  Title An audit of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) patients representing acutely with chest pain within six months of PCI Type Manuscript
  Year 2007 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Hospitals; Clinical assessment; Cardiovascular diseases; Guidelines; Teaching methods  
  Abstract This reports an audit of the assessment practices at Christchurch Hospital, compared to international guidelines. The clinical notes of all patients who were re- admitted acutely with chest pain within six months of PCI procedures performed between 1/4/05 and 30/9/05 were audited. Ethics approval was granted and an audit tool was designed based on the 2000 ACC/AHA Guidelines for the management of patients with unstable angina. The purpose of the audit was to determine to what extent best practice guidelines were followed in the assessment of patients re-admitted with chest pain and to determine if there were any indicators (lesional, procedural or risk factors for restenosis) that predicted a normal or abnormal repeat coronary angiogram. 448 consecutive patients had PCI procedures, 36 patients represented acutely with chest pain and had repeat coronary angiography. In 18 patients the coronary angiogram was unchanged, 11 patients demonstrated instent restenosis, one patient demonstrated thrombus and six patients developed new lesions. The authors concluded that at Christchurch Hospital assessment practices are consistent with international guidelines. Of the patients who had repeat angiography, 50% had no coronary obstruction for the cause of pain. There was a relatively low incidence of acute representation with chest pain. These results suggest a revision of the guidelines for repeat angiography following PCI is warranted.

  Title Professional development in nursing through the pages of Kai Tiaki: A comparative analysis – 1920 to 1930 and 2000 to 2006 Type
  Year 2008 Publication Abbreviated Journal Otago Polytechnic library. A copy can be obtained by contacting pgnursadmin@tekotago.ac.nz  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Professional development; Nursing  
  Abstract Kai Tiaki, first published in New Zealand in 1908, provides a means of communication among New Zealand nurses. It is currently the journal of the New Zealand Nurses Organisation members and previously was aligned to the New Zealand Trained Nurses' Association in the 1920s. This dissertation examines what nurses write about professional development through the pages of Kai Tiaki. Two time periods are examined, 1920 to 1930 and 2000 to 2006.

Central to the discussion on professional development is post-registration education. Post-registration education in nursing commenced in New Zealand in 1928, and has progressed to the current day where nurses can engage in post-graduate nursing to master and doctoral level. Kai Tiaki provides a channel for nurses to discuss and debate their thoughts on post-registration and post-graduate education. Two key themes emerge from analysis. Firstly, the survival mode of nurses highlights oppression as a contributing factor to professional development. Secondly, examining the role of the New Zealand Trained Nurses Association (1920s) and the New Zealand Nurses Organisation (2000s) presents an understanding of the political nature of the journal itself and how this influences professional development. This dissertation provides critical reflection on professional development for nurses through the pages of Kai Tiaki and provides suggestions for future research.

  Title Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) prevention and nurses' checklist documentation of their indwelling catheter management practices Type Journal Article
  Year 2019 Publication Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 35 Issue 1 Pages 29-42  
  Keywords Catheter-associated urinary tract infection; UTIs; Infection prevention; Documentation; Indwelling catheter management  
  Abstract Investigates nurses' catheter management practices, by means of an audit, as documented in a newly-introduced self-administered indwelling catheter-management checklist incorporating four components of catheter care in a catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) prevention bundle. Identifies these components of the bundle of care as: minimisation of inappropriate catheter use, aseptic insertion of catheters, adherence to catheter maintenance guidelines, and ongoing review and evaluation of catheter necessity. Shows that implementation of care components decreases bacteriuria rates and CAUTI when used together in standardised clinical checklists and performed collectively by nurses. Employs a quantitative research design as part of a mixed-methods study conducted at two surgical wards in a public hospital in Auckland where 50 nurses completed 175 checklists.

  Title Professional support for the nurse practitioner in New Zealand Type
  Year 2004 Publication Abbreviated Journal Otago Polytechnic library. A copy can be obtained by contacting pgnursadmin@tekotago.ac.nz  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Nurse practitioners; Mentoring; Professional development  
  Abstract The nurse practitioner role is an important addition to nursing workforce development in New Zealand. At present there are relatively few nurse practitioners, however the number of nurses seeking Nursing Council endorsement continues to grow. These nurses are in a unique situation as pioneers having achieved the highest level of autonomous advanced nursing practice. This position will bring with it many challenges for those nurses who are among the first in the profession. Traditionally, nurses have always had formal and informal methods of support such as preceptors, role models and the hierarchy of nursing to help and guide them in their work. This network has generally been comprised of nurses more senior and qualified than the nurse needing support. Yet the nurse practitioner, considered to be the leading clinical nurse in New Zealand, may have very limited resources available for the clinical support needed to sustain their professional practice while keeping them refreshed, curious, creative and committed. The intent of this dissertation is to provide a framework of supportive mechanisms on which the emerging nurse practitioner can draw in their new professional domain throughout their career. The author explores the meaning of support, why there is a need for support for the nurse practitioner, the various methods of support noted in current literature and how these various methods can enhance the nurse practitioner's professional growth and development, maintain clinical safety, and foster job satisfaction.

  Title Condensate clearance from CPAP circuit: An examination of two methods of draining condensate from the inspiratory tubing Type Journal Article
  Year 2003 Publication Journal of Neonatal Nursing Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 9 Issue 4 Pages 117-120  
  Keywords Neonatal nursing; Infection control; Equipment and Supplies  
  Abstract Clinical studies on adult ventilated patients demonstrate that bacterial contamination of the condensate occurs in ventilator circuits. The purpose of this research is to find out if this is also true of the condensate in the Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) circuit. It aims to determine whether there is bacterial contamination in the humidifier reservoir of the CPAP system when the condensate is drained back into the humidifier reservoir without disconnecting the circuit, or when the inspiratory tubing is disconnected to drain out the condensate.
