  Title Report on the pilot NZNO practice nurse accreditation programme March 1995 – April 1998 Type
  Year 1998 Publication Kai Tiaki: Nursing New Zealand Abbreviated Journal NZNO Library  
  Volume 4 Issue (down) 7 Pages 26  
  Keywords  
  Abstract The New Zealand Nurses organsation agreed to become the accrediting body for nurses in NZ in 1994 and Susanne Trim, NZNO Professional Nursing Adviser, worked with the National Practice Nurse Section to develop and pilot a model for accreditation.A consultative process was used to develop a framework and process during 1995 and this was unanimously endorsed in the April 1996 National Practice Nurse Section AGM.Implementation occurred from May 1996 to March 1998 with a comprehensive evaluation of the model collection of data from practice nurse applicants, non-applicants, the Practice Nurse Accreditation Board, National PN Sections and the project co-ordinator.The number of applications received exceeded expectations 212 (14% NZNO practice nurse members). There was a high level of satisfaction expressed by applicants.A number of content issues were identified during the pilot as needing review, clarification and amendment. These were of a minor nature rather than recommended changes to the structure itself.The accreditation Board processes were modified part way through the implementation to improve efficiencies and were found to be satisfactory. The training model and timing were appropriate.Administrative support and central co-ordination through designated NZNO staff member proved to be time consuming but vital.Practice Nurses embraced accreditation however as a group they have some minor unique characteristics. This should caution NZNO to proceed gradually with accreditation of other Section Nurses and monitor progress closely

  Title Editorial: Cultural Safety 20 Years On Time to Celebrate or Commiserate? Type Journal Article
  Year 2012 Publication Whitireia Nursing Journal Abbreviated Journal Available through NZNO library  
  Volume Issue (down) 19 Pages 5-8  
  Keywords Cultural Safety -- Education; Curriculum; Education- Nursing  
  Abstract There needs to be more practice-focused research about how cultural safety is experienced by the recipient of care and how it is applied in nursing and healthcare delivery. [...]sociology, science, and knowledge developed from within northern hemisphere societies. Because the ground is different for knowledge arising from the New Zealand experience, theorising cultural safety must be different too.

  Title Critical Elements of Pre-hospital Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Type Journal Article
  Year 2012 Publication Whitireia Nursing Journal Abbreviated Journal Available through NZNO library  
  Volume Issue (down) 19 Pages 9-17  
  Keywords Death, Sudden; Cardiac Defibrillators Automated; External Prehospital Care; Resuscitation; Cardiopulmonary Ventricular Fibrillation  
  Abstract Baker et al., (2008) showed diminished rates of survival in the CPR-first group. Based largely on the evidence of the two Australian RCTs, the 2010 ILCOR guidelines removed the recommendation for CPR first, stating that 'there is inconsistent evidence to support or refute a delay in defibrillation to provide a period (90 s to 3 min) of CPR for patients in VF/pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT) cardiac arrest' (ILCOR, 2010, p. e6).\n For this reason, and due to the increased chance of accidental defibrillation, it is the recommendation of the author that it only be used by health professionals who are able practise on a regular basis.

  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 (down) 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.

  Title Hardships and hurdles: The experiences of migrant nurses in New Zealand Type Journal Article
  Year 2010 Publication Kai Tiaki Nursing Research Abbreviated Journal NZNO Library  
  Volume 1 Issue (down) 1 Pages 4-8  
  Keywords Recruitment and retention; Personnel recruitment; Foreign nurses; English as a second language; Emigration and immigration; Bullying  
  Abstract The New Zealand nursing workforce is increasingly made up of overseas trained nurses. There is extensive literature from elsewhere in the world on the impacts of international nurse recruitment and migration on individual nurses and on health services. The literature also portrays evidence of abuse and exploitation, yet few studies are available relating to the experiences of migrant nurses in New Zealand. This research conducted a survey of overseas-trained nurses, specifically focusing on those nurses for whom English is not their first language, to understand the experiences and factors affecting migrant registered nurses in New Zealand. Given the importance to the New Zealand workforce of overseas-trained nurses, this research highlighted that more warnings and advice regarding recruitment agencies and information about nursing in New Zealand and the Nursing Council requirements for registration should be made available to nurses prior to their migration. Nursing leaders should be particularly alert to any evidence of bullying or discrimination based on race or overseas origin.

  Title Methodological issues with case study research Type Journal Article
  Year 2010 Publication Kai Tiaki Nursing Research Abbreviated Journal NZNO Library  
  Volume 1 Issue (down) 1 Pages 9-11  
  Keywords Research, nursing; Research methodology; Study design; data analysis; Data collection methods  
  Abstract Case study research, as a qualitative methodology, attracts some criticism, especially related to rigour, reliability and validity. A New Zealand-based study that explored complex phenomena – flexible learning for postgraduate nurses – provides a practical example of how the case study design can address these criticisms. Through describing the mixed methods used, different sources and methods of data collection, and data analysis, the process of achieving data quality and trustworthiness are highlighted.

  Title Routine and rigidity: Barriers to insulin initiation in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Type Journal Article
  Year 2010 Publication Kai Tiaki Nursing Research Abbreviated Journal NZNO Library  
  Volume 1 Issue (down) 1 Pages 19-22  
  Keywords Medication compliance; Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Insulin-Dependent; Primary health care  
  Abstract It has been shown that intensive management of diabetes with type 2 diabetes is effective and has led to wider use of insulin. The conversion of patients from oral medication to insulin is usually managed in primary care. The study discussed here aimed to explore how patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) perceived insulin. The study was conducted in 2009 in an urban general practice in a large town in New Zealand with more than 300 patients with type 2 diabetes. A qualitative study was conducted with face-to-face interviews with 13 participants. The question focused on insulin initiation, lifestyle and routine. The transcribed responses were subject to thematic anaylsis. Interviews showed participants felt restricted by the prospect and eventuality of the routine and restrictions of being on insulin. Results show there needs to be a greater emphasis on the disease being progressive. This study provides the ground work for developing resources that will benefit patients with T2DM.

  Title Positive pressure intravenous access ports on central venous devices in children: An evidence-based review Type Journal Article
  Year 2010 Publication Kai Tiaki Nursing Research Abbreviated Journal NZNO Library  
  Volume 1 Issue (down) 1 Pages 12-18  
  Keywords Venous pressure; Central venous pressure; Central venous catheters; Catheter-related infections; Children  
  Abstract This research aimed to assess the evidence for benefits and risks of positive pressure mechanical valve (PPMV) intravenous access ports on central nervous system devices (CVADs) in children. PPMVs on CVADs have been promoted as preventing occlusion and the need for heparin flushing. A search for primary research to March 2010 was conducted using MEDLINE, EMBASE and CINAHL. There is sufficient evidence that some models of PPMV intravenous access ports on CVADs, when flushed with normal saline, are associated with increased bloodstream infections in children. Further research is required.

  Title Communities of Practice: Supporting innovation to improve public health nurse and school community relationships Type Journal Article
  Year 2011 Publication Kai Tiaki Nursing Research Abbreviated Journal Held by NZNO Library  
  Volume 2 Issue (down) 1 Pages 21-26  
  Keywords  
  Abstract Public health nursing has been an integral part of health delivery services in New Zealand since the development of a public health service in the early 1900s.

This paper details a qualitative study of a practice innovation undertaken by a group of nurses to reconnect with their school communities. Questions focused on whether the relationship between the public health nurses and their school communities improved as a result of the innovation and what impact, if any, the project had on the public health nurse team itself. Community of practice theory revealed the importance of collaboration and the benefits that can accrue from this approach for both nurse and school communities.

  Title The evidence behind more than a decade of policy recommending influenza vaccination for young New Zealanders with long term medical conditions Type Journal Article
  Year 2011 Publication Kai Tiaki Nursing Research Abbreviated Journal Held by NZNO Library  
  Volume 2 Issue (down) 1 Pages 27-32  
  Keywords  
  Abstract This article reviews the recent evidence underpinning the New Zealand Ministry of Health's recommendation to offer free annual influenza vaccination to people aged six months to 64 years who have certain chronic medical conditions (eligible younger people). These results show there is relatively limited research providing evidence underpinning recommendations for influenza vaccination among people aged <65 years. These results show that there is a need to increase nurses' awareness of the rationale behind the New Zealand influenza vaccination policy, that this may in turn increase their willingness to recommend influenza vaccine to more eligible younger people.
