Channel: semw52
Date: 2022-03-11

The interviews lasted a good hour each hence  lots of transcribing afterwards in order to obtain  those common themes and concepts that emerged and which were shared by the interviewees--the nurses.The interviews were an important part of the research process but were not openly used because of the time and word restrictions -----The content from the themes was used but the actual tapes not shared BUT their use allowed by informed consent....Therefore I do intend submitting them at some point to the RCN to be used by others to assist in some of the issues and problems identified by this research---the voices of the nurses tell far more than the written paper--the dissertation.The voices reveal the thoughts and feelings of those  nurses---the answers are to be found in the tapes---I was just the listener and the transcriber and document-er--although also an active participant on the ward--aware of the issues and the MSc gave me the key to open up a dialogue ---a chance to express the issue...allow for the subjective......The voices of these nurses need to be heard because these issues and problems still exist---so channels of expressions need to be allowed--nurses need to be heard---they gave their time to do the interviews because they cared,were concerned and knew  that changes needed to be implemented across the NHS in all areas of care....The NHS has been under attack for the wrong reasons, hands tied, and fragmentation affecting care and the delivery of care----Privatization is here, insurance cover etc...undermining a whole Paradigm ...Yes its a big issue but  it can be seen at the micro level---on the wards----In 20 years much has changed but much has also stayed the same--------progress and evolution obstructed.......
