Title The use of holistic nursing interventions in the treatment of breast cancer: a pilot study Type Journal Article
Year 1995 Publication New Zealand Practice Nurse Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages (down) 80-83
Keywords
Abstract Nursing is increasingly using holistic interventions. Some research validating these interventions has been conducted. However there was no nursing research for these interventions with women with breast cancer. This research explored the experience of one womean who was diagnosed with breast cancer and who actively chose to have these interventions as an adjunct to the medical treatment.It was a single subject phenomenological study, effectively being a pilot study. Data was collected through unstructured interview, participant observation and review of the nursing notes. Interpretative analysis techniques were used to obtain the results. Three themes of the experience of the subject were identified as:1. maintenance of the locus of control with the subject,2. the choice of a health professional with philosophical base similar to that of the subject and3. maintenance of a focus on healthy living.These interventions were perceived as beneficial by this subject. This research demonstrated that further study on the effectiveness of holistic nursing interventions with women being treated for breast cancer is indicated

Title The attitudes, knowledge and skills needed in mental health nurses: The perspective of users of mental health services Type Journal Article
Year 2005 Publication International Journal of Mental Health Nursing Abbreviated Journal
Volume 14 Issue 2 Pages (down) 78-87
Keywords Patient satisfaction; Psychiatric Nursing; Attitude of health personnel
Abstract In this study a qualitative descriptive methodology with focus group interviews was used to explore with users of mental health services, the attitudes, knowledge and skills that they need in mental health nurses. Users of mental health services valued the therapeutic work of mental health nurses, and identified positive attitudes towards users of mental health services as essential in mental health nurses. However, they did not consistently experience a therapeutic approach in their interactions with mental health nurses. In a sociopolitical climate where the views of users of mental health services are increasingly incorporated into education and the planning and delivery of services, there is a need for more research that reflects the perspective of users.

Title Evaluation of a change programme: model of nursing care delivery Type
Year 2009 Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages (down) 78 pp
Keywords
Abstract A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree of Master of Health Sciences.

Primary nursing as a framework within which nurses deliver patient care has been a nursing care delivery system of choice in New Zealand for the last two decades. A number of studies have been carried out, with a review of the literature suggesting inconclusive support for this delivery system over other functional nursing care models. However, there is support for the philosophy underpinning this model, with documented evidence that this framework can help nurses achieve a degree of professional development and autonomous practice that other models cannot. Using documented information created during the move from one model of nursing care to another this work evaluates what were the drivers for the change, how it was managed and what the outcomes were.

Findings indicated that this change project was a success. Analysis of the data collected pre and post implementation indicated some positive shifts, but more importantly it was the information gathered from both patients and nurses that gave creditability to the new model of nursing care.
