  Title Clinical supervision in a home care context Type
  Year 2005 Publication Abbreviated Journal Victoria University of Wellington Library  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Clinical supervision; Home care; Rural nursing; Rural health services  
  Abstract (up) Despite the widespread acceptance of the value of supervision among practitioners and the large quantity of literature on the topic, there is very little empirical evidence in relation to its effect on clinical practice. It is not clear whether supervision actually produces a change in clinician behaviour, or whether it produces benefits in terms of client outcomes. This thesis evaluates the impact of clinical supervision on five co-ordinators in a rural home care setting. It looks at the impact clinical supervision has on their practice and professional growth. The nurses all belong to one organisation, Access Homehealth Ltd. The study builds on the findings of a clinical supervision pilot, which was trialed within the organisation in 2002. The pilot examined which model of supervision was most beneficial for Access Homehealth staff. Clinical Supervision is defined as a designated interaction between two or more practitioners within a supportive environment, that enhances reflective practice and professionalism, which in turn contributes to improved practice and client outcomes. The methodology of this research was qualitative evaluation. The themes which emerged related to personal support, managing stress and alleviating feelings of isolation, reflection, enhancing practice, improved communication skills and the concept of clinical supervision as a safety net. Participants also revealed that one-on-one supervision appeared more helpful than group supervision, and that phone supervision facilitated in-depth dialogue. These findings are important, as they demonstrate it is feasible to simultaneously offer a number of formats of clinical supervision within one organisation, allowing for the organisation to provide what works best for different workers. They also show that clinical supervision is a valuable and useful support tool for home care co-ordinators in order to facilitate empowerment, reflection and growth in practice. Further research is needed to provide evidence of the benefits of supervision on improving client outcomes.

  Title Nursing prioritisation of the patient need for care: Tacit knowledge of clinical decision making in nursing Type
  Year 2005 Publication Abbreviated Journal Victoria University of Wellington Library  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Clinical decision making; Nursing  
  Abstract (up) Effective nursing prioritisation of the patient need for care is integral to daily nursing practice but there is no formal acknowledgement or study of this concept. Utilising the retroductive research strategy of critical realism, this thesis explores the nursing literature for the tacit knowledge of the discipline about nursing prioritisation and proposes a 'fit' for nursing prioritisation of the patient need for care within the bigger picture of nurse clinical decision-making. The tacit knowledge discerned within the literature indicates that nurses use discretionary judgment and ongoing assessment to determine the relative importance of the many aspects of individual patient situations as they unfold. Such nursing prioritisation takes place concurrently between the competing or even conflicting needs of the several individual patient presentations within the nurse's caseload. Varied frames of reference within different practice settings create specific imperatives on this dynamic and non-sequential process. Starting with an initial set of studies in the 1960s, study of clinical decision-making in nursing has created a significant body of knowledge encompassing a range of approaches. Nursing prioritisation of the patient need for care is most readily discerned in the interpretive perspective and in the plain language descriptions of nurse decision-making. Within the selected literature it is apparent that nursing prioritisation of the patient need for care is an advanced skill of nursing that is developed in practice and honed through experiential learning.

  Title Building trust with families in neonatal intensive care units Type Journal Article
  Year 2006 Publication Kai Tiaki: Nursing New Zealand Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 12 Issue 6 Pages 18-20  
  Keywords Paediatric nursing; Neonatal nursing; Parents and caregivers; Communication  
  Abstract (up) Establishing a trusting relationship is a key therapeutic intervention for nurses working with families of hospitalised children. This article is an exploration of the definition of trust. Specifically, it considers how parents come to trust (or not) nurses in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) helps to reveal the meaning of parent-nurse trust and how this affects nursing practice. Understanding and meeting parental needs is important in developing and sustaining trust. The medical model of care often dominates in NICU. This is a deficit model that focuses on illness and treatment. However, the use of a nursing framework, such as developmentally supportive family centred care, focuses on recognising and building on the strengths of the family, by fostering trust to equip the family with the capacity to manage their infant's health care.
