The work that many nurses do involves the use of their own body as one of the tools of their occupation. Being a nurse, in many cases, means controlled, purposeful use of her or his own body oriented to the patient. This paper discusses some of the ways in which nurses' bodies and the work that those bodies do are represented in professional and academic research accounts and made relevant in literature. Using instances of bodies and bodily activity mentioned in a variety of literature, the paper discusses three categories of accounts of nursing bodywork: those which are problematised and where the nurse's body is seen as a topic for investigation, and those which are unproblematised either explicitly discussing bodily activity (for example, touch) or implicitly dealing with bodywork (for example, taking blood pressure). Four ways in which nurses' bodies are made relevant in accounts are proposed: relational, corporate, instrumental and human. The paper discusses the prominence (or not) nurses' bodies are given in professional and academic accounts, as a contribution to preliminary work of generating a topic for investigation and concludes with some suggestions as to how this investigative project might be taken forward, focusing primarily on an examination of methodic practices, or how bodywork is brought off and executed as a skilled but taken-for-granted activity.
许多护士的工作涉及将自己的身体作为职业工具之一。在很多情况下，作为一名护士意味着有目的地、有控制地运用自己的身体来照料病人。本文探讨了在专业和学术研究报告中护士的身体及其所从事的工作是如何被呈现的，以及在文献中是如何体现其相关性的。通过各种文献中提及的身体及身体活动的实例，本文讨论了护理身体护理工作的三类描述：那些被视为有问题的，其中护士的身体被视为一个研究主题；以及那些没有问题的，要么明确讨论身体活动（如触摸），要么隐含地涉及身体护理工作（如测量血压）。本文提出了在描述中使护士身体具有相关性的四种方式：关系性、整体性、工具性和人性。本文讨论了护士的身体在专业和学术描述中所受到的关注程度（或缺乏关注），作为对生成一个研究主题的初步工作的贡献，并以关于如何推进这个研究项目的一些建议作为结论，主要侧重于对方法性实践的考察，即身体护理工作是如何作为一项熟练但被视为理所当然的活动进行和实施的。
