Title The scope of advancing nursing practice Type Journal Article
Year 1998 Publication Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal
Volume 13 Issue 3 Pages 13-24
Keywords Nursing specialties; Nursing
Abstract An overview of the model of nursing practice and nurse roles derived through a programme of nursing research in the context of the changing New Zealand health system. The emphasis is on the complementary nature of the practice of family nurses taking a generic integrative service delivery hub role and the practice of other nurses advancing in specialist roles. Nursing care is presented as a professional, collective practice of registered nurses spread across all health service sectors and employment settings. Nurse roles are differentiated according to the interplay of two factors influencing the extent of practice autonomy the nurses assume (educationally supported) in responding to health need. A diagram depicts the interrelationship of competency and scope for the inclusive three different career trajectories of nurses advancing in practice. NOTE: This paper was published with an error in the title of the article (stated correctly on the journal contents page). An apology from the journal editor with an explanation of the importance of the use of the term ?advancing? and not ?advanced? was published in the subsequent issue (Nursing Praxis in NZ,14(1)).

Title Education survey report: Implications for practice Type Report
Year 2008 Publication Abbreviated Journal http://www.nzno.org.nz
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Professional development; Professional Competence; Nursing
Abstract Professional development is an ongoing requirement of nurses as a result of the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act. The Act?s principal purpose is to protect the health and safety of the public by ensuring health practitioners are fit and competent to practise. This survey was designed to explore the avenues nurses have taken, and would prefer to take, for their professional development. The questionnaire was sent to a random sample of the New Zealand Nurses Organisation's registered and enrolled nurse members. Nurses overwhelmingly favoured professional development in the workplace. More than half the respondents reported a conflict with other time commitments, while a number of respondents wrote of their desire for work-life balance. The cost of fees, ability to take time off work, and time and travelling distance were all hurdles to professional development. Nurses cited information technology, conflict resolution, managing challenging behaviour, and dealing with rostered & rotating shifts as aspects of their current work for which their nursing education (pre and post) had not adequately prepared them. Nurses also indicated that their pre-registration education in health systems and political processes was inadequate for their current work. As nurses aged, their interest in professional development increased, though many still preferred workplace options. The authors conclude that, in order for professional development opportunities to be accessible and relevant, resources and time must be made available. This is vital to achieve ongoing education of nurses and improved patient outcomes. Management support, combined with effective assessment of learning needs guiding professional development opportunities, are fundamental to ensuring nurse competence.

Abstract This book examines in detail the confluence of personalities and professional and practice agendas, out of which emerged the research section, intent on placing research at the centre of the profession's evolution. It provides a fascinating look at how a group of women, utterly committed to nursing, drove their research agenda and it expands understandings of why nursing research is significant for the development of nursing.

Title Ginger compress therapy for adults with osteoarthritis Type Journal Article
Year 2010 Publication Journal of Advanced Nursing Abbreviated Journal
Volume 66 Issue 10 Pages 2225?2233
Keywords Ginger compress therapy; Giorgi?s method; nursing; osteoarthritis
Abstract Abstract

Aim. This paper is a report of a study to explicate the phenomenon of ginger

compresses for people with osteoarthritis.

Background. Osteoarthritis is claimed to be the leading cause of musculoskeletal

pain and disability in Western society. Management ideally combines non-pharmacological

strategies, including complementary therapies and pain-relieving

medication. Ginger has been applied externally for over a thousand years in China

to manage arthritis symptoms.

Method. Husserlian phenomenological methodology was used and the data were

collected in 2007. Ten purposively selected adults who had suffered osteoarthritis

for at least a year kept daily diaries and made drawings, and follow-up interviews

and telephone conversations were conducted.

Findings. Seven themes were identified in the data: (1) Meditative-like stillness

and relaxation of thoughts; (2) Constant penetrating warmth throughout the

body; (3) Positive change in outlook; (4) Increased energy and interest in the

world; (5) Deeply relaxed state that progressed to a gradual shift in pain and

increased interest in others; (6) Increased suppleness within the body and (7)

More comfortable, flexible joint mobility. The essential experience of ginger

compresses exposed the unique qualities of heat, stimulation, anti-inflammation

and analgesia.

Conclusion. Nurses could consider this therapy as part of a holistic treatment for

people with osteoarthritis symptoms. Controlled research is needed with larger

numbers of older people to explore further the effects of the ginger compress

therapy.

Title How Culture Influences Choosing Nursing as a Career Type Journal Article
Year 2012 Publication Whitireia Nursing Journal Abbreviated Journal Available through NZNO library
Volume Issue 19 Pages
Keywords Careers in Nursing; Minority Groups; Nursing Shortage; Personnel Recruitment
Abstract The purpose of this study was to explore how young people make career choices and why young people choose or reject nursing as a career choice. This study has highlighted the complexity of this decision-making process, and the importance of making positive connections and offering appropriate support during this process. It seems that many young people are well equipped to make career decisions when given support.

The need to recruit people from minority cultures into nursing is a global issue. This study also highlights the need for an inter-sectoral approach to raise the profile of nursing and make a career that is attractive to young people.
