Abstract
Introduction
This presentation reports on the emerging themes from a qualitative study privileging the voices of registered nurses (RNs) employed in the aged care sector in rural and regional Australia. Perspectives on creating and sustaining positive organisational culture and cultures of care were explored with a focus on optimising person-centred environments and creating room for fresh thinking.
Methods
This study interviewed RNs employed in the aged care sector in regional and rural Australia within the last 7 years. Appreciative inquiry, which focusses on identifying strategies for positive change, informed the interview process. Thematic data analysis utilised the lens of Foucault to provide insight into how power mediates relationships in organisations and complementing and competing ideas that enable organisations providing aged care services to positively change culture.
