| الوصف: | The qualitative study aimed to analyse Estonian nursesâ professional activity and work culture during the Soviet era and the transition period of the 1990s from the perspective of senior nurses. In 1940â1941 and 1944â1991, the territory of the Republic of Estonia was occupied by Soviet Russia. The ânew period of awakeningâ was initiated under Gorbachevâs perestroika and glasnost (1985â1991), leading to democratisation. As soon as the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, Estonia began to establish a new healthcare system based on European standards. The research was conducted in 2021 and 2022. Senior nurses (aged 69â87) who had worked for at least 20 years during the Soviet era and at least 5 years during the transition period were surveyed. Thematic interviews were conducted in written form and orally (13 interviewees), followed by a focus group interview (8 interviewees). A thematic content analysis was performed. Nursesâ daily work during the Soviet era was characterised by poor working conditions, hierarchical professional relations, and miserable career prospects. Nursing, like many other fields, was strongly influenced by Soviet ideology. The relationship between nurses was mutually supportive. The period of transition created a chaotic situation â the working methods of the previous period were considered outdated, but no new direction had yet been established. Nursesâ knowledge was improved through professional training and access to foreign experience. |
