in advocacy efforts to improve health policy and the health of individuals, communities, and populations.…”

“…Finally Nurses have highly developed skills in interpersonal communication, health assessment, and action planning transferable to political action (Perron, 2013). Thus, nurses must incessantly advance their unique perspectives into the public policy area requiring political action (Perron, 2013;Phillips, 2012). The successful strike by the Alberta nurses in 1988 offers lessons on how to assert workers' rights and protect public health through political activism.…”

Despite Canada’s commitment to several international human rights instruments recognizing the right to housing, homelessness remains widespread nationwide. Informed by critical political economy theory and critical discourse studies, we examined relevant literature focusing on homelessness policy-related documents in the Canadian context. The findings demonstrate interrelated homelessness policy discourses: 1) emergency shelters, 2) housing first, 3) social determinants of health, 4) human rights, and 5) political economy approach. We conclude that a critical political economy approach offers the most helpful way of understanding and responding to the homelessness crisis in Canada. Homelessness is a socioeconomic and political problem requiring nurses and health professionals to take sociopolitical actions. As nurses and health justice advocates, we stand in solidarity with labour movements to protect public health. This study can be adopted in local, national, and global settings.

“…It is suggested here that many nurses might not have such a set of critical concepts, such as ‘governmentality’ or ‘frontiers of control’, to give them a more critical discourse upon which to base critical action or ‘praxis’ (Cox & Nilsen, ). There are a few papers addressing political activism in nursing, providing critical theories and concepts (Hewison, ; Antrobus et al ., ; Racine, ; Phillips, ; Shariff, ), and other papers which discuss politics and nursing (Masterson & Maslin‐Prothero, ; Davies, ; Salmon, ; Traynor, ). These works suggest an interest in the interplay of the socio‐political context and nursing practice and provide some evidence of relevance of this ‘pattern of knowing’.…”

Developing the concept of sustainability in nursing

Sustainability, and the related concept of climate change, is an emerging domain within nursing and nurse education. Climate change has been posited as a serious global health threat requiring action by health professionals and action at international level. Anåker & Elf undertook a concept analysis of sustainability in nursing based on Walker and Avant's framework. Their main conclusions seem to be that while defining attributes and cases can be established, there is not enough research into sustainability in the nursing literature. This paper seeks to develop their argument to argue that sustainability in nursing can be better understood by accessing non-nursing and grey literature and, for example, the literature in the developing web-based 'paraversity'. Without this understanding, and application in nursing scholarship, nurses will have a rather narrow understanding of sustainability and its suggested links with social and health inequalities and the dynamics underpinning unsustainable neoliberalist political economy. This understanding is based on the social and political determinants of health approach and the emerging domain of planetary health. However, this is a major challenge as it requires a critical reflection on what counts as nursing knowledge, a reflection which might reject sustainability and political economy as irrelevant to much of nursing practice.
