Area of Science:

  • Workplace dynamics
  • Sociology
  • Healthcare management

Background:

  • Workplace power structures significantly influence employee working conditions, particularly in sectors like elderly care.
  • An intersectional perspective is crucial for analyzing how subjective dimensions (gender, ethnicity) interact with objective power processes.
  • Understanding these dynamics is vital for improving the well-being of diverse workforces.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore how an intersectional perspective can enhance knowledge of power structures in a nursing home setting.
  • To investigate the potential for reflexive dialogues to improve employee well-being.
  • To examine the experiences of immigrant employees within the nursing home's power structures.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study employing narrative analysis.
  • Multi-stage focus groups conducted over six months with nursing home staff.
  • Engaged staff in critical, intersectional reflections on power dynamics and their subjectivities (gender, ethnicity).

Main Results:

  • Identified three key themes: Intersectionality, knowledge, and experiences of professionalism, collaboration, and discrimination.
  • Demonstrated that an intersectional approach empowered staff to articulate experiences of discrimination.
  • Showcased how these reflections fostered a better understanding of professionalism and collaboration.

Conclusions:

  • An intersectional perspective can lead to consciousness-raising and increased self-confidence among employees.
  • This approach enhances employees' understanding of their professional roles and collaborative dynamics.
  • The study highlights the importance of addressing structural discrimination through an intersectional lens to improve staff well-being.
