Figure 6.10. Positional map.

The ‘x’ axis in the frequency or amount of time spent in remote locations. The ‘y’ axis is the degree of assistance provided to the remote general nurses in delivering mental healthcare. The map is then populated with some of the groups from the social world (see Figure 6.8). The reason that there exists more than one position for some groups is that their importance to the nurses varies. For example a police stationed in metropolitan areas and who rarely if at all attend remote areas of minimal assistance (bottom left corner). Whereas a permanent police presence in a remote location is great assistance (top right corner). Form a visual perspective it is noteworthy that there is no positions assumed by the groups in the bottom right quadrant. This reflects that all the groups can be of great assistance but is primarily determined by their location or permanency in the remote location. There is no group permanent in the remote area that would be of minimal assistance to the nurses. The limitations concerning the map are that, it is a generalisation from the data and not based on actual calculated time. Additionally depending on the level of analysis, there could be multiple positions which are absent from this map.
