Resumo: Baseada nas reflexões de autores como David Le Breton, Denise Sant'Anna, Katherine Hayles, Jean Baudrillard, e Gilles Deleuze, problematizo a relação entre o corpo e a subjetividade nos contos do australiano Peter Carey, relaciono a modificação e mutação do corpo às teorias pós-modernas. Segundo Donna Haraway, na pós-modernidade as tecnologias nos habitam, transformando-nos em ciborgues, sendo a escrita (e, portanto, a literatura) a tecnologia própria dos ciborgues. David Le Breton explica que o corpo é o "rascunho a ser corrigido", complementando a afirmação de Peter Pál Pelbart de que "o eu é o corpo", ao referir-se à relação entre o ser humano e o corpo na contemporaneidade. Tal relação está presente na obra de Peter Carey, especialmente nos contos reunidos no livro The Fat Man in History, edição de 1993. The fat Man in History destaca-se no do contexto da obra do autor por dar relevância ao corpo e mostrar, de maneiras diversas, sua plasticidade e variações
Abstract: Based on the theories of authors such as David Le Breton, Denise Sant'Anna, Katherine Hayles, Jean Baudrillard e Gilles Deleuze, I deal with the relation between the body and the subjectivity relating the body's mutation and modification to the postmodern theories. According to Donna Haraway, in the postmodern era the technology inhabits us, turning us into cyborgs, and the writing (and so, literature) is the cyborgs very technology. David Le Breton explains that the body is a sketch to be corrected, and this goes together with Pelbart's claim that "the body is me", referring to the relation between the body and the human being in the contemporary era. Such a relation is present in Peter Carey's work, mainly in the short stories collected in The Fat man in History, 1993 edition. The Fat Man in History gets a special place in Carey's work because it highlights the body and shows, in many ways, the body's plasticity and mutation

Abstract:
Cette thèse est consacrée à l'étude des œuvres de Peter Carey publiées jusqu'en 1991. Carey est un écrivain australien contemporain. Ce travail est divisé en deux parties : la première, à dominante théorique, cherche à établir une analogie entre le jeu et un certain type de lecture. Elle propose d'abord une définition du jeu qui sert de base à la comparaison de l'activité ludique et de l'activité lectrice. Ensuite, elle isole les techniques textuelles qui encouragent une lecture ludique et dont le repérage et l'analyse fourniront un point de départ au travail d'interprétation de la deuxième partie. Les critères ludiques permettent de distinguer trois types de texte : le texte impérialiste, le texte a lucidité implicite et le texte a lucidité explicite. À titre d'illustration, on trouvera également dans la première partie quelques analyses de nouvelles de Carey parues dans ses deux recueils - the fat man in history et war crimes. La deuxième partie de la thèse est divisée en quatre chapitres dont chacun propose, à l'aide des outils théoriques élaborés dans la première partie, une lecture ludique d'un des quatre romans suivants de Carey : bliss, illywhacker, oscar and lucinda, the tax inspector. Ces interprétations accordent une place privilégiée aux domaines de l'intertextualité, du post-colonialisme et du genre ainsi qu'à l'analyse des techniques de narration
This thesis presents a study of the works published by the contemporary australian author peter carey until 1991 inclusive. It is divided into two parts. The first is predominantly theoretical in nature and seeks to establish the validity of an analogy between playing a game and a certain type of reading. These two activities are compared after a definition of the word "game" has been provided. I then go on to isolate those textual techniques which encourage a ludic response in the reader. Identifying and analysing the use of such techniques in carey's novels constitutes the starting point of my analytical work in the second part of the thesis. Three basic types of text may be distinguished in the light of the theoretical work done : "imperialistic", "implicitly ludic" and "explicitly ludic" texts. As it was necessary to illustrate the theoretical concepts developed in the first part, the latter also contains interpretations of several of carey's short stories published in his two collections the fat man in history and war crimes. The second part of the thesis is divided into four chapters, each of which puts into practice the theoretical concepts developed in the first part, in order to produce a ludic reading of one of carey's four novels : bliss, illywhacker, oscar and lucinda, the tax inspector. These readings lay special emphasis on how carey approaches intertextuality, post-colonialism and genre, and on the narrative techniques employed in these novels

Abstract:
This thesis develops a critical reading methodology entitled unprincipled formalism. This methodology is tested in close readings of three relatively contemporary Australian literary texts: David Malouf's short story "A Traveller's Tale" (1986) and novella Remembering Babylon (1994), and Peter Carey's short story "The Chance" (1978). Unprincipled formalism is developed in relation to three broad contexts: the fragmented state of the contemporary discipline of literary studies; the complex of international economic and social phenomena which goes under the general rubric of globalisation; and the specific Australian left-liberal literary critical tradition which I have termed, for convenience sake, the Meanjin literary formation. Unprincipled formalism does not draw a distinction between form and content. Unprincipled formalism is a critical methodology that is both avowedly socially concerned and strictly formalist. It is concerned with articulating and analysing the particular social and political interventions made by literary texts (as well as the resultant critical discussion of those texts) through a consideration of the formal techniques by which literary texts situate themselves as acts of communication. Principal among these techniques is the mise en abyme. The thesis provides a detailed analysis of debates around the mise en abyme informed by the work of theorists such as Ross Chambers, Lucien Dallenbach, Frank Lentricchia, Moshe Ron, Jacques Derrida and others. Politically, unprincipled formalism attempts to steer a middling course between neo-liberal triumphalism on the one hand and nostalgic left romanticism on the other. This involves on the one hand a critique of neo-liberalism drawing on the work of Charles Taylor, Stephen Holmes, John Frow and others, and on the other a critique of a nostalgic romantic tendency in "progressive" critical technologies such as postmodern and postcolonial literary studies.

Abstract:
Despite all the critical attention Milan Kundera’s and Peter Carey’s fiction has received, relatively little has been said about the way in which these authors problematise selfhood. In this study, I argue that these two writers share a preoccupation with the strictures placed on the individual by his/her location in language and discourse. I show that they deconstruct subjectivity with a view to intimating the possibility of momentarily transcending discursive control, and thereby inhabiting authentic selfhood. In addition, I demonstrate that both authors draw attention to the nature of language through their thematisation of madness, and I then trace the implications of this nexus between language and madness for the reader, who of course is a subject in language. My contention in this regard is that Carey and Kundera seek to instil in the reader a self-reflexive awareness of the ways in which his/her location in language shapes his/her perception of others. In turn, this awareness charges the reader with the responsibility of questioning his/her judgements, and thereby enables him/her to negotiate a measure of authenticity from his/her position in language.

O escritor australiano Peter Carey promove, em seu romance True History of the Kelly Gang, cuja primeira publicação ocorreu em 2000, a reinterpretação de um período histórico e também de um personagem da época, que se tornou uma figura forte na cultura australiana. A tradução desta obra foi publicada no Brasil em 2002 com o título A história do bando de Kelly. Esta dissertação tem como objetivo analisar os efeitos que o estabelecimento de uma colônia penal causou na cultura e na literatura australianas, e a utilização do texto literário - sobretudo esta obra de Carey - como espaço de debate sobre a identidade nacional e de questionamentos ou respostas à antiga metrópole. Para tanto, este trabalho traça, em primeiro lugar, um panorama da história da Austrália, até a época em que viveu Ned Kelly, um fora-dalei que se tornou herói popular e ícone nacional, e do desenvolvimento da literatura no país. Em segundo lugar, são analisados alguns aspectos deste romance, entre os quais a crítica ao sistema colonial britânico, a oposição centro-margem representada pelo conflito entre as autoridades e o bando de Kelly, e o uso da variante australiana do inglês. Desta forma, procuramos mostrar que, neste romance, parte da história da Austrália - em especial o período colonial e o sistema de degredo, cuja influência ainda se faz sentir nos dias de hoje - são problematizados e colocados em discussão.

This Master's Degree Thesis has the objective of analyzing the effects that the settlement of a penal colony had on Australian culture and literature, and the use of literary texts - especially this work by Carey - as a space for debate on national identity and for questioning or striking back at the former centre. In order to do so, this work firstly presents a panorama of Australian history, up to the time Ned Kelly, an outlaw who became a popular hero and a national icon, lived, and a survey of the development of Australian literature.

Thus, it is possible to show that, in this novel, part of Australian history - particularly the colonial period and the transportation period, whose influence can still be felt nowadays - is questioned, discussed and reevaluated.

Abstract:
In this thesis, I examine in Peter Carey’s early fiction the portrayal of Australia’s struggle to imagine a unique identity for itself. Three different, but overlapping, approaches will be woven together to serve as a lens through which his work can be read. First, it will be useful to situate the work within the context of Australian history and popular culture, which suggests an obsessive search for an “authentic” Australian identity, as well as the theoretical work on the social construction of such identities. Second, I will draw upon the work of Benedict Anderson, paired with that of Pheng Cheah, as a means of discussing the comparative process by which national identities are imagined and how those imagined identities emerge in cultural productions. In particular, I examine the typically unique characteristics and ideologies that are used as a basis when imagining national identities, as many of Australia’s are shared with both Britain and America. I will therefore engage with concepts like “totality,” “unisonance” and “seriality” as a means of discussing Carey’s work. Moreover, I will be utilising Louis Althusser’s concept of national ideology as a means of explicating Anderson’s and Cheah’s work. Finally, since the intersection between the national and the transnational is often conceived of in post-colonial language, especially in terms of Australia’s relationship to Britain and the United States, this thesis will draw on the work of post-colonial theorists like Bill Ashcroft, Gareth Griffiths and Helen Tiffin, Homi K. Bhabha, and Edward Said.

Abstract:
This thesis is a study of constructions of home and nation in selected works by Patrick White, Peter Carey, Xavier Herbert and James Bardon. Drawing on the work of postcolonial theorists, it examines ways in which the selected texts engage with national mythologies in the imagining of the Australian nation. It notes the deployment of racial discourses informing constructions of national identity that work to marginalise Indigenous Australians and other cultural minority groups. The texts are arranged in thematic rather than chronological order. White’s treatment of the overland journey, and his representations of Aboriginality, discussed in Chapter One, are contrasted with Carey’s revisiting of the overland journey motif in Oscar and Lucinda in Chapter Two. Whereas White’s representations of Indigenous culture in Voss are static and essentialised, as is the case in Riders in the Chariot and A Fringe of Leaves, Carey’s representation of Australia’s contact history is characterised by a cultural hybridity. In White’s texts, Indigenous culture is depicted as an anachronism in the contemporary Australian nation, while in Carey’s, the words of the coloniser are appropriated and employed to subvert the ideological colonial paradigm. Carey’s use of heteroglossia is examined further in the analysis of Illywhacker in Chapter Three. Whereas Carey treats Australian types ironically in Illywhacker’s pet emporium, the protagonist of Xavier Herbert’s Poor Fellow My Country, Jeremy Delacy, is depicted as an expert on Australian types. The intertextuality between Herbert’s novel and the work of social Darwinist anthropologists in the 1930s and 1940s is discussed in Chapter Four, providing a historical context to appreciate a shift from modernist to postmodernist narrative strategies in Carey’s fiction. James Bardon’s fictional treatment of the Papunya Tula painting movement in Revolution by Night is seen to continue to frame Indigenous culture in a modernist grammar of representation through its portrayal of the work of Papunya Tula artists in the terms of ‘the fourth dimension’. Bardon’s novel is nevertheless a fascinating postcolonial engagement with Sturt’s architectural construction of landscape in his maps and journals, a discussion of which leads to Tony Birch’s analysis of the politics of name reclamation in contemporary tourism discourses.

Abstract:
Writers of PhDs have a unique, personal and in-depth relationship with their subject-matter, which develops over a number of years. What happens when life intrudes so much into the research and writing that it takes over the subject matter, so that the original struggle for objective scholarship threatens to become subsumed in emotion and self-discovery? How does the supervisor, forced to keep a certain distance from an intimate and tumultuous relationship, still teach? The supervisor can do worse than guide their student towards the genre of Life-Writing, within which a flourishing of sub-genres may be accommodating to such a journey. For a closed-records adoptee caught up in the reunion processes sparked by the 1990 changes to the Adoption Act, critical readings of Peter Carey and Janette Turner Hospital developed into the invention of the Adopted Body, the Subject Adoptee and a new way of seeing: ado/aptive reading and writing. Perhaps in the field of ado/aptive theory, the stolen generations, intercountry adoptees and the white closed-record adoptees of Australia can re-invent themselves, develop their identities and create a genre of academic theory unique to Australia.

Abstract:
Le témoignage, initialement utilisé par la justice, constitue désormais un support à la création littéraire. Mais pourquoi témoigner ? Quelles sont les options que la littérature permet d’envisager ? True History of the Kelly Gang, La main coupée et Absalom ! Absalom ! rapportent individuellement trois formes de témoignages, à la fois différentes mais aussi complémentaires. Peter Carey appréhende ce type de récit à travers les lettres fictives que le bandit australien Ned Kelly aurait adressées à sa fille. La galerie de portraits rassemblés par Blaise Cendrars décrit l'expérience d'un soldat lors de la première Guerre Mondiale ; ses traits sont similaires avec ceux de l'auteur au point de semer la confusion entre l'identité des deux hommes. William Faulkner poursuit sa saga des familles du Sud : Quentin Comspon tente de reconstituer l'histoire de Thomas Sutpen à travers les nombreux récits de témoins pour découvrir la vérité, celle d'un homme mais surtout celle d'une société déchue. Ces auteurs ont cependant en commun de faire cohabiter la fiction et la réalité, deux notions contradictoires mais pourtant indissociables dans le cadre du témoignage. Chacun propose une narration originale pour « mettre en forme » ce type de récit appréhendé dans la perspective de Derrida. Ces trois propositions illustrent à premier abord la volonté de leurs auteurs respectifs de restituer la vérité : le but que poursuit le témoin. Mais chacune de ces tentatives représente également un défi pour l'écrivain. Le témoignage ne constitue plus seulement une quête pour ces personnages mais davantage un « tour de force » littéraire pour celui qui en est l'instigateur
Testimonies, initially used by judiciary institutions, have found their way into literary creation. Why do people testify? What are the options suggested by literature? True History of the Kelly Gang, La main coupée and Absalom! Absalom! present three types of testimony, which are both different and complementary. Peter Carey approaches this kind of narrative through the fictional letters that the Australian outlaw Ned Kelly is supposed to have written to his daughter. The gallery of portraits assembled by Blaise Cendrars describes a soldier's experience during WWI ; this soldier's features are so similar to the author's that the two men's identities appear to merge. William Faulkner continues his saga of southern families : Quentin Compson tries to recreate Thomas Sutpen's story by confronting the narratives of various witnesses in order to discover the truth about that man and above all about an extinct or fallen society. What is common to the three authors is the way in which fiction and ‘real life' - two contradictory yet inseparable notions - coexist in their narratives. Each of them offers an original narrative method (examined here from the perspective developed by Derrida) to “condition” this type of story. The three methods seem to be answers to the conundrum of how to produce a narrative that is ‘true' to reality. But in addition to being a quest where the characters are concerned, each of them is also a distinct challenge for the writer who needs to pull off a literary tour de force

Abstract:
Magical realist fiction is marked by a striking abundance of animals. Analysing magical realist novels from Australia and Canada, as well as exploring the influence of two seminal Latin American magical realist narratives, this thesis focuses on representations of animals and animality. Examining human-animal relationships in the postcolonial context reveals that magical realism embodies and represents an idea of feral animality that critically engages with an inherently imperialist and Cartesian humanism, and that, moreover, accounts for magical realism's elusiveness within systems of genre categorisation and labelling. It is this embodiment and presence of animal agency that animates magical realism and injects it with life and vibrancy. The magical realist writers discussed in this dissertation make use of animal practices inextricably intertwined with imperialism, such as pastoral farming, natural historical collections, the circus, the rodeo, the Wild West show, and the zoo, as well as alternative animal practices inherently incompatible with European ideologies, such as the Aboriginal Dreaming, Native North American animist beliefs, and subsistence hunting, as different ways of positioning themselves in relation to the Cartesian human subject. The circus is a particular influence on the form and style of many magical realist texts, whereby oxymoronically structured circensian spaces form the basis of the narratives‟ realities, and hierarchical imperial structures and hegemonic discourses that are portrayed as natural through Cartesian science and Linnaean taxonomies are revealed as deceptive illusions that perpetuate the self-interests of the powerful.

Full text
Abstract:
This study seeks to provide information relevant to public policy that will lead to increased access and utilization among this vulnerable population and to reinforce the validity of the behavioral model for vulnerable populations. This study is a secondary analysis of data collected in a study that examined adult, working-aged patients within the John Peter Smith Health Network, which is a large, urban, tax supported county health care system in Fort Worth, Texas. From a sampling frame of 10,000 patients, the study analyzed data for 243 low-income, white, working-age males, collected from computer assisted telephone interviews in 2000. Cross-tabulations and bivariate logistic regressions were used to analyze the effect of 8 independent variables (age, marital status, insurance, employment status, a usual source of care, competing needs, experiences with paperwork, and perceived health status upon 5 dependent variables pertaining to unmet health care, unmet prescription medicine needs, unmet dental needs, utilization of doctors in emergency departments, and overnight hospital stays. The results show the safety net system is failing to meet the needs of this vulnerable population. The findings indicate white men who found it necessary to forgo health care due to other needs were almost five (4.973) times as likely as those who did not find it necessary to forgo care due to other needs, to report having a problem getting the health care that they need (p = ≤ .001). The odds of having a problem getting needed dental care are about 66% lower for white men who have private insurance through work compared to those who do not have private insurance through work (p ≤ .05).

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to better understand the self-care practices of female peer support specialists (PSS) with co-occurring mood and substance use disorders. The researcher took a qualitative grounded theory approach conducting in-depth semi-structured interviews with ten women employed at peer-run agencies in Maricopa County, Arizona. Data from these interviews were transcribed, then analyzed manually, as well as with NVivo 10.0 software, to identify the key terms, nodes, categories and emergent themes of the participants' experiences. Self-care practices of peer support specialists included accessing personal and professional support networks; maintaining a daily routine to balance the demands of recovery, parenting, and working; taking medications; sleeping; practicing spirituality; participating in service work; eating nutritiously; exercising, and building a sense of coherence. Although a variety of practices were being used and identified as helpful, spirituality was identified as the most important self-care practice to achieve overall wellness. Employment improved the ability for PSSs to practice self-care because they valued the support of their supervisors and coworkers, were reminded of the consequences of not practicing self-care by working with individuals who were unstable, gained knowledge from teaching others, found healing in telling their stories, and reported higher self-esteems from working and helping others. However, participants did identify ways that employment as a PSS could interfere with practicing self-care, such as staff turnover, limited access to supervisors, or being unprepared to work in the field. Several recommendations were suggested as a result of this study, such as the importance of understanding and using effective self-care practices, building personal and professional support networks, and establishing daily routines to balance recovery with personal and professional demands.

Abstract:
Bibliography: p. 113-118.
The private sector in South Africa has a keen interest in ensuring that all employees are fully educated on issues related to HIV/AIDS (especially transmission mechanisms) to avoid losing a large proportion of the workforce and incurring a subsequent drop in productivity. In 1977, Woolworths, a South African retail company, implemented an HIV peer education programme for its employees. The broad aim of the programme is to reduce the HIV infection rate among staff by providing educational material on safe sexual practices, discussing various issues connected to HIV such as sexuality and modes of transmission and by providing free condoms to staff. The objective of this study is to provide a thorough and realistic evaluation of the Woolworths HIV/AIDS peer education programme. A formal evaluation is required to understand the current position of the programme and to determine its future direction.

Abstract:
This qualitative study explores construction of peer support providers’ roles within inter-professional mental health care teams. The study focuses on factors influencing peer support providers' integration; implications of such integration to stakeholders; and views on introducing peer support certification. Interviews were conducted with peer support providers in two formal models of peer support employment in health care organizations in Ontario. Grounded theory approach was used to analyze data. The findings point to a variety of factors that enable peer support providers' integration as well as the challenges that they face in role construction. Implications of role integration suggested multiple benefits to various stakeholders. Participants were generally supportive of certification, but called for more research on this subject. Findings may be transferable to other formal peer models given similar contexts. Understanding of role construction and factors influencing integration may benefit peer support providers and health care organizations about to integrate the role.

Abstract:
In Bangladesh, mothers rarely breastfeed exclusively. The national programme promoting exclusive breastfeeding has focused mainly on hospitals, but the majority of mothers deliver at home, and it is important to reach them there. This research aimed to assess the impact of community-based peer counsellors on the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding. Other objectives were to assess the impact on infant morbidity and growth, and the acceptability of the lactational amenorrhoea method (LAM) for contraception. In Dhaka, 40 localities were randomised as intervention and control clusters. One woman in each intervention cluster was trained as a peer counsellor. The intervention comprised a minimum of fifteen counselling visits (two in the third trimester of pregnancy, two within 5 days of delivery, one between 10-14 days and then fortnightly), to help mothers establish and continue exclusive breastfeeding for 5 months. A total of 726 mothers, with mean of 4.5 years of school, from the lower-middle socioeconomic class, were enrolled during 1996, of whom 573 completed 5 months of follow-up. In the intervention group, 69% of mothers fed their infants colostrum as the first food compared to 11% of the controls (p<0.0001), and 70% breastfed exclusively for 5 months versus 6% of the controls (p<0.0001). Despite small differences in morbidity from diarrhoea, cough and fever, there was a substantial impact on weight gain. At the end of 5 months, the mean weight-for-length Z score was +0.1 (SD 0.8) in the intervention group and -0.9 (SD 0.8) in the control group (p<0.0001). The majority of mothers who breastfed exclusively, also accepted and practised the LAM (59% at 5 months). This trial has demonstrated that trained community-based peer counsellors can significantly increase exclusive breastfeeding and appropriate contraceptive practices, with benefits to infant health. Inclusion of peer counsellors in mother and child health programmes is recommended.

Abstract:
Peer learning är en handledningsmetod, som tydliggör anknytningen mellan teoretisk och praktisk kunskap samtidigt som ett större antal studenter kan erbjudas verksamhetsförlagd utbildning. Därför vore det av intresse att undersöka om det är en tillämpar metod i specialistsjuksköterskeutbildningen mot intensivvård. Syftet med studien var att undersöka peer learning som handledningsmetod inom specialistsjuksköterskeutbildningen mot intensivvård utifrån handledares perspektiv. Studien utfördes genom fokusgruppsintervju med en beskrivande design med induktiv ansats där data analyserades med manifest kvalitativ innehållsanalys. I studien framkom sex kategorier och fyra underkategorier. Interaktionen mellan studenterna ansågs utveckla förmågan till kommunikation och samarbete. Studenterna kunde fortsätta att bygga på befintlig kunskap, betraktades mer som jämbördiga och frångick en hämmande studentroll. Patient och anhöriga upplevdes inte misstycka till studenternas resonemang utan uttryckte snarare att de tog lärdom av det. Det unika sättet att tillvarata studenternas kunskaper och färdigheter på ledde till en tidig vidareutveckling av deras befintliga kunskaper. Den tidiga träningen i kommunikation och samarbete kan ses fördelaktigt eftersom brister i dessa genererar flest avvikelser idag. Slutsatsen är att peer learning är lämplig som handledningsmetod inom specialistsjuksköterskeutbildningen mot intensivvård. Fortsatt forskning om peer learning inom specialistsjuksköterskeutbildningar samt patienters och anhörigas upplevelser av studenternas resonemang är av stort intresse.
Peer learning is a precepting method that clarifies the link between theoretical knowledge and practical skills, and at the same time enables more students to be offered placement for clinical education. Therefore, it would be of interest to explore if the precepting strategy can be appropriate in the postgraduate nursing education in critical care. The purpose of the study was to explore peer learning as a precepting method in the postgraduate nursing education in critical care in preceptors’ point of view. The study was conducted by a focus group interview with a descriptive design with an inductive approach and data was analysed with manifest content analysis. The study revealed six categories and four subcategories. The interaction between the students was considered to develop the ability of communication and cooperation. The students could build on their former knowledge, considered as equals, and went from an inhibitive role as students. The patient and the relatives were not perceived to resent the student reasoning, they rather expressed they learned from it. The unique way to preserve students' knowledge and skills led to an early development of their already existing knowledge. The early training in communication and cooperation can be considered beneficial because deficiencies in these areas generate the most common incidents in healthcare today. The conclusion is that peer learning can be applied as a precepting method in the postgraduate nursing education in critical care. Further research of peer learning in postgraduate nursing educations is needed and also how the patient and family members experience the students' reasoning, are of great interest.

Abstract:
Due to competing claims in the literature regarding the relationship between self-esteem and being ‘looked-after’, and the implicated ethical and clinical issues, a systematic review of the literature was carried out. Ten articles met inclusion criteria for review. The majority of studies made a limited contribution to the review due to poor study quality, and the ethical, clinical and research implications of this are discussed. In addition, anecdotal evidence suggests that young people in care do not want to be made to feel different to others but there appears to be an absence of empirical research confirming this. Interviews were carried out with nine 12-16 year olds currently residing in foster care to explore their representations of ‘feeling the same or feeling different’. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) guided how data was analysed, and resulting super-ordinate themes were identified. The research paper reports on one of these themes: ‘difference’, which is explored through four sub-ordinate themes. These relate to participants not wanting others to know they were in care, feeling alienated due to their foster care status, perceiving that others viewed them differently and, at times, noticing differences themselves. Findings are considered in relation to the extant literature on foster care and identity development and practice and research implications are discussed. A second super-ordinate theme: ‘making sense’ is presented in the ‘extended results’ which is explored through five subordinate themes. Representations involved participants making sense of why their birth parents could not care for them, conflicting feelings towards both birth parents and foster parents, and a desire to feel a sense of agency in their lives.

Abstract:
Background: There is a need for students to integrate theory with practice and there is an ongoing search for the best learning and teaching models in Primary Health Care settings. The aim of this study was to explore preceptors' and nursing students’ experiences of using peer learning during clinical practice in Primary Health Care. Methods: A qualitative research approach was used based on semi-structured interviews with 7 preceptors and 8 nursing students performed in May 2017. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed by using content analysis based on an inductive reasoning. Results: Preceptors and students perceived peer learning as a pedagogical model beneficial for learning in primary care settings and described the model as stimulating, challenging and developing. All informants were positive of the peer learning experience and students described that they were seen as individuals and not treated as a couple even if they worked in peers. The physical environment was demanding due to telephone counseling, limited opportunities for using computers and small rooms. Conclusion: This study shows that despite the complex learning environment peer learning as a pedagogical model seems to work well in Primary health care setting. However, there is much to improve to facilitate the student's learning process. The students should be given priority and that the assignment with preceptorship should be highlighted Keywords: Learning environment, Peer learning, Physical environment, Primary Health Care, Structured learning activities.

Abstract:
Thesis advisor: Callista Roy
Problem: Nurses act as safety nets, protecting patients from harm through the identification, interruption and recovery of medical errors and adverse events but we need to know more about ways to learn from safety events. This study aimed to address a gap in our understanding of how the PRISM Program affects nurses’ attitudes of safety culture, awareness of the recovery of medical errors, and practice as they relate to patient safety and error prevention. Participants: Critical care nurses in a large academic hospital from intervention (n=95) and control (n=90) units were surveyed pre and post-implementation of the PRISM Program. Intervention unit nurse response rates were 46% pre-survey and 41% post-survey. Control unit nurses' response rates were 38% for pre-survey and 31% for post-survey responses. A total of 42 (44%) intervention unit nurses participated in the PRISM Program. Methods: A pre/post-test design with an intervention and control unit was used to evaluate the effects of the PRISM Program on nurses’ responses on the Safety Attitude Questionnaire (SAQ) and the Recovery of Medical Error Inventory (RMEI) over a three month period. Nurses responded to questions about the impact on their practice. Findings: Analysis demonstrated a significant decrease in the SAQ working conditions post-survey subscale scores and significant findings in the main effects, decreased SAQ subscales: teamwork, job satisfaction, safety climate and perceptions of hospital management. The RMEI did not produce any significant findings. Comments provided insight into some nurses’ participation in the program and the impact on their practice. Implications: A significant decrease in post-survey scores indicate that informed nurses had a more critical view of safety culture and the environment they work in. Nurses expressed a desire to further use surveillance and additional manual checks that placed increased accountability and responsibility for their role in using strategies to keep patient safe and prevent errors and patient harm
