    Main Methods:

    • Drawing on the theoretical frameworks of Michel Foucault and Jacques Derrida.
    • Utilizing Foucault's concept of discourse to examine textual mediation in nursing.
    • Applying Derrida's concept of binary oppositions, specifically the mind/body dichotomy.

    • Nursing and nursing practice are significantly constructed through textual and discursive processes.
    • The mind/body binary opposition is identified as a central textual construction influencing nursing conceptualization.
    • Poststructuralist analysis reveals new possibilities for understanding nursing.
