Experiences in the workplace community and the influence of community experiences on ENP courses for nursing
1Department of Applied Foreign Languages, National United University, 1 Lienda, Miaoli 36003, Taiwan, ROC.
Background:
A nursing community can be described as a discourse community or a Community of Practice (CoP). No matter what type, a nursing community exerts influences on its group members' worldviews, perspectives and beliefs.
Objectives:
The purpose of this research is to explore what nurses' experiences of membership within the nursing community are and how such experiences influence nurses' views of English for nursing purposes (ENP) courses.
Design:
A qualitative case study was conducted in a medical centre in Taiwan in which many foreign patients seek medical treatment and in which English is highly valued.
Participants:
Nine nurses who had at least three years working experience in relation to clinical practice participated in the study.
Methods:
Semi-structured interviews and shadowing observations were the two primary methods of data collection.
Results:
Five themes emerged: (1) building of the nurse-patient relationship, (2) provision of patient-centred care, (3) negative caring experiences, (4) professional identity, and (5) perspectives on ENP courses.
Conclusions:
Nurses' connection with the community led for them to a focus in their working lives. This determined their perceptions of ENP courses.
