Résumé
Introduction : Peu d’études en sciences infirmières s’intéressent à l’hôpital comme contexte sociopolitique de régulation.
Objectif : Cet article présente les résultats d’une ethnographie institutionnelle du travail infirmier en milieu hospitalier.
Méthode : Les données d’observation, d’entrevues et documentaires recueillies ont été analysées selon le standpoint féministe propre à l’ethnographie institutionnelle (Smith, 1987, 2018).
Résultats : Les résultats, présentés sous forme de vignettes, suggèrent trois manières dont l’hôpital régule le champ d’exercice des infirmier·ères soignant·es au quotidien; à travers l’autorégulation, le travail invisible et, finalement, à travers la régulation institutionnelle.
Discussion et conclusion : Les vignettes présentées permettent d’identifier des points de tensions dans le champ d’exercice infirmier à l’hôpital qui suggèrent que les infirmier·ères perpétuent directement les relations de leur propre subordination, à travers leur socialisation dans la structure hospitalière. Des pistes de recherches historiques et féministes sont suggérées pour étudier davantage le travail infirmier dans son contexte sociopolitique.

Abstract
Introduction: Few studies in nursing sciences focus on the hospital as a sociopolitical context of regulation.
Objective: This article presents the results of an institutional ethnography of nursing work in a hospital environment.
Method: The observational data, interviews and institutional documents collected were analyzed through the feminist lens of institutional ethnography (Smith, 1987, 2018).
Results: The results, presented in the form of vignettes, provide three ways in which the hospital regulates the scope of practice of bedside nurses daily; self-regulation, invisible work and the institutional regulation.
Discussion and Conclusion: The vignettes presented make it possible to identify points of tensions in bedside nurses’ scope of practice, which suggest that nurses directly perpetuate the relations of their own subordination, through their socialization in the hospital structure. Avenues for historical and feminist research are suggested to further study nursing in its socio-political context.
