Katherine Curtis

Socialisation in Compassionate Practice

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores the socialisation of compassionate practice in nursing. Nursing in the UK is under the spotlight following reports that indicate a lack of compassion within care. This book explores research in the student nurse journey of professional socialisation in compassionate practice in the 21st Century. Compassion is a complex and contested concept and yet a requirement within nursing practice and student nurse competence. This book also provides a detailed explanation of using Glaserian Grounded Theory. Readers will gain insight into how student nurse socialisation in compassionate practice involves managing the uncertainty and vulnerability associated with dissonance between professional ideals and practice reality; how the socialisation process leaves student nurses balancing their intentions towards or away from compassionate practice. The new Grounded Theory presented in this book has important implications for nurse education and nursing practice.
