The benefits and limitations of the application of poststructuralist in nursing research are discussed. The debate concerning the use of poststructuralist theory in feminist research is drawn on to argue a divergence between a deconstructionist poststructuralism and nursing aims. It is argued that there are strong parallels between nursing and social movements such as feminism. The reasons why many feminist and nursing researchers have been attracted to poststructuralist theory are explored, as are the criticisms of poststructuralism as an inadequate, even reactionary theory. It is argued that poststructuralism is useful for examining or deconstructing existing discourse and practice, but incompatible and inadequate for research which aims to develop or change such discourses or practices.
本文讨论了后结构主义在护理研究应用中的益处与局限性。借鉴了关于后结构主义理论在女性主义研究中应用的争论，以论证解构主义后结构主义与护理目标之间的分歧。文中指出，护理与女性主义等社会运动之间存在着强烈的相似之处。探讨了许多女性主义和护理研究者被后结构主义理论吸引的原因，以及对后结构主义作为一种不充分甚至反动理论的批评。文章认为，后结构主义对于审视或解构现有话语及实践是有用的，但对于旨在发展或改变此类话语或实践的研究而言，它并不适用且存在不足。
