  Title Emergency nurses' perceptions of the impact of postgraduate education on their practice in New Zealand Type
  Year 2008 Publication Abbreviated Journal NZNO Library  
  Volume Issue (down) Pages  
  Keywords Emergency nursing; Nursing; Education  
  Abstract ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Emergency nursing is a specialty concerned with the care of people of all ages, with either perceived or actual unwellness presenting to the emergency department(ED) for assessment, resuscitation, investigation, treatment and review of their illness or injury. Emergency nurses apply specialty knowledge and expertise in the provision, delivery and evaluation of emergency nursing care. Over recent decades social, political and professional changes have affected nursing care delivery and nursing education. In particular the 21st century has witnessed the development of state funded postgraduate nursing education programmes, developing nurses specialty or advanced nursing knowledge, quality patient/client care and nursing practice within the tertiary education system.

AIM: The aim of this study is to investigate emergency nurses? perceptions of the impact of postgraduate education on their practice in New Zealand (NZ).

METHODS: This study utilises critical social theory as the overarching framework, informed by the writing of Jürgen Habermas (b.1929- ). It is the three phases of

Habermas?s practical intent of critical social theory; namely enlightenment, empowerment and emancipation, that this study is concerned with. This descriptive research study employs both quantitative and qualitative methods and is therefore known as mixed-methods research. Data collection took place over 12 weeks, from August to November 2006, using a survey questionnaire obtained with permission from Ms Dianne Pelletier, Sydney, Australia. The sample included 105 emergency nurses from District Health Board (DHB) emergency departments in NZ, 10 respondents from this sample self-selected to be interviewed by telephone. Ethical approval for this study was obtained from the University of Otago Ethics Committee for research involving human participants. Data was analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS).

RESULTS: Two main themes arose from the thematic analysis; these being positive and negative, these themes were further divided into 10 sub-themes. The results indicate that postgraduate study (PGS) has increased nurses? perception of their knowledge; leadership and understanding on the quality of patient care delivered, increased their academic and research skills and increased their confidence/self-esteem and recognition by their colleagues and team. Therefore the majority of respondents perceive postgraduate education has been an instrument of liberation and a process of empowerment and emancipation. A smaller percentage of respondents perceived that PGS had no effect on various aspects of patient care and another significantly smaller percentage of respondents reported negative results from PGS. This research identified similarities between this study and that of Pelletier and colleagues? (2003; , 2005; , 1998a; , 1998b) Australian study.

CONCLUSION: This study adds to the existing literature on postgraduate studies undertaken by nurses. No known study has previously investigated solely emergency nurses?perceptions of the effects of PGS, either nationally or internationally. The results of this study offer enlightening information regarding emergency nurses? perceptions of their PGS within NZ and offers a platform from which other studies may be undertaken. It also has the potential to inform nurses contemplating PGS and educators facilitating these programmes,as well as provide implications for policy development by the Nursing Council of NZ, NZ Universities, DHBs and the Ministry of Health.

  Title The elective way: An exploration of pre-operative education for orthopaedic joint replacements Type
  Year 2006 Publication Abbreviated Journal Victoria University of Wellington Library  
  Volume Issue (down) Pages  
  Keywords Patient satisfaction; Surgery; Education  
  Abstract This research paper provides a description and analysis of literature and research focusing on pre-operative education programmes available internationally and nationally for patients receiving total joint replacements. This discussion differentiates between pre-assessment and pre-operative education to provide an understanding that both aspects are important in there own right. Together pre-assessment and pre-operative education complement each other to provide total care for patients awaiting total joint replacement surgery. One way of alleviating apprehension experienced by the patient about their surgery is by providing appropriate joint replacement education programmes that meet their needs. This type of programme is a form of empowerment which provides patients with appropriate and relevant information. This allows the patient to be actively involved in their own care and enable them to make informed decisions. The importance of education, information and communication; anxiety and pain; family and peer support; mobility and insecurity is a common thread in the literature where patients describe their experiences and concerns following a total joint replacement. These concepts are discussed and related to why pre-operative education programmes are recommended to help alleviate patients concerns and are important in providing a total multidisciplinary approach to care.

  Title Patient experience of joint replacement education: A joint venture Type
  Year 2006 Publication Abbreviated Journal ResearchArchive@Victoria  
  Volume Issue (down) Pages  
  Keywords Nurse-patient relations; Health education; Communication  
  Abstract The aim of this research was to explore patients' educational experiences and the usefulness and benefits of this health education in the rehabilitation period, when undertaking a total joint replacement. An exploratory, qualitative descriptive study method was used to describing patients' experiences of health education. Five participants, convenience sampled, were interviewed eight to twelve weeks post surgery following unilateral total joint replacement in a tertiary hospital. Participants valued the education they received pre operatively, which included written material, video and individual interaction with varied health professionals. Although this was provided in a timely manner, evidence showed limited post operative reinforcement and follow up of given education and preparation for discharge. Three 'partnership' themes were identified from data, Communicative, Subservient and Knowledge. 'Communicative Partnership' conceptualised the participants' experiences of the nurse-patient relationship, whilst 'Subservient Partnership' captured the participants' experiences of 'being' patients. 'Knowledge Partnership' combined the participants' ideas about knowledge and their retention of this knowledge to assist with their rehabilitation post surgery. The needs and experiences of patients after total joint replacement reflect on transitional change – changes in roles, behaviour, abilities and relationships. Educational contents need to reflect a realistic recovery process to assist with this transitional period, delivered by health care professionals in a manner best suited for patients.
