Title: Safe Passage: A Tripartite Progressive Agency Theory
Summary: A mixed method Constructivist grounded theory study was commenced in 2020 to explain Australian neonatal nurses’
professional quality of life. The study had three distinct but interrelated components: 1) a literature review, 2) a descriptive,
cross-sectional survey, and 3) focus groups and interviews. Meta-inferences relating to personal and professional agency use to attain
collective healthcare and wellness goals within a female-dominated workforce informed a middle-range theory. The Tripartite Progressive
Agency Theory
specifies the alterations in consciousness, voice, and action required to enable knowledge, skill, and acculturation flow between nurses and
parents to overcome constraints and optimise personal and collective healthcare and wellness goals.
Presenter: Trish Lowe. Trish is a registered nurse, midwife, and child and family health nurse, with almost four
decades of experience working as a clinician and nurse educator. Trish was employed as a Clinical Nurse Specialist, in the Royal Hospital
for Women’s Newborn Care Centre, before transitioning in 2013 to the Australian College of Nursing where she is now employed as Nurse
Educator responsible for coordinating the Graduate Certificates in Child and Family Health and Neonatal care. Trish began doctoral studies
at the University of Technology Sydney in 2020. Her research aims to explain the factors influencing neonatal nurses’ professional quality
of life.
