| Summary: | This article explores how nurses experience tension in a professional collaboration between nursing and work with a diaconal profile in Filadelfia, Denmark. Filadelfia was founded in 1897 as a diaconal institution with a hospital and deaconess house. Today, Filadelfia appears primarily as a highly specialized Epilepsy Hospital unrelated to diakonia. The collaboration this article investigates is called The Human Related Conversation (hereafter THRC). It is a practice developed within a diaconal unit of the institution, Filadelfia Uddannelse, and performed by nurses at Filadelfia Epilepsy Hospital. The article is based on a discourse analysis of five interviews conducted using THRC. The analysis finds that the nurses' experience of THRC generates different discourses, including a nursing discourse and a legitimacy discourse, and encourages them to work in a more value-conscious way. |
