Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to give voice to the lived experiences of nurses and law enforcement officers whose professional responsibilities converge in the acute care setting, while gaining insight into the perspectives and interpretations of their experiences. Using interpretative phenomenological analysis, this quality study contributes to a growing body of literature exploring the influence of law enforcement in the hospital. Overwhelmingly, participants in this study expressed a contentious dynamic, fueled by arguments, struggles for power, and a feeling of coming from "different worlds." The influence of socially and spatially constructed territories was critical points of contention.
