Nursing, education, and sterile ethical fields.

The premise of this article is that sterile ethical fields are created in order to cope with the complex issues of daily life, including nursing work. This mechanism of action facilitates the ability to solve problems and decide actions, but at the same time can result in behavior contradictory to basic values and principles. The dialectical method is presented as a means to address issues in a more holistic manner that honors the connectedness of reality.

Nursing education and social constraints: an indepth analysis.

This paper summarizes the results of a study analyzing the social, economic and political factors affecting the nursing education system in the Federal Republic of Germany (F.R.G.). Using a hermeneutic-dialectical approach the researcher examined the circumstances surrounding the conceptualization, implementation and non-continuation of an experimental program for the university education of nurse instructors in the F.R.G.--the first university program in nursing in the country. Paulo Freire's model of oppressed group behavior was found to be useful in making sense of the data and was drawn on to outline the characteristics of a nursing education that is 'freeing', that is, which which leads to the development of critical consciousness in nurses.
