    Towards a rhetoric of spirituality in mental health care (1997)

    Notes: The spiritual dimension of care is frequently alluded to in the nursing literature, but rarely examined in terms of what it means in practice or how it might be taught to students entering the profession. Some of those most in need of spiritual care are people suffering from mental illness or psychological distress. The aim of this paper is to explore the different meanings of spirituality and to suggest ways in which the spiritual care of clients can be implemented. It further recommends which aspects of spirituality could usefully be included in nursing curricula. The paper concludes by alerting nurses to the causes and manifestations of spiritual apathy in contemporary health care and calls for a rhetoric that will counter the jargon of cost analysis which currently prevails in the health services.

    Linguistic entrapment: medico-nursing biographies as fictions (1995)

    Notes: This paper argues that in their trainings health professionals are encouraged to use language naively as if it were a transparent medium of scientific communication We contend that language use, particularly in the field of mental health care, should be studied in terms of its social functions and attention should be paid to the inevitably constructive nature of language in patients’records, in order that a‘fictional distance’opens up between patients and their records Recent developments in literary theory and narrative analysis can be deployed as theoretical frameworks to understand this process, and we suggest that more attention to the use of language should be included in the educational programmes for health care professionals to counteract the risk of‘linguistic entrapment’or‘incarceration’

    Fruits without labour: the implications of Friedrich Nietzsche’s ideas for the caring professions (1998)

    Notes: Seldom is the work of philosophers invoked by health professionals when examining aspects of care from a philosophical perspective. Instead, students of health care, especially nurses, have been introduced to ‘philosophies’ which are often superficially examined and poorly understood. This practice fails to develop in students an appreciation of the work of philosophers or to acquire the art of critical thinking. The introduction of models and theories of nursing in the past three decades has alerted nurses to the importance of possessing critical skills in order to identify sound theory and implement good practice. This paper goes beyond mere philosophising and examines aspects of mental health care from the perspectives of one of nineteenth century Europe’s most notable philosophers, Friedrich Nietzsche. It argues that understanding his work can enhance one’s ability to reflect on nursing practice, as well as bringing a new dimension to how we analyse ‘mental health’ problems. His work provides many insights into how we can improve our understanding of the effect of mental illness and mental health care on the individual, and how we conceptualise the process of care. This paper provides an overview of his life’s work, his impact on the history of ideas and develops some of the more provocative implications of his work for mental health care.

    The language of mental health nursing reports: firing paper bullets? (1999)

    Notes: The language of mental health nursing reports: firing paper bullets?¶A great deal of the caring work of nursing is accomplished and mediated through language. This paper attempts to characterize some of this language in quantitative and stylistic terms in an attempt to characterize the genre of nursing report language. Nursing students (n = 26) and graduate nurses (n = 3) viewed a videotape of a person being interviewed by a psychiatrist and produced written reports. These showed a large proportion of words relating to the person and to feelings and needs, compared to existing databases of the English language in general. The language produced by the participants also contained many modal or modifying words and is similar to spoken rather than written English in terms of the proportion of lexical content. There was much diversity in their descriptions and the vocabulary used to refer to the client. Graduate nurses showed more scepticism of the evidence provided by the video and advocated more investigation and questioning of the client. The use of standard forms and techniques of expression suggests that these reports were assembled on a language production line. Finally, we advocate a more systematic approach to educating nursing students about the power of the language they use.

    Ministering to madness: the narratives of people who have left religious orders to work in the caring professions (1998)

    Notes: This paper examines the life stories of 14 men and women who spent time in religious communities and who subsequently took up work in the caring professions. Their accounts reflect the alignment between the ethics of care and those of religious life, the centrality of contemplation and self-examination to both Christianity and psychotherapy. There are further correspondences between their narratives and recent academic interest in the spiritual aspects of health care. They also describe profound changes and moments of uncertainty which parallel other transitional experiences like grieving or unemployment. For many respondents also, caring for others is part of caring for oneself. Disappointment with the religious life and isolation on leaving it appear to have brought the respondents into a close relationship with those who suffer mental illness. It is almost as if they seek to heal the distress in their own lives by proxy.

    Sacrificing the personal to the professional: community mental health nurses (2003)

    Notes: Background. The study of stress in mental health nurses has almost always focused on factors intrinsic to their job roles and has neglected the interaction between work and home roles, which may also be a source of stress. Moreover, role theory has not provided an adequate account of either personal or occupational change, especially when this results from the experience of stress. Methods. Twenty community mental health nurses agreed to participate in semi-structured interviews about the stresses they experienced at work and at home. A grounded theory analysis disclosed the centrality of conflicts between work and home roles in participants' accounts and this provided the focus for subsequent detailed readings of the interview transcripts. Findings. Participants described how difficult and often demanding family situations were integrated with professional careers in a climate of rapid organizational change in the health service. As well as being an ongoing source of strain, these competing role demands were often described as leading to sudden changes for individual workers, such as periods of illness or re-evaluation of their work role. To assist in making sense of this process, the term ‘punctuated equilibria’ was adopted to illuminate the build-up of tension between work and domestic lives, which was described by some workers as leading to a sudden reformulation of their relationship to their work roles and employing organizations. Conclusions and limitations. The study was small-scale and relied on retrospective self-reports. Nevertheless, it emphasized the importance of considering all the roles that individuals play and highlights the possibility that, even when staff are apparently coping with their roles at work and home, difficulties may be building up which could lead to a sudden period of absenteeism or disillusionment.

    Reluctant empiricists: community mental health nurses and the art of evidence-based praxis (2002)

    Notes: The National Service Framework for Mental Health (1999) emphasizes the need for a culture of evidence-based practice (EBP) in mental health care. However, there is relatively little research addressing EBP from the perspective of community mental health nurses and we are still unsure of why the uptake of this style of working has been slow. This paper suggests that rather than thinking in terms of ‘barriers’ to the uptake of EBP, the issue may best be conceptualized as a form of praxis on the part of nurses, as they seek to manage the diversity of ideologies and practices in their working lives. From an interview and focus group study, we identify how practitioners’ narrow definition of EBP itself, their formulation of how EBP was at odds with the nurse's professional activity and the organizational constraints within which they work were perceived to inhibit access to information and offer little time and managerial support for information seeking. Those who attempt to further the involvement of community mental health staff in EBP will have to reconceptualize the reasons why staff have yet to incorporate it fully, and acknowledge that this does not occur because staff are simply ‘ignorant Luddites’, but that this resistance enables them to retain a sense of control over their working lives and retain a focus on work with clients. Future EBP initiatives will have to address these ideological and organizational factors in order for uptake to be accelerated. This may involve changing organizational cultures and work roles and even encouraging activism on the part of the practitioners so as to enable them to learn from each other and educate and change their work environments.

    Blurred roles and permeable boundaries: the experience of multidisciplinary working in community mental health (2000)

    Notes: This paper reports on an investigation of three interdisciplinary mental health teams. The discussion of the responses highlights the boundaries that exist between different professional roles and areas of responsibility. Whereas there is some evidence of role blurring, which was welcomed by a few respondents, others sought to preserve their own professional identity within the multidisciplinary environment. In a paradoxical sense, the lack of managerial direction and the encouragement of generic working seemed to make some respondents all the more insistent on separate professional identities. We conclude that, far from being a relic of the past or a product of ‘ingrained attitudes’, boundaries between professions are actively encouraged by the experience of interdisciplinary modes of working.
