  • Locating Critical Care Nurses in Mouth Care: an Institutional Ethnography
    Locating Critical Care Nurses in Mouth Care: An Institutional Ethnography by Craig M. Dale A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Lawrence S. Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing University of Toronto © Copyright by Craig M. Dale 2013 Locating Critical Care Nurses in Mouth Care: An Institutional Ethnography Craig M. Dale Doctor of Philosophy Lawrence S. Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing University of Toronto 2013 Abstract Intubated and mechanically ventilated patients are vulnerable to respiratory tract infections. In response, the Ontario government has recently mandated surveillance and reporting of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Serious respiratory infections – and the related costs of additional care – can be reduced, in part, through oral hygiene. However, the literature asserts that oral care is neglected in busy, high-tech settings. Despite these concerns, little research has examined how mouth care happens in the critical care unit. The purpose of this institutional ethnography (IE) was to explore the social organization of mouth care in one critical care unit in Ontario, Canada. As a reflexive and critical method of inquiry, IE focuses on features of everyday life that often go unnoticed. In paying special attention to texts, the ethnographer traces how institutional forces that arrive from outside the practice setting coordinate experiences and activities. Inquiry began in the field with day/night participant observation to better understand the particularities of nursing care for orally intubated patients. Other data sources included reflexive fieldnotes, stakeholder interviews, and transcripts as well as work documents and artifacts. Over time, the analysis shifted from the critical care unit to the larger social context of Ontario’s Critical Care Transformation Strategy (OCCTS).
