Abstract  |
A student exercise using the qualitative research approach of Glaser and Strauss, commonly known as 'Grounded Theory'. The theory is generated from and grounded into data. Part One dealt with the advantages and disadvantages of qualitative research and its applicability as a methodology to add to Nursings' knowledge base. Part Two was a student learning exercise in the use of Grounded theory as a strategy for theory generation. Nurses identified three main categories that contributed to their perception of their stress level. 1. The degree of control Nurses perceived themselves as having on any given situation. 2. Their personal self image. 3. Their interpersonal skills and relationships with other people within the work environment |

Abstract |
A study exploring the following hypotheses: 1. That full time Nurses and part time Nurses are satisfied by different things, therefore the two groups will exhibit different reasons for leaving the Hospital. Full time Staff will leave because of lack of satisfiers, part time Staff will leave because of lack of Dis-satisfiers.. 2. The reasons for the psycopaedic assistants leaving will be different from those for Professional Staff as the presence of promotional opportunities and the acceptance of responsibilities do not apply to the non-professional staff. 3. Salary will not be a significant factor for Staff leaving. 4, The lack of job satisfaction has had little to do with staff terminating. 5. That the absence of a School of Nursing has been the reason for a significant number of Staff leaving to Nurse elsewhere |

Abstract |
A study of 33 adult patients – 20 Anglo – Australian, 13 Yugoslav- who were admitted for arranged abdominal surgery to three Australian hospitals between January and June 1980. Focusing on the role of cultural factors in the experience of post operative pain the study confirmed the existence of some behavioral differences between Anglo – Australian and Yugoslav patients in terms of their responses to pain. The greatest degree of difference between the two groups however was found in their underlying attitudes to pain |

Abstract |
A study of the life histories of five self-identified lesbian women in nursing is reported. A metastory of “In/Visibility” captured the essence of lesbians being the focus of intense scrutiny while at the same time feeling the pressure to keep their lifestyle and identity hidden from others. Seven story themes were elaborated: closeting of lesbianism in nursing, isolating and hiding from self and others, living a double-life, self-loathing and shame, experiencing discrimination from others, keeping safe, and threatening others who are closeted. |

Abstract |
A study to determine the content validity of an education instrument to assess the clinical competence of Comprehensive Nursing Students and the reliability of the Nursing Teachers using the evaluation instrument to assess student Nurses performance depicted on videotapes of simulated clinical situations. 24 of the Nursing Teachers in a school of Nursing rated student Nurses clinical performance in simulated videotaped clinical settings. One half of these Teachers assessed the students without a specific evaluation instrument and their assessments were compared with the Teachers using the existing evaluation for assessing Nursing students' clinical competence. The evaluation instrument was judged to be valid in terms of content by the Nursing Teachers taking part in the study. Rated reliability of observer agreement was not demonstrated with 24 Nursing Teachers rating 3 Nursing Students' clinical performance as videotaped in simulated clinical settings. The usefulness of videotapes for determining observer agreement and as a tool for use in staff training workshops, in relation to assessing clinical competence of Nursing Students is established |

Abstract |
A study to examine the effects of pre- information ( what a Nurse learns about a patient before they meet) on clinical inference and Nursing actions, in a simulated Nurse- Patient situation. It was hypothesised that the nature of the pre-information will influence the way the patient is perceived and the resulting Nursing actions. The research was conducted in an obstetrical setting. There were 55 subjects within three groups. Two groups comprised student midwives and the third group was of second year comprehensive Nursing students near completion of clinical experience in maternal and child health nursing. A 5 minute videotape sequence of a role played post natal patient was made for use in the research. All subjects were given the same initial pre-information, viewed the videotape and gave written description of what they saw on the videotape and their response ( as the Nurse in the situation). This data provided a base line for each subject. Subject were then given additional pre-information concerning the patient's physical condition, her baby's condition or formed part of the control group ( receiving no additional information) The procedure was repeated. These responses were then compared with the base line for each subject. Responses were coded by means of content analysis. Group data was analysed using multivariate one way analysis of variance graphical display. The results indicated support of the hypothesis that the nature of the pre-information does influence the way in which a Nurse perceives a patient and resulting Nursing actions. Implications of these findings for Nurses are discussed |

Abstract |
A submitted for the degree of Master of Health Sciences(Nursing Clinical)at The University of Otago, Christchurch.
This study examined the role of an advanced nurse practitioner in the identification, diagnosis and management of patients referred to an IBS nurse led clinic with symptoms of IBS as their primary problem. Items of interest were identification of the causes of symptoms, the effects of symptoms on quality of life (QOL), coping strategies of the patient, and patient satisfaction with care. These were measured by prospective data on two questionnaires given several months apart. In addition, some basic retrospective data were collected from a database of information on prior patients, to determine that the study subjects were representative of the IBS practice. |
