  Title Collaborative practice: A study in bridging the gap to transform the delivery of specialist palliative nursing care in residential aged care facilities Type
  Year 2005 Publication Abbreviated Journal Victoria University of Wellington Library  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Rest homes; Palliative care; Older people; Nursing; Advanced nursing practice; Terminal care; Geriatric nursing  
  Abstract This paper documents a practice development initiative with the aim of formulating a rationale for the professional practice development of a relatively recently conceived nursing initiative; that of a Palliative Care Liaison Nurse (PCLN) role. The project involved conducting an inquiry through a search of the literature with the aim of discovering ways to articulate, then develop, the role to meet the needs of elderly people living in Residential Aged Care Facilities (RACFs), their family and the whanau. The paper initially explores the concept of liaison roles globally, to consider how this role might be located as an interagency position between palliative care and aged care within the context of Aotearoa/New Zealand. The paper then reveals the perceived skills and personal attributes required by a person in the PCLN role that the author, drawing from personal and professional experience of having been appointed to this position, considers are necessary to effectively manage the diverse dimensions of this role. Bridging the gap is a key role discussed which centres on the capacity to organise and present an effective education programme while supporting, encouraging and role modeling for staff providing the day to day nursing care. This role involves practice wisdom and advocating for change and tolerance within everyday practice. An example of this dimension is discussed in depth, because the researcher considers that through staff working together, they can effectively bridge the knowledge-practice gap which exists between specialist palliative and gerontological nursing care.

  Title An integrated literature review of the role of the nurse practitioner in the emergency department Type
  Year 2011 Publication Abbreviated Journal NZNO Library  
  Volume Issue Pages 115 pp  
  Keywords  
  Abstract A dissertation in partial fulfilment of Master Health Sciences (Clinical)through University of Otago

The nurse practitioner is one of the newest nursing health care professionals to be introduced to the New Zealand health system for many years. Eighty-six nurse practitioners are credentialed in New Zealand, with three working in urban Emergency Department settings. Nurse Practitioners are common internationally especially in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Australia. The purpose of this integrated literature review is to explore current research and literature in regards to the Emergency Department Nurse Practitioner, and their role within emergency settings. This review presents the growth and development of the nurse practitioner as an advanced practice nursing position. Four key themes emerge from the literature review; education of the Emergency Nurse Practitioner , how and who defined the Emergency Nurse Practitioner role, practice setting of the Emergency Nurse Practitioner, and what the barriers are to independent practice. The economic, legal and governance aspects of the Nurse Practitioner role are also portrayed. This integrated review documents the potential for further development and expansion of the Emergency Nurse Practitioner scope of practice to provide a broad range of patient care services within Emergency Departments, and emergency care settings. Future research is essential for the promotion of autonomous practice of the Emergency Nurse Practitioner within the international and New Zealand health care system.

  Title Wairarapa Primary Health Care Nursing Workforce Survey – 2007: A replication Type
  Year 2008 Publication Abbreviated Journal Otago Polytechnic library. A copy can be obtained by contacting pgnursadmin@tekotago.ac.nz  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Primary health care; Nursing  
  Abstract The introduction of the 2001 New Zealand Primary Health Care Strategy has seen increased emphasis on the development of the national primary health care nursing workforce. National and local nursing workforce development initiatives, in response to the strategy, have seen evolving models of primary health care nursing practice in New Zealand. Research was undertaken in 2007 to review the current position of the Wairarapa primary health care nursing workforce. Quantitative, descriptive data was generated through the application, at a local level, of the 2001 Ministry of Health Primary Health Care and Community Nursing Workforce survey tool. Many of the regional challenges highlighted by survey respondents in 2007 are similar to those identified in the national 2001 survey. These include predominantly low numbers of Maori, Pacific and male primary health care nurses and a fragmented, part-time and aging workforce with many respondents indicating they undertake more than one nursing role in their organisation. Respondents were similarly unsure or did not have clear clinical career pathways available to them, a mechanism by which nurses can advance their clinical practice. Some unique service provision and workforce development issues related to Wairarapa's rural context include: geographical barriers, population spread and the high health needs of its rural population. Some unique regional differences compared to the 2001 data are: lower numbers of nurses studying toward further qualifications and specific barriers to accessing education opportunities that can be linked to living in a rural region. More respondents indicated they could work collaboratively with other nurses and health professionals within their own and other organisations. While many respondents were able to provide insightful examples of specific nursing strategies in their practice targeted towards reducing inequalities for groups at risk, others could not. Enrolled nurses remain part of the Wairarapa primary health care nursing workforce. Ten percent of the respondents were actively practising enrolled nurses with an average of 24 years experience in primary health care nursing. Direction and delegation requirements by registered nurses for this group and national attrition trends with corresponding loss of workforce experience of enrolled nurses highlight an area in the Wairarapa primary health care nursing workforce that requires further consideration. Overall this study contributes to current knowledge by establishing a regional nursing workforce baseline from which to measure and enable focused future workforce development initiatives and research. Regional findings can be used to inform recommendations within the Wairarapa Primary Health Care Nursing Action Plan 2006-11 to enhance the delivery of well-developed primary health care nursing services with benefits for the Wairarapa community.
