Abstract |
This action research inquiry explores communication and nursing practice in an effort to improve practice and enhance patient care. Action research is a critical reflective process that involves spirals or cycles of planning, acting, reflecting/evaluating and replanning the next cycle. Using ear syringing as a procedure, in the general practice setting and at two separate surgeries, the author and another practice nurse co-researched this study during working hours. Twelve people consented to participate in the research that involved the audiotaping of each ear syringing interaction. Following each transcription of the recording, the researchers read their own and then each other's transcripts, and listened to the recordings. They discussed and reflected on their findings and planned the next cycle. Throughout the process, the researchers found a number of areas of practice to change or enhance. Changes included the use of technical language such as “contraindications” and “auditory meatus”, the side effects of syringing, improvements in communicating situations where ear syringing is not recommended and the options available, and post procedure information. These changes became a significant challenge, for example when both researchers forgot the changes, thus repeating previous errors and omissions. This factor highlighted the need to practise any changes prior to interactions, and to have a cue card on hand to facilitate recollection and to cement improvements into practice. Although time constraints limited this inquiry to three cycles, at the final meeting the researchers agreed to continue the reflective process they had begun to explore their practice. |

Abstract |
The function and implementation of clinical supervision in the practice setting presents a number of challenges for new graduate programmes for registered comprehensive nurses. There have been numerous reports and papers promoting its benefits as important and providing the impetus for change. Clinical supervision has been well established as part of social work, counselling, psychotherapy and psychoanalytic practice, and in mental health nursing and midwifery. Its utilisation for graduate nurses is clearly important and should be seen as integral to professional practice. This study evaluated a programme of clinical supervision as a component of a new graduate nurse programme in a secondary health care practice environment. The clinical supervision component aimed to support graduate registered nurses' transition from the role of student nurse to staff nurse in the context of professional clinical practice. This report is also intended to inform the ongoing provision of clinical supervision at Hutt Valley District Health Board. The evaluation process was guided by the work of Owen (1990) and used utilisation focussed evaluation as the framework on which to undertake the evaluation. A mix of quantitative and qualitative methodology was used to collect and analyse the data. Data were collected from nurse graduates of the new graduate programme using a postal questionnaire that covered three areas; clinical supervision, the Hutt Valley District Health Board new graduate programme and an evaluation of stakeholder roles. Twelve of the new graduates responded to the survey. Findings suggest clinical supervision provided professional support and assisted the new graduate in the identification of education needs. Difficulties associated with accessing the structured component of the new graduate programme and clinical supervision were highlighted. The recommendations made to Hutt Valley District Health Board to improve the programme include considering accessibility, consumer rights, acceptability, a comprehensive approach, the Treaty of Waitangi, efficiency and a coordinated approach. |

Abstract |
The aim of this paper is to report a study to compare the diabetes-related work roles, training and attitudes of practice nurses in New Zealand surveyed in 1990 and 1999, to consider whether barriers to practice nurse diabetes care changed through that decade, and whether ongoing barriers will be addressed by current changes in primary care. Questionnaires were mailed to all 146 practice nurses in South Auckland in 1990 and to all 180 in 1999, asking about personal and practice descriptions, practice organisation, time spent with patients with diabetes, screening practices, components of care undertaken by practice nurses, difficulties and barriers to good practice, training in diabetes and need for further education. The 1999 questionnaire also asked about nurse prescribing and influence on patient quality of life. More nurses surveyed in 1999 had post-registration diabetes training than those in 1990, although most of those surveyed in both years wanted further training. In 1999, nurses looked after more patients with diabetes, without spending more time on diabetes care than nurses in 1990. Nevertheless, they reported increased involvement in the more complex areas of diabetes care. Respondents in 1999 were no more likely than those in 1990 to adjust treatment, and gave a full range of opinion for and against proposals to allow nurse prescribing. The relatively low response rate to the 1990 survey may lead to an underestimate of changes between 1990 and 1999. Developments in New Zealand primary care are likely to increase the role of primary health care nurses in diabetes. Research and evaluation is required to ascertain whether this increasing role translates into improved outcomes for patients. |

Abstract |
This thesis describes an exploratory study of registered nurses within a local district health board which pursued 'if' and 'how' professional practice frameworks assisted nurses in their individual professional practice. Self assessment and performance appraisal are identified as critical elements of professional development by the Nursing Council of New Zealand, and this became the focus of the author's research. A qualitative descriptive framework was utilised to explore the research question, where experiences of registered nurses employed within inpatient adult medical and surgical settings were collected through questionnaire. Analysis of the data was through general inductive thematic approach. Eight themes arose, of which, two have sub-themes. The first four themes relate to self assessment and performance appraisal and the second four themes relate to professional practice. The findings from the participant's perspective provide an understanding of how participants' utilised self assessment and performance appraisal to inform their professional practice. There are significant implications for professional practice within the findings of this study, which are presented along with recommendations for future practice, and future avenues for research. |
