  • Title: The language of 'experience' in nursing research.
    Author: Allen D, Cloyes K.
    Journal: Nurs Inq; 2005 Jun; 12(2):98-105. PubMed ID: 15892725.
    Abstract:
    This paper is an analysis of how the signifier 'experience' is used in nursing research. We identify a set of issues we believe accompany the use of experience but are rarely addressed. These issues are embedded in a spectrum that includes ontological commitments, visions of the person/self and its relation to 'society', understandings of research methodology and the politics of nursing. We argue that a poststructuralist understanding of the language of experience in research opens up additional ways to analyze the relationship between the conduct of nursing research and cultural/political commitments.
