Specialism in nursing: the case of nursing care for elderly people
Journal of Advanced Nursing
|October 1, 1993
Abstract:
Is elderly care nursing a specialty? This paper reports results from an interview-based study which aims to uncover the distinctive elements of nursing work with elderly people. Within the context of sociological literature on specialism it is concluded that a case for seeing elderly care nursing as a specialty area can be made. However, that case has implications for the continued marginalization of elderly people in society.
