Abstract |
This study explores the professional self-image of registered nurses, and investigates whether there were significant differences between Registered General and Obstetric nurses, and Comprehensive nurses; full-time staff; and between the work areas of Surgical, Medical and Obstetrics.A questionnaire designed by the researcher was used too collect data. From a stratified random sample of 230, a total of 209 Staff Nurses at Waikato Hospital completed the questionnaire (91% response). The sample was stratified by qualification, by type of employment, and by area of work.Results showed that overall in this study held a self-image not in keeping with the modern changing role of nursing. Significant differences were frequently found between full-time and part-time staff, and even fewer between the areas of work.Based on he results of this study, it was concluded that urgent action in needed to improve the self-esteem and self-image held by nurses, and even further research needs to be conducted into the following areas: attitudes, values and images held by nurses; attitudes and images held by the public, by patients and by student nurses |

Abstract |
Attitudes towards the concept of professionalism have not been explored to any great extent in this country, especially the attitudes of the Clinical Nurse practitioner. The importance of knowing what Nurses attitudes are to this concept is central to the recognition of the current developmental stage and growth of the profession. A twenty statement Like-style attitudinal questionnaire was given to Registered Nurses to measure current attitudes to professionalism. No statistical significance was found between the degree of positively to professionalism and years of service, educational qualifications eg, practise area, or involvement with a professional organisation. There appeared to be a positive relationship between questionnaire score and length of time in the current practise area ( the longer the service the higher the score). Further statistical significance was found in questions highlighting what Nurses think of Nursing as a profession. This study should form the basis of further research and provide some thought for Nurse leaders, educators and policy makers |

Abstract |
This study investigates the induction of comprehensive Nurses into a professional culture during their polytechnic education and the first year of Hospital practise. A critical theory framework combined with case study method is used to demonstrate the ways in which social forces constrain individual and professional action. It is argued that a more socially critical approach to the design of Nursing curricula might begin to transform some of the social structures which presently inhibit and constrain the professional choices and actions of student and graduate Nurse |

Abstract |
The author investigates the premises that form the basis of nursing practice in acute care. Assumptions about patients and caregiving are often at odds with each other. The origins of these tenets are mapped from Florence Nightingale through to present nursing theorists. Overlapping areas of nursing and medical care in the acute care setting are examined, and the conflict that can arise between traditional nursing care and the expected medical nursing role is examined. He argues that the challenge for acute care nurses is to find a balance between normative nursing and the medical model. |

Abstract |
The aim of this study was to describe the recruitment strategy and association between facility and staff characteristics and success of resident recruitment for the Promoting Independence in Residential Care (PIRC) trial. A global impression of staff willingness to facilitate research was gauged by research nurses, facility characteristics were measured by staff interview. Forty-one (85%) facilities and 682 (83%) residents participated, median age was 85 years (range 65-101), and 74% were women. Participants had complex health problems. Recruitment rates were associated (but did not increase linearly) with the perceived willingness of staff, and were not associated with facility size. Design effects from the cluster recruitment differed according to outcome. The recruitment strategy was successful in recruiting a large sample of people with complex comorbidities and high levels of functional disability despite perceptions of staff reluctance. Staff willingness was related to recruitment success. |

Abstract |
This dissertation explores the issues affecting the exposure of isolated rural nurses working in New Zealand to violence from members of the local community, including the visiting public. Discussion on the collaborative role with the New Zealand Police is thematic in the issues presented. Challenges presented include the unique community dynamics of the Stewart Island nursing practice on the Island, with scope of practice, isolation and practice issues included. Role definition, present-day health-care delivery, the potential for violence including causation and reporting are presented. Incident management and risk strategies, including de-escalation are rationalised and described. Evidence for the nurse-police inter-service relationship along with issues including confidentiality and legislation are reviewed. Recommendations and conclusion are provided. The thread and theme of the dissertation is to encourage discussion within nursing circles on the provision of satisfactory safety standards for nurses working in remote isolated parts of New Zealand. |

Abstract |
This chapter describes the development of a nurse-led after-hours telephone triage service in a rural secondary hospital in the Hawke's Bay District Health Board area. This service was a response to the health restructuring in the 1990s, which had led to the shift of secondary services out of the rural areas, and workforce recruitment issues. Secondly, it discusses the process and findings of a research project undertaken to identify and describe telephone callers' reported outcomes after using the service. The study found a high level of satisfaction amongst callers and a high level of compliance to advice. |

Data gathered during a whooping cough outbreak in the Northern Coromandel in 1995 highlights some distinct characteristics about how the disease manifestests itself in a defined geographical area, and about the place of prophylactic Erythromycin. This was probably the most fully documented outbreak in New Zealand, and possibly the first study conducted from a community perspective |
