Globally, nursing workforce shortages are a hot topic for discussion among politicians, academics and clinicians. This paper uses collective action framing to analyse the literature about the problem of workforce for Australian rural nurses.
As part of a larger constructivist grounded theory study, we utilize collective action framing to bridge social world mapping and the literature. Data sources included journal databases, newspapers, newsletters and websites. We limited the years searched from 2000 to 2005. This analytical heuristic categorizes text into three main categories: diagnoses of a problem, postulations of solutions and actions to motivate change.
Having mapped the social world of Australian rural nurses as comprising four groups of collective actors - community, advocates, academics and government - we trace the texts that they have produced with a focus on mentoring as a potential solution to the problem of workforce.
Mentoring entered the literature about the problem of workforce for Australian rural nurses because of a combination of political and academic will. These collective groups are now changing how they are framing the problem of workforce to focus instead on the globalization of nursing workforce shortages, which is resulting in diminished support for mentoring activities in clinical practice.
在全球范围内，护理人员短缺是政治家、学者和临床医生讨论的热门话题。本文运用集体行动框架来分析有关澳大利亚乡村护士劳动力问题的文献。
作为一项更大规模的建构主义扎根理论研究的一部分，我们运用集体行动框架来连接社会世界映射与文献。数据来源包括期刊数据库、报纸、时事通讯和网站。我们将搜索年份限制在2000年至2005年。这种分析方法将文本分为三大类：问题诊断、解决方案假设以及推动变革的行动。
在将澳大利亚乡村护士的社会世界描绘为由社区、倡导者、学者和政府四类集体行动者组成之后，我们追踪他们所产生的文本，重点关注指导作为解决劳动力问题的一种潜在方案。
由于政治意愿和学术意愿的结合，指导进入了有关澳大利亚乡村护士劳动力问题的文献。这些集体团体现在正在改变他们对劳动力问题的框架设定方式，转而关注护理人员短缺的全球化问题，这导致临床实践中指导活动的支持减少。
