Experiencing nursing education research: narrative inquiry and interpretive phenomenology.

Narrative inquiry is emerging from higher education curriculum studies into nursing, and interpretive phenomenology is established in nursing education research. These two research methods are compared by subject matter, agent, method, data and outcome, using examples from nursing education research. This comparison facilitates a researcher's choice of method by showing what is revealed by each type of inquiry and how they differ.

How nurses are conceptualized in healthcare reform literature.

Nurse coping, empowerment and job satisfaction are conceptualized as modifiable from organizational and psychological perspectives. Questions about what stories nurses tell themselves to live by and to shape healthcare reform have not been part of thinking about the impact of restructuring on nurses.

Narrative inquiry in a nursing practicum.

One approach to creating research-based nursing education is to think and write narratively about the daily life of a BScN program student and her teacher in diverse settings and over time. Gail, as a nurse-teacher, and Faith, as a nursing student and now Public Health Nurse, reconstruct their teaching-learning experiences in an integrated practicum in maternal-child health services as a narrative inquiry. After presenting this reconstruction of experience at a conference on maternal scholarship, further inquiry into their experiences shows how narrative inquiry matters to construction of nursing praxis and to life-long learning as a nurse. Teaching-learning relationships are seen as a template for a student's connections to people experiencing nursing care and to other clinicians. Construction of stories to live by that take into account becoming a nurse, constructing knowledge and enacting caring-healing nursing practices is illuminated through narrative inquiry.
