Poststructuralist theory offers benefits for deconstructing nursing discourse but is inadequate for research aiming to enact change. Its limitations highlight a divergence from nursing

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Research
  • Social Theory
  • Feminist Theory

Background:

  • Poststructuralist theory is increasingly applied in nursing research.
  • Feminist research also utilizes poststructuralist frameworks.
  • Nursing shares parallels with social movements like feminism.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss the benefits and limitations of poststructuralism in nursing research.
  • To explore the divergence between deconstructionist poststructuralism and nursing aims.
  • To examine criticisms of poststructuralism in research.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and theoretical analysis.
  • Discussion of poststructuralism's application in feminist and nursing research.
  • Comparative analysis of theoretical frameworks.

Main Results:

  • Poststructuralism is useful for deconstructing existing nursing discourse and practice.
  • A divergence exists between deconstructionist poststructuralism and the aims of nursing.
  • Criticisms suggest poststructuralism can be inadequate or reactionary for research.

Conclusions:

  • Poststructuralism is valuable for analyzing current nursing practices but not for driving change.
  • The incompatibility of poststructuralism with change-oriented research needs consideration.
  • Nursing research may require theoretical approaches that support development and transformation.
