Area of Science:

  • Sociology of aging
  • Nursing studies
  • Cultural gerontology

Background:

  • The portrayal of aging is influenced by cultural and historical contexts.
  • Terminology used in nursing, while part of its taxonomy, is a hidden cultural construct.
  • Nursing records shape patient identity and care delivery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine how nursing documentation constructs the concept of the 'manageable' patient.
  • To analyze how patient noncompliance challenges medical and nursing authority.
  • To explore the reinterpretation of noncompliance as 'risk' and its implications for the clinical gaze.

Main Methods:

  • Critical analysis of nursing documentation and terminology.
  • Exploration of the social and cultural construction of aging within healthcare.
Keywords:
Professional Patient Relationship

Related Experiment Videos

  • Theoretical examination of power dynamics between patients and healthcare providers.

    • Main Results:

    • Nursing notes contribute to constructing a 'manageable' patient, reinforcing medical dominance.
    • Patient noncompliance disrupts this construct, challenging authority and leading to reinterpretation as 'risk'.
    • This reinterpretation extends the clinical gaze beyond the body, into broader contexts.

    Conclusions:

    • The concept of the 'manageable' patient in nursing is a cultural construct.
    • Older adults, through their physical presence (corporeality), can resist and subvert the extended clinical gaze.
    • Understanding the cultural underpinnings of aging portrayals is crucial in nursing practice and research.
