Abstract

Many studies have discussed the challenges of reconciling work and care, but few address the role of carers’ voice in advocating for, and facilitating access to, workplace support. Drawing on qualitative case studies of three large UK organisations, we examine the role of working carers’ voice in the development of a carer’s leave policy at work. Findings indicate that working carers’ voice is shaped by various factors, including available voice mechanisms; workers’ perceptions of their care responsibilities; and stigma, work processes and inequalities. Research implications indicate the need for a more effective representation of working carers through voice channels at work.

作为一名在职护理人员大声疾呼:在职护理人员在工作场所使用声音和争取代表的斗争

许多研究讨论了协调工作和护理的挑战，但很少涉及护理人员在倡导和促进获得工作场所支持方面的作用。根据英国三家大型机构的定性案例研究，我们研究了在职护工在制定护工休假政策中的作用。研究结果表明，在职护理员的发声受到多种因素的影响，包括现有的发声机制;员工对护理责任的认知;还有耻辱感，工作流程和不平等。研究结果表明，需要通过工作中的语音渠道更有效地代表在职护理人员。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
