Nurses as social control agents?

Abstract

Social control is a phrase that conjures images of oppression in the minds of most. Nurses have limited control within the healthcare arena, and many would argue that nurses are angels of advocacy, rather than agents of social control. However, nurses do have a place in social control, particularly to socialise nurses and patients into their roles, and to promote society's view of health.
