Women's perceptions and experiences of a traumatic birth: a meta-ethnography

Journal ArticleDOI
Workplace bullying in nursing: towards a more critical organisational perspective.
TL;DR: The work of Foucault and the 'circuits of power' model proposed by Clegg are used to provide an alternative understanding of the operation of power within organisations and therefore another way to conceive bullying in the nursing workforce.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interviewing people about potentially sensitive topics.
TL;DR: The challenges of interviewing people about sensitive topics are explored using existing literature and the first author's experience of interviewing women traumatised by having an emergency hysterectomy following a severe postpartum haemorrhage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
