“…Conceptually, this paper sits between social constructionist, relational, and more than human geographies as they relate to healthcare, health professionals (Andrews et al, 2021) and a new pathogen. We use the intersection of various ‘scapes’ as an overarching concept to help make sense of the ways space, infection risk and profession are performed in this COVID‐19 moment.…”

The COVID‐19 pandemic: Analysing nursing risk, care and careerscapes

2021

This qualitative study explores how junior nurses, and some who were still in training, navigated the complexities and uncertainties engendered by the COVID‐19 pandemic. Data are drawn from in‐depth interviews with 18 students/nurses in Christchurch, New Zealand. Managing intertwining risk, care and careerscapes takes an intensified form as existing infection control rules, established norms of care, boundaries between home and work and expected career trajectories roil. ‘Safe’ and ‘risky’ spaces are porous but maintained using contextual, critical, clinical judgement. Carescapes are stretched, both within and beyond the walls of healthcare settings. Within the COVID‐19 riskscape, careerscapes are open to both threat and opportunity. Countries demand much of their healthcare staff in times of heath crises, but have a limited appreciation of what it takes to translate seemingly tightly bounded protocols into effective practice. The labour required in this work of translation is navigated moment by moment. To surface some of this invisible work, those implementing pandemic plans may need to more carefully consider how to incorporate attention to the work/home/public boundary as well as overtly acknowledging the invisible emotional, physical and intellectual labour carried out in crisis risk, care and careerscapes.

“…Space has been simply defined as 'a featureless, neutral surface upon which life unfolds'. 1 It is the unfolding of life that adds complex connotations to space, resulting in it being no longer neutral but charged. Henri Lefebvre in 'Production of Space' introduces the concept of 'third Space' or lived space, which projects space as a social product comprising a lived (phenomenological) component.…”
