Nursing Inquiry
ABSTRACT This discussion paper examines how care‐based nursing judgement becomes recognised, narrowed or excluded as professional knowledge within healthcare organisations. Nursing care is often described as relational, ethical, practical or compassionate, yet these descriptions may obscure its epistemic content: trained perception, contextual interpretation, anticipatory reasoning, moral judgement, continuity work and practical synthesis under uncertainty. Drawing on epistemic injustice, nursing knowledge developm …

British Journal of Mental Health Nursing
A mental health nursing curriculum reflects decisions about whose knowledge counts, which histories of psychiatry are taught, and whose experiences of distress are considered intelligible within professional frameworks of care. Drawing on the author's research in culturally responsive nursing education, the article examines why the racialised history of psychiatry remains absent from most preregistration curricula, and how diversity continues to be treated as an additional topic rather than integral to mental healt …

Nursing Philosophy
ABSTRACT Caring is commonly described as the ethical core of nursing and as a fundamentally human way of relating to others. As social assistive robots are increasingly introduced into healthcare, questions emerge regarding the role these technologies can play in caring practices. Drawing on Katie Eriksson's theory of caritative caring, this paper examines how social assistive robots may be understood in caring and discusses the ethical boundaries that should guide their use. Caritative caring, grounded in Caritas …

ABSTRACT Bathing Without a Battle is a widely circulated video training resource in residential dementia care, but the assumptions it advances about bathing, refusal, and appropriate nursing practice have received limited critical attention. This paper analyzes how the text constructs resistance to assisted bathing and how it frames legitimate nursing responses to that resistance. A three‐part Faircloughian critical discourse analysis is used, attending to social structures, processes of production and disseminatio …

Spiritual care is an important part of mental health care but remains a neglected aspect of training for mental health nurses. This article examines the tensions between documented benefits of spiritual engagement for service, and the gap in knowledge and confidence by mental health nurses. Drawing upon recent literature in this area, the authors argue that the systemic barriers and the lack of targeted nurse education can lead to the lack of mental health nurse confidence, which in turn leads to the omission of sp …
