| Abstract |
The aim of this qualitative study is to explore four clinical tutors' perceptions of their role on facilitating Bachelor of Nursing students' learning in the practice setting of the health sector in New Zealand. Participants were asked to share their personal experiences including the positive aspects and the difficulties and challenges they encountered when working with students.Contract clinical tutors, are employed because of their clinical experience and expertise to enable students to apply the knowledge learned in theory and the professional competencies learned in the laboratory into the reality of clinical practice. This requires that clinical tutors be familiar with the curriculum so that their role as supervisor, teacher, facilitator, guide ands mentor can assist the student in fulfilling their learning requirements when in clinical practice. They are not, however, involved in the development or the teaching of the theoretical component of the programme. The difficulties and challenges identified by the contract clinical tutors in this study, resulted in discussion concerning strategies that could be adapted by the faculty to support clinical tutors in their role of ensuring the students receive the best possible learning opportunities when assigned to the clinical areas.Focus groups interviews were chosen as a means of collecting data from four registered nurses currently or previously employed as contract clinical tutors to work with students from an undergraduate degree programme at a small polytechnic.A two hour focus group interview was held as a means of uncovering the shared thoughts and experiences of participants. A second focus group interview was conducted to qualify information and elaborate on some issues. From the data collected a number of recommendations were identified which if adopted by polytechnics will enhance quality teaching by contract clinical tutors. |

| Abstract |
This literature review is an exploration of nurse case management and it will provide the background for the introduction of a nursing case management model in the acute surgical environment at Western Bay Health. Case management is a collaborative process which assesses, plans, implements, co-ordinates, monitors and evaluates options and services to meet an individual's health needs through communication and available resources to promote quality, cost-effective outcomes (Newell, 1996:.3). In undertaking this review it was the author's intention to include the findings as background to a business case seeking the introduction of a surgical nurse case management model within the surgical service. |

| Abstract |
Outpatient nurses are often seen as nurses who are less important or skilled and can no longer physically cope with working in busy wards. This report is aimed to challenge this presumption and show that there are many educated and highly skilled nurses working in these departments. The diversity of the role of the nurse within the continued advancement of nursing practice in the outpatient department is evidence to disprove the perceptions other nurses have of the outpatient nurse. The purpose of this report was to discuss the changing role of the outpatient nurse from 'handmaiden' to 'autonomous practitioner', and secondly, to discuss nurse-led services and what experience and/or skills these nurses are expected to have to fulfill these roles. Literature was gathered to inform this report from the academic circles, policy from the Ministry of Health, the District Health Board website, and in relation to the author's own role with the outpatient department. |

| Abstract |
This research examines how nurses negotiate the context of the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) while working with families. The action research described in this thesis developed through a series of meetings and conversations where the conversations supported the reflexive intent of the research. In commissioning the research, the design of the meetings and conversations were as a series of overlapping actions. Data collection and data analysis occurred in the action research by meetings, reflective conversations, ad libitum observations, and in a research journal. Conceptual maps explain the progress and findings of the research in this thesis while categories distilled from the conversations also support the findings in the research. The Family Action Research Group that was established within this project proposed a Family Assessment Form for the family to provide an assessment of themselves and the patient. Implementing this assessment tool demonstrated that clear information was needed for the family in the ICU. Findings in this research focus on developing action research and family care in ICU. Findings also focused on the role of the researcher being of and not being of the context where action research is undertaken. Recommendations include staff examining relationships for potential asymmetries and seeking ways to address these to support families and staff. Suggested strategies for developing action research in a clinical context include detailed planning, clear focusing, transparency of data, and working to explain change initiatives through the research are also included. |
