This essay is a qualitative examination of tayloristic labour processes in Swedish healthcare from 1945 to 1960. It focuses on nurses and explores how they reacted to changes in their working conditions brought about by taylorism through their association journal, Tidskrift för Sveriges Sjuksköterskor. The study has three major themes: what topics were important to nurses, what their views were on changes in working conditions and how their ideals changed. By looking at articles pertaining to these themes the study found that nurses were not averse to changes to their own working conditions. They were positive about the more qualified work and higher status taylorism created. However, they were negative about the possible effect that it could have on the care given to patients.
