The focus of this Thesis is the development of the identity in the
process of becoming a nurse anesthetist.
One of the main questions of this Thesis is: In what way does the
practical training of the education influence the identity of the nurse
anesthetist?
The empery of this Thesis is interviews. The answers of the interviews
will show in what way the students develop a new identity
through social interactions in communities of practice. The way of
presenting this problem is the identity perspective. Therefore the
question to be answered by this Thesis is:
How do nurses form a new identity in practice training during their
education to become a nurse anesthetist?
The theoretical contributions of Etienne Wenger and Anna Sfard and
Anna Prusak are then reviewed. These theories are used to analyze
the empirical basis, and subsequently there is conducted a discussion
of the Thesis methodology.
The conclusion presents a bid of a complex response composed of
many related elements and processes. Based on the conclusion recommendations
are deduced, compared to nurse anesthetist students,
supervisors and departments that should be important compared to future education and training of nurse anesthetists.
