Abstract

In this article, we analyse two parallel processes taking place in the Swiss healthcare sector, namely differentiation and standardisation: On one hand, the health sector is increasingly characterised by differentiation that originates from the specialisation of training, the differentiation and academisation of nursing, the feminisation of medicine, the migration of healthcare personnel, and the entry of men into nursing professions. In addition, a new generation joining the health sector labour force is challenging taken-for-granted notions about health professions. On the other hand, healthcare organisations such as hospitals need to ensure they are functioning well by increasingly relying on standardisation processes such as checklists, standardised protocols, or ethical guidelines. For this paper, we have conducted an institutional ethnography of a Swiss acute hospital by employing an intersectional analysis. Based on interviews and shadowing, we argue that the social differences between and among nurses and physicians are constantly negotiated every day. We demonstrate that those differences lead to power imbalances along the intersectional axes of age, gender, place of education, and professional position. Our findings have implications for general debates in health-related fields; for management and organizational studies more in general; and in particular for feminist labour geographies, as they place debates on work-relations, power, hierarchy, and intersectional social differences into a specific organizational and spatial context.

在瑞士医院的医疗保健专业人员之间协商社会差异和权力几何

摘要

在本文中,我们分析了瑞士医疗保健部门发生的两个平行过程,即差异化和标准化:一方面,卫生部门越来越具有差异化特征,这源于培训的专业化、护理的差异化和学术化、医学的女性化、医疗保健人员的迁移以及男性进入护理行业。此外,加入卫生部门劳动力的新一代正在挑战有关卫生专业的理所当然的观念。另一方面,医院等医疗保健组织需要通过越来越多地依赖检查清单、标准化协议或道德准则等标准化流程来确保其运作良好。对于这篇论文,我们通过交叉分析对瑞士急症医院进行了机构民族志研究。基于访谈和影子,我们认为护士和医生之间的社会差异每天都在不断协商。我们证明,这些差异会导致沿年龄、性别、教育地点和专业职位的交叉轴的权力失衡。我们的发现对健康相关领域的一般性辩论有影响;更一般的管理和组织研究;尤其是对于女权主义劳动地理学而言,因为它们将关于工作关系、权力、等级和交叉社会差异的辩论置于特定的组织和空间背景中。我们认为护士和医生之间的社会差异每天都在不断协商。我们证明,这些差异会导致沿年龄、性别、教育地点和专业职位的交叉轴的权力失衡。我们的发现对健康相关领域的一般性辩论有影响;更一般的管理和组织研究;尤其是对于女权主义劳动地理学而言,因为它们将关于工作关系、权力、等级和交叉社会差异的辩论置于特定的组织和空间背景中。我们认为护士和医生之间的社会差异每天都在不断协商。我们证明,这些差异会导致沿年龄、性别、教育地点和专业职位的交叉轴的权力失衡。我们的发现对健康相关领域的一般性辩论有影响;更一般的管理和组织研究;尤其是对于女权主义劳动地理学而言,因为它们将关于工作关系、权力、等级和交叉社会差异的辩论置于特定的组织和空间背景中。和专业地位。我们的发现对健康相关领域的一般性辩论有影响;更一般的管理和组织研究;尤其是对于女权主义劳动地理学而言,因为它们将关于工作关系、权力、等级和交叉社会差异的辩论置于特定的组织和空间背景中。和专业地位。我们的发现对健康相关领域的一般性辩论有影响;更一般的管理和组织研究;尤其是对于女权主义劳动地理学而言,因为它们将关于工作关系、权力、等级和交叉社会差异的辩论置于特定的组织和空间背景中。
