About this product

Product Information

Vividly documenting the real world of the contemporary hospital, its nurses, and their moral and ethical crises, Dan Chambliss offers a sobering revelation of the forces shaping moral decisions in our hospitals. Based on more than ten years' field research, Beyond Caring is filled with eyewitness accounts and personal stories demonstrating how nurses turn the awesome into the routine. It shows how patients, many weak and helpless, too often become objects of the bureaucratic machinery of the health care system and how ethics decisions, once the dilemmas of troubled individuals, become the setting for political turf battles between occupational interest groups. The result is a compelling combination of realism and a powerful theoretical argument about moral life in large organizations.

Most relevant reviews

  • How ethnography should be done

    If you are a grad student in sociology, this is a must read. If you are ready to begin your first ethnographic study, this is a must read. If you are thinking of nursing as an occupation, this is a must read. If you are curious as to why hospitals work the way they do, this is a should read. Chambliss' style is approachable, not overly academic, and the stories are filled with straight-forward accounts of the day-to-day phenomena of nursing. As a sociologist, he takes great care to relay events through the accounts of those who experienced them; not by embellishing their stories but by deft use of personal account and writing skill. This is not fiction--don' expect anything but reality. But that reality is the crux of the story.
