SubjectivityNursing research a b s t r a c tThe aim of this paper is to explore the essential elements and value of narrative inquiry in nursing research. We propose that understanding a previous experience allows the nurse researcher an "insider view" and hence a deeper understanding of the issues that arise in the relationship between participant and researcher. We suggest that narrative inquiry in nursing research offers a particular way of caring about how knowledge is produced.Nursing science would benefit from the understanding that health and nursing practices are dynamic processes characterized by the continuous interaction of human thought and behaviour that continuously 'pumps' into personal, social and material environments.Narrative inquiry as a methodology in nursing research is exceptionally useful to uncover nuance and detail of previous experiences.

Narrative inquiry was first used by Connelly and Clandinin [1] as a methodology to describe the personal stories of teachers. Narrative researchers look for ways to understand and then present real-life experiences through the stories of the research participants [2,3]. The narrative approach allows for a rich description of these experiences and an exploration of the meanings that the participants derive from their experiences. Narrative inquiry amplifies voices that may have otherwise remained silent [4]. It utilizes story-telling as a way of communicating the participants' realities to a larger audience [5]. By using the narratives format to present findings, researchers can access rich layers of information that provide a more in-depth understanding of the particulars of the participants' points of view. The knowledge gained can offer the reader a deeper understanding of the subject material and extra insight to apply the stories to their own context. Narrative inquiry has an underlying philosophy and access that enables the illumination of real people in real settings through the 'painting' of their stories. It is a methodology in which the researcher attempts to illuminate the meanings of personal stories and events.Nursing is increasingly embracing more art-based approaches as research methodologies [6]. However, the majority of studies conducted in Chinese settings are quantitative; few qualitative studies have been performed. One major reason for this disparity is that Chinese nursing

“…It seeks to move beyond the use of gender as an independent variable to provide a more finely tuned analysis of the intersections of gender and race in workplace health and risk for registered nurses (RNs) and registered practical nurses (RPNs) across hospitals and long-term care and community settings in Ontario, Canada. By applying gender-based analysis (Armstrong, 2001;Clow, Pederson, Haworth-Brockman, & Bernier, 2009;Health Canada, 2000) to the NSWHN survey data as well as utilizing this lens to collect new qualitative data, the study aims to provide insight into the complex social dynamics that shape diversely situated nurses' experiences of work and health in a Canadian context. The overall goal of this inquiry is to identify policies and practices that support diverse groups of nurses and enhance their practice experiences, thus improving the care of the patients, residents, and communities that they serve.…”

This article explores how the dynamics of violence and support for nurses are influenced by the intersections of race, gender, and other social relations in various practice settings. Utilizing a qualitative study design, situated in the naturalistic and critical paradigms, this article is grounded in the experiences of key informants (KIs), each possessing significant expertise on issues of equity and violence, as well as insight into the current practice settings in Ontario, Canada. The individual KI interviews were analyzed using conventional qualitative content analysis, with its focus on capturing emerging insights. The findings reflect the everyday nature of gendered and racialized violence, the influence of setting and the effectiveness of existing resources. Professional, organizational, and broader policy implications are discussed to support diversely situated nurses within their various practice environments.

Objective: Studies attempting to investigate issues around detainees' health status is limited in Greece and it is mainly focusing on specific prisons. The scope of this research was to investigate the impact of incarceration on health status of the Greek female prisoners' population. Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted to both female correctional institutions existing in Greece during the years 2014 and 2015. A semi-structured questionnaire was given to incarcerated women who voluntarily accepted to take part. Data were collected via personal interviews and were anonymized. Statistical analysis was performed through descriptive statistics, bivariate analysis and multiple regression analysis with the use of SPSS 20.Results: Out of 524 female prisoners, 397 met the inclusion criteria and participated in the study. 66.3% reported a moderate or poor health status, while the respective rate before detainment was 23.4%. Health status deterioration and poor mental health were referred by more than half of the participants. The access to health services and the quality of provided healthcare during imprisonment were considered as poor/very poor by 44.8% and 46.1% respectively. Almost half of the respondents expressed their dissatisfaction with the accommodation, the cleanliness, the nutrition as well as with the overall prison environment. Furthermore, the access to health services, the quality of provided healthcare and the experienced detention conditions affect female prisoners' self-reported general and mental health status. Conclusion:Female imprisonment impacts negatively prisoners' self-reported health status. Our findings give a cue for additional explore with the specific end goal to meet the health needs of this vulnerable population as well as to improve everyday life in prison and life after release.
